Natural mineral support for mucous membranes
Karlovy Vary salt is a 100% natural product obtained by evaporation of mineral springs in Karlovy Vary. Compared to ordinary kitchen or sea salt, it contains a variety of minerals and trace elements that naturally support the health of the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract. Rinsing the nose and gargling with a solution of Carlsbad salt helps remove impurities, allergens, viruses and bacteria, relieve swelling and inflammation, and regenerate irritated tissues.
How is Karlovy Vary salt different from regular salt?
Carlsbad salt is not just sodium chloride (NaCl), but a complex mixture of minerals that have a proven effect on health.
