On Thursday 3^rd Drogheda got its first dedicated Cystic Fibrosis paediatric unit thanks to the late Paddy Kierans with his wife Julie, also friends & supporters. They raised €570,000 to make this dream possible.

This centre is high tech unit and has air purification system in place.

Cystic fibrosis CF is an inherited chronic disease that primarily affects the lungs and digestive system.

The unit is situated at, no 52 Windmill Road, Drogheda beside The Lourdes hospital.

“My lung function has greatly improved and I no longer have shortness of breath doing everyday activities. It has reduced my hospital admissions and I am generally feeling a lot healthier. People have commented on how well I look. I have also stopped taking my hay fever tablets as I no longer need them. Brilliant! Thank you!”

If you or a family member suffers from cystic fibrosis, you should seriously consider Salt Therapy. Not only will it bring much-needed relief, but it also prevents your symptoms recurring so frequently.

Salt Therapy is a clinically proven natural, safe and beneficial method of treatment for every age group. By visiting one of our Salt Rooms and breathing in the saline aerosol generated by our machine it can significantly help to:

• Reduce the need for inhalers and antibiotics
• Make your breathing easier after just a few sessions
• Improve lung function
• Reduce the number of hospital admissions
• Alleviate sneezing, coughing, and shortness of breath
• Clear mucus and sticky phlegm from the lungs
• Kill bacteria
• Increase the resistance to respiratory tract diseases

HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU COME

Depending on age and stage of your condition, 20-30 sessions are recommended for long term results.

Then follow-up sessions every two to three months are recommended to maintain the clear lung, clearing out retained mucus from the humps.

The treatments should be frequent; about two or three a week is suggested.

Do you experience sinusitis? Are you prone to chest infections, colds or flu? If the answer is yes then you understand how draining it can be when you have constant headaches and you’re breathing pattern is disturbed by excess mucus and a stuffy nose. The colour of your mucus may give you an idea about how serious the condition may be. A green coloured substance may indicate a bacterial infection, yellow mucus may be a sign of a sinus infection, clear and watery is considered normal and a white colour can be the overuse of dairy products which encourages a build-up of mucus. A pink coloured mucus with other symptoms including loss of appetitie, fatigue, shortness of breath may indicate something more serious and you should seek medical attention.

Swallowing the mucus won’t do you harm, but you are reintroducing it to your system and it is best to spit it out instead. If you find that the mucus travels from your nose and drips into the back of your throat this is known as a nasal drip. the mucus dripping down the back of the throat is irritating and may cause a cough or make you feel hoarse. At salt of the earth we recommend using a sinus rinse in conjunction with salt therapy for both post nasal drip and sinusitis. Rinsing out your sinuses washes out the bacteria that can cause infection. Only use the sinus rinse when you need it as you may wash away protective substances if you use it too often.By using the sinus rinse before you come to salt of the earth you can clear the larger blockages and allow the salt to works its way through the sinuses and target the smaller blockages. Salt therapy will help to breakdown congestion and the mucus or phlegm can be expelled through the nose and mouth. Once this congestion gets broken down, the salt acts as anti-inflammatory, relieving headaches around the temples and tension around the cheekbones and jawline.
