Schwäbisch Hall – October 28, 2026 -- KLAFS offers the patented Microsalt SaltProX, a compact dry-salt inhalation system that works at home or on the road and is meant to support the airways through the cold season.
Cold and dry air strain the airways in autumn and winter
The airways clear themselves with a thin layer of mucus that binds particles and pathogens. Millions of tiny cilia move this film toward the throat, where it is carried away. Cold outdoor air and dry heated air can dry out the mucous membranes and disrupt this process. When mucus becomes too thick, it is removed less effectively.
Microsalt SaltProX turns rock salt into microscopic particles
The system grinds natural rock salt into microscopic particles and disperses them in the room air. Inhaled particles settle on the mucous membranes and can help loosen thick mucus and ease its removal. Unlike steam inhalation, dry salt adds no extra moisture to the air.
Combining salt air with a sauna adds heat to the routine
In a sauna, the dry air favors a high concentration of salt aerosols. Body temperature rises, blood vessels widen and circulation increases. During cooling down, the vessels contract again, which puts a targeted stimulus on the body's temperature regulation.
A study published in 2026 examined immune cells after a 30-minute sauna session and found changes in the blood. Long-term observations also indicate that regular sauna users may be less likely to develop certain respiratory illnesses. The source stresses that regularity is what counts.
Opera tenor Jonas Kaufmann inhales salt air daily
Kaufmann uses the Microsalt SaltProX every day to care for his voice, which is heavily taxed on the opera stage. He says mucous membranes regenerate faster by the sea, and the device lets him bring that effect home or on tour. In his view, it cleans the airways and soothes the vocal cords. He keeps it in his routine while traveling.
