Health professionals - are your patients using salt therapy, a 💯% natural and traditional form of immune support targeting the mucus membrane?
Just as the neti pot does for the sinus tract (nose), the Himalayan Crystal Salt Inhaler creates a salt environment in the bronchial tract (lungs) which, according to the Lung Institute, results in anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory properties, thinning and reducing the build-up of excess mucus and helping to reduce congestion and support ease of breathing.*

Not all inhalers are alike. Only Symphony Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® inhalers are:
*Hand-made of high-quality ceramic in the US using lead-free decals and coating.
*Filled with premium coarse ground Original Himalayan Crystal Salt which contains 84 trace and ultra-trace minerals.
*Refillable using a BPA-free rubber stopper with a standard refill lasting up to 18 months.

To replace, or not replace? Hormones, that is.

It's a very personal question as to whether or not the net results will be positive for an individual. But, according to this Mayo Clinic publication, exercise and moderate caloric restriction are the recommended therapy for endocrine regulation -with virtually no negative side effects and nearly guaranteed health benefits.

"Hormone replacement therapy often results in either very minor benefits and/or increased risk for adverse events in the healthy aging population. Thus, for aging adults that do not have clinical indications of hormone deficiency based on careful assessment, hormone replacement therapy is not advised. Rather, probably the most effective and modifiable lifestyle factors that result in health benefits during aging are exercise and CR.

Unlike hormone replacement therapy, exercise or CR rarely result in detectable negative side effects. Additionally, besides the influence that exercise and CR have on endocrine regulation during aging, there are a variety of additional health benefits that these lifestyle modifications can provide."
