Why do we exhale through our nose?When you are using the AiroMedic inhaler you have to inhale through the mouth, and exhale through the nose. This is very important because this is the only way that the salt crystal mixture can reach the upper respiratory tract (maxillary sinus) and that’s how it cleans the whole breathing system. Take care to breathe normally, gently and not too deeply.

Do I need to change the salt in the AiroMedic inhalerNo. The salt which we supply with our inhalers is approximately 200 million years old, so there are certainly no worries of it having a best before date!

How often should I use my AiroMedic inhalerFor the best results we recommend that you use you AiroMedic inhaler for a minimum of 10 breaths, 3 times per day. If the user wishes, they can use the AiroMedic inhaler for as long as they are comfortable with, as there is no upper limit to its use. The most important advice is to use the inhaler regularly on a daily basis for maximum benefits.

When will I start to feel the benefits?You will need to use your AiroMedic inhaler every day for 15 minutes. Some people see an improvement in their symptoms within days whilst others may not see a difference for weeks. The most important thing to remember is that you use your saltpipe regularly every day. Your respiratory condition may have been with you for years due to hardened mucus blocking the airways through the respiratory tract. More effort and use is needed to break down the hardened mucus, this isn't going to happen overnight. Regulas use will help you achieve better results.
