Saltpipe for children

Alphant is a Saltpipe designed for children.

It is a natural product that produces the benefit of natural salt air to aid the breathing system.

We observe that when asthmatic children go on holiday to the seaside, the asthma attacks seem to rarely happen.

Because salt is natural product and it has been used for centuries to cure breathing problems, it is safe for our children.

Many parents that purchased the Salphant for their children have found that their children benefited from inhaling through the Salphant.

What is Eczema?

Eczema is a term used for a group of skin conditions having several things in common: dryness, itching, inflammation and thickening of skin, and recurrence.

What Causes It?
Nobody knows exactly why some people are affected by these rashes and others with the same exposure aren’t.

Those with atopic dermatitis often have non-skin allergies (like hay fever and asthma) but their rashes aren’t caused by skin allergies.

On the other hand, those with contact dermatitis do have true skin allergies, but usually not other allergic problems like someone with atopic dermatitis.

Contact dermatitis occurs at all ages, whereas atopic dermatitis is most often a problem in kids. Hand dermatitis is caused by skin irritants such as detergents or chemicals.

Dry (chapped) skin occurs because of lack of water in the stratum corneum (see diagram).

If your skin surface doesn’t have enough oil, there’s more evaporation of water which contributes to the dryness.

My Asthma Inhaler

Recently I became very depressed when my asthma inhaler was lost.

I felt much better when I found myself not needing it for few weeks...

I heard that soon all rescue inhalers will be changed to what are known as earth-friendly rescue inhalers.

Until now, the albuterol inhaler may have used chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) to deliver the medicine into our lungs.

CFCs are safe for us , but hurt the environment.

The United States is requiring all inhalers to change to hydrofluoroalkane (HFA), an earth-friendly alternative to CFC.

This change will help make the air better for everyone.
HFA inhalers contain the same medicine and provide the same relief as your current CFC inhaler.
