Would breathing in vaporised salty solution be bad for your lungs?

512 viewsBiologyOther

There are portable vaporiser machines currently being marketed for use when sick to breathe in a salt solution – would this be bad for your lungs? I have used these type of devices for asthma when I’m sick with a prescribed medication solution, however, I’m interested if anyone has tried this with just water (and does it work?) Or with the salt solution (and does it work?) Or is salt a very bad idea as can the salt crystallise on your lungs?

Been to the beach? Congrats, you’ve breathed in salty air. Probably made your lungs feel better too, I know mine always do
