Saltpipe for Children

 

 

 

 Salphant is a Saltpipe designed for children. It is a natural product that produces the benefit of natural salt air to aid the breathing system. We may observe that when children having asthma go to holiday at seaside, the attack of asthma seem to be rarely happened. Because salt is natural product and it has been used for centuries to cure breathing problems, it is safe to our children. Many parents got Salphant for their children and found that their children got the benefit from inhaling through Salphant.

Saltpipe / Salphant is recommended to use in children who are minimum 3 years old. In fact, there is no age limited but the reason to recommend of a child who is older than 3 is the method of using this saltpipe is a bit difficult for children. Children are need to be taught to inhale through the mouth and exhale through the nose or inhale through the nose and exhale through the nose/mouth without blowing air back into the pipe. We must teach children not to blow the air into the pipe because the salt crystal will be damaged.

Introducing Saltpipe / Salphant to young children, it is advice that the parent should use it for couple times before handling it to the child. The salty air in the saltpipe container at the first use is a bit salty and children may put it off. The parent could help by using it and when you feel the salty taste begins to disappear, so we can give it to the children to use. It is also important for a very young child that parent should supervise while the child is using it.

There is no different between the quality and quantity of Salphant and adult saltpipe called "Saltpipe" but the elephant shape will make children more motivation to use it.

 

Testimonials from parent whose child using the Salphant

"Connor liked the look of the Saltpipe he used it twice a day for 15 minutes, at first there was a strong salty taste however after a few breaths this went away. He persevered and uses the pipe himself. He has tried breathing through the nostrils too and is happy to do it either way but chooses to do via the mouth mostly. The improvement to his health has been noticeable at night he no longer snores, he has had a couple of colds this year the first lasted no longer than a week and he had only a couple of days off school. The second he has been able to cope without time off school and has kept up his sport he now plays rugby.

My happiest time was 2 months ago he managed to score a try in Rugby he got the ball and sprinted half the length of the pitch, I was so proud and overjoyed that this child who used to get so quickly out of breath played a full game running around for 20 minutes at a time and was neither not red or out of breath."

"My 13 year-old daughter has a specific, very fierce allergy. Paints, Paint thinners, deodorants, thick and strong odours cause her suffocation. In these cases, she was immediately taken from school to the Heim Pál Childrens' Hospital with emergency ambulance. We could get a Saltpipe in June, 2001 with the help of one of our friends, which brought us carefree days. My little girl didn't get into such a serious stage since then, because her suffocations disappeared, thanks to this instrument. Her seizures turn up rarely and they become slighter and more handle able. She says these scary words: "It's stinky in here" less frequently, so we don't have to be on the run and call the ambulance. We just take out the Saltpipe, which we keep with us all the time, and breathing through it, her problems are gone in a minute.
Thanks to you for that!" Mother of Alexandra Széles Budapest

"We absolutely love the Saltpipe! It really seems to have stopped my son's nighttime cough (allergic, the doctor suspects) and helped my daughter's throat/nasal congestion, also allergic. Thank you and congratulations on a wonderful product!" Yvonne--Greece

Asthma is a common condition that causes coughing, wheezing, tightness of the chest and breathlessness in about 1 in 10 children. Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases of childhood. An estimated 4 million children under 18 years old have had an asthma attack in the past 12 months, and many others have "hidden" or undiagnosed asthma. Asthma is the most common cause of school absenteeism due to chronic disease.

Even though asthma cannot be cured, it can almost always be controlled. There are several of conventional medicines used to control an asthma attack. However, these medicines can be double edges-sword. It may accumulate into children's body and present some side effects later on
