Yes, it does. That's what it's suppose to do and it will work if you use it often enough. these are used in hospitals for patients to help them recover. I have had very good results with improving my breathing using this.

No, I have found the amount of salt I add to the unit does not make a difference in the performance of the inhaler. The benefits seemed to be the same. I hope this helps.

Chris S.: I have been using this for a few months now and personally I feel it does work. My experience has been with addressing a panic or anxiety attack already in progress. I begin to tremble when I realize I've lost control. The spray helps me regain that control and sense of ease instantly. I spray, take a couple breaths, and feel better right away. The negative energy is immediately neutralized and I am able to think clearly and continue with life. I have tried it many times since I was skeptical and thought maybe it was all in my head, but it works exactly the same and it works immediately each time. I've never used it and felt that it wasn't working. I think it is a great tool to have in a pinch. Chris S.: I have been using this for a few months now and personally I feel it does work.

We used ours last summer driving through areas of smoke from fires in our crew cab pickup. My husband has asthma and is very sensitive to smoke and it worked great. It also works for pet odors or fumes from traffic. We were very pleased with it and the price was good.

No. It does help clear the air but not for very long. Have not used it directly on fabrics. My neighbors are smokers so I am constantly using carpet deodorizer and odor absorbers along with the product.

I am not the best person to answer this question but I can tell you the thing works. It allows me to breath more easily the method by which it performs this function is beyond me. Allow one more thought, I have been driving since I was 16 and I am now 69 and I still do not understand how the auto actually works however, I do know they both function well!

This product is immediate release and has been helpful with congestion. I have the beginnings of COPD, and this helps to open my airways. Hope these remarks were helpful.

It works both ways, there's resistance both in and out. Usually it's just out but this apparatus is a lung expander and so you the in as well.

Yes it does. According to another reviewer, it's enough to last about a year depending on how often and how long you use it. I really feel it made a big difference with my chest congestion.

Reading the booklet you are trying to work the muscles of breathing to strengthen them! Exhale normal if the Exhale doesn't come out check your valves they maybe in wrong!

This device helps to deep breathe. In order to retrain yourself to belly breathe instead of chest breathe, you probably need to concentrate on the process of breathing until it becomes automatic. This device requires you to spend more effort breathing in and breathing out. This increased effort may help you to focus on the style of breathing.

I think it is a really great unit. I cannot really answer your Question completely, but I do know it does help the Chest area, as well as the upper back. I can feel and see the results. I believe it will help!

I use it for exercising and I must admit not enough. I haven't had to add air since I bought this(many months)

I use it before skiing in high altitudes. I have some lung damage because of being asthmatic all my life and need supplemental oxygen for this sport. I take two puffs when I wake up and again before I leave for the slopes. I carry the small one in my pocket and use it as needed.

Yes, I can truthfully say, it works for me. For years, I've had trouble with stress, but it became intensified after the death of my father in 2007. Breathing exercises and other techniques no longer worked. I heard about this product on the Dr. Oz show and decided to give it a try. I am very pleased with the results. My blood pressure is better and life in general. I highly recommend this product.

It should, plus you should so some squats while taking it also. Those should help
