Lungs Disease Types
Airway diseases affect the tubes (airways) that carry oxygen and other gases into and out of the lungs. These diseases cause a narrowing or blockage of the airways. They include asthma, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis. People with airway disease sometimes describe the feeling as trying to breathe out through a straw.
Pulmonary Vascular diseases affect the blood vessels in the lungs. They are caused by clotting, scarring, or inflammation of the blood vessels (e.g primary pulmonary hypertension, chronic thromboembolic disease), They affect the ability of the lungs to take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. These diseases may also affect heart functions
What is COPD?
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disease characterized by airflow limitation, making it difficult for individuals to breathe.
While there is no cure for COPD, various treatments aim to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
It’s important to note that Himalayan salt therapy, also known as halotherapy or salt therapy, has not been proven as a primary or effective treatment for COPD

Asthma is a chronic disease that affects the airways, which causes breathing problems, and can be life threatening.
The inside walls of the airways are inflamed (swollen). The inflammation makes the airways very sensitive, increasing their tendency to react strongly to allergens or be irritated.

responsiveness after an allergen challenge causes it to get narrower and less air flows through to the lung tissues.
This causes symptoms like wheezing ( a whistling sound when you breathe ), chest tightness, and trouble breathing.
