Hypertonic saline?

Juliet · Sep 18, 2008

I absolutely love the HTS. The first few days it can be a smidge irritating, but as Caitlin mentioned I do my Xopenex at least 20 minutes before the HTS. My doctors upped my HTS prescription to up to 4 times a day as needed. I always do it once in the AM. If I'm feeling gunked up or tight I may do it more times or may do a double dose in the morning. The best part is that it's not a drug so there's very little to worry about like with all the other abx and steriods and stuff we often take. It's just salt water!! Give it a good chance. BTW< there are 3% and 7% concentrations that come in premade ampules (very handy). You can also have a pharmacist (or you) mix other concentrations. I use the 7% solution. ~Juliet

Vampy,
Welcome back! Glad to hear things are going well! I love HTS. It makes me feel like I'm back at the beach, breathing in the salty ocean air. I do it 2-3 times a day. I started on 3% but would definitely up that to 10% next time I order. You can also get 7% which is kind of in the middle. I agree with Juliet, it's a nice treatment because it's all natural, not a scary abx or anything. Get ready to cough, though! Take care!
