What is Cystic Fibrosis?Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disorder that
causes severe damage to the lungs, digestive system, and other organs in the body. Cystic Fibrosis affects the cells that produce mucus, swear and digestive juices. These secreted fluids are normally thin and slippery. In some people with Cystic Fibrosis, a defective gene causes the secretions to become sticky and thick. Instead of acting as a lubricant, the secretions plug up tubes, ducts and passageways especially in the lungs and pancreas. How can Halotherapy help with my Cystic Fibrosis symptoms?Halotherapy has proven to be an
invaluable resource for sufferers of cystic fibrosis. The hydrophilic and mucokinetic action of inhaled salt particles thins unnaturally thick and sticky mucus, clearing accumulated secretions and unclogging passages in the bronchi and bronchiole. Other benefits are the absorption of edema from the mucosa lining of the airways and the reduction of inflammation in the respiratory tract and sinuses. |
