Using Your Salin Plus Device at Home
Did you know that you can improve your respiratory health gently and safely, simply by improving the air quality in your home? Salin Plus is a compact device that delivers a high concentration of salt particles into the air in your home, helping to treat respiratory conditions such as asthma and COPD and reducing the symptoms of allergies.
Salt therapy has been used to treat breathing conditions for millennia, and its usage is documented from Roman civilisations to the salt mines in Poland in the 12th century, before it began to be used commercially in the 1800s. It is a well-established treatment that eases irritation in the lungs and helps to expel mucus from the body, and it is non-invasive and easy to use at home. Salt Air Purifiers, such as Salin Plus, are suitable for use for all, including babies and pregnant women, so let’s take a look at how you can optimise the effects in your home…
How Does the Salin Plus Work?
Salin Plus is an air purifier that is designed to add pure salt crystals into your indoor environment, and it does this by filtering air through a filter that contains sodium chloride
(98%), as well as 0.5% calcium chloride and magnesium, 0.2% iodine and sulphur. This delivers a fine spray of microcrystalline salt particles into the air constantly, and it is recommended that it be used for at least 8 hours per day.
You can use the Salin Plus in your home, your office or even your car, and one device can cover spaces up to about 150 cubic metres, or 55 square metres. Salin Plus is often best used at night, since this allows for uninterrupted inhalation for longer periods of time. It is recommended for the treatment of many conditions, including Cystic Fibrosis, COPD, Hayfever and Sinusitis, as well as persistent chest infections and asthma.
Where Should I Put The Salin Plus Device?
The Salin Plus device is compact and can easily be moved between rooms, or you can treat your whole home at once with multiple devices. There are many different ways to use the Salin Plus, and it is ultimately up to you where you choose to put the device, but we often recommend these locations:
- The bedroom. The bedroom is a great place to put your Salin Plus device, since it can help to promote better sleep and will allow for longer periods of treatment. Salin Plus should be used for at least 8 hours daily, so using it overnight is ideal.
- Children’s bedrooms. The device is especially effective in children’s bedrooms, where they will be able to inhale the salt particles for longer. Children tend to be more prone to breathing difficulties than adults, because their lungs are still developing, so ensuring that they are breathing cleaner, healthier air can have a very positive impact on their general health and wellbeing.
- The lounge. If you tend to spend a lot of time in your lounge, this will be a great place to use your Salin Plus. If you are watching TV or socialising in your lounge, you can improve your respiratory health while you get on with your everyday life! If children are playing in your lounge, this will be especially helpful for them, as they tend to play on carpets or flooring that may contain higher concentrations of harmful chemicals that can irritate sensitive lungs.
- The home office. If you work from home, you’ll probably spend a lot of time in your home office, and this is a great location for your Salin Plus. While you’re working, you can also do something positive for your health and ensure that you are spending your time in a clean and healthy environment.
- The playroom. Anywhere that children play is a great place to put your Salin Plus device, as they will be inhaling the healing salt particles without even noticing. Young children are often exposed to higher concentrations of chemicals, especially from carpets or floor cleaners, and these can be harmful to vulnerable lungs.
In short, wherever you spend your time is the perfect place for your Salin Plus! We would always advise you to keep it away from open windows and to avoid the kitchen due to the humidity. You can simply plug your Salin Plus device in and benefit from healthier air straight away, so you can try several options and see which works best for you.
Can I Improve Air Quality In My Home?
Many people do not realise that the air quality in their homes may be causing problems for their respiratory health. There are many simple changes you can make to create a healthier environment alongside the usage of your Salin Plus, and we recommend the following:
- Enable air to circulate. Proper ventilation in your home can make a big difference to air quality, and it is a good idea to open windows during the day to improve air flow.
- Wash your bedding regularly. Bedding and pillows should be washed every week to eliminate dust mites and particles, and you can put soft toys into the freezer overnight to kill off any dust mites that they may be harbouring.
- Vacuum regularly. Carpets and other soft surfaces, such as sofas and mattresses, can be breeding grounds for dust mites and other irritants. Vacuuming is the best way to eliminate these, and a vacuum cleaner with HEPA filters can go the extra mile in helping to keep your indoor environment clean.
- Address mould and humidity issues. Mould, damp and high humidity can lead to serious health problems, and you should address these issues if you know they are present in your home. You may consider using a dehumidifier if your home is prone to these problems.
- Use natural products or non-chemical alternatives. There are thousands of products designed for use in the home, and many of them contain chemicals that can be extremely harmful to health. Take a look at the products you use for cleaning, as well as your bath, shower and beauty products, and see if you can find chemical-free options wherever possible.
