Cystic Fibrosis
About Cystic Fibrosis
In the UK, approximately one in every 2,500 babies is born with cystic fibrosis, and there are over 9,000 people currently living with the condition.
The most serious symptom is difficulty breathing, which often results from frequent lung infections. While these infections can be managed with antibiotics and other medications, there is currently no cure for the condition.
How Can Salt Therapy Help
For individuals living with cystic fibrosis, Salt Therapy can provide much-needed relief while helping to reduce the frequency of recurring symptoms.
Salt Therapy is a clinically proven, natural, and safe treatment suitable for all age groups. By spending time in our Salt Therapy Room and inhaling the fine saline aerosol, you may experience a range of benefits, including:
Easier breathing and improved lung function, often noticeable after just a few sessions
Reduced reliance on inhalers and antibiotics
Fewer hospital admissions
Relief from sneezing, coughing, and shortness of breath
Clearing mucus and sticky phlegm from the lungs
Antibacterial effects to help fight infections
Anti-inflammatory support to calm irritated airways
Increased resistance to respiratory tract diseases
Salt’s mucolytic properties help to shift retained mucus, reducing the risk of infection and supporting overall respiratory health, making it a valuable complementary therapy for managing cystic fibrosis.
How often should you come
For long-term benefits, a course of 20–30 Salt Therapy sessions is generally recommended, depending on age and the stage of your condition.
To maintain clear lungs and help remove retained mucus, follow-up sessions every 2–3 months are advised.
Sessions are most effective when scheduled 2–3 times per week, ensuring consistent exposure to the therapeutic effects of inhaled salt.
