In BNM, we employ a number of product developers working on the development of existing techniques and the introduction of new devices to meet the growing demands of hospitals and home users. Our innovative team searches for natural care and healing methods that could be potentially used in many fields of health care without side effects. BNM researchers and developers are working on establishing new methods that may open a new chapter in health promotion and disease prevention.

2 History Salt therapy Salt therapy, the ancient treatment is based on speleoteraphy, ie. treatments in salt caves and salt mines. Monks, in the Middle Ages, took the ill into the salt caves where they could breath in the tiny salt particles created during the mining of salt stalactites It is an ancient treatment to cure, soothe and treat respiratory disorders Salt therapy became popular in Europe in the 19th century to treat asthma and pneumonia Scientific researches to prove the affectivity of salt began in The results of these researches provided the scientific basis of the then established speleotherapy, which lead to the widespread use of salt therapy There is a growing number of patients to treat every year in climate sanatoriums based on natural climate environments Therefore, there is an ever growing waiting list for appointments in climate sanatoriums The distance between these sanatoriums and the patient s home can also be an obstacle in the way to appropriate treatment Negative effects of our living environment: Air pollution means a constant irritation to our respiratory system. Polluted air in the cities lead to an increased number of people suffering from respiratory disorders. Allergies are considered nation-wide diseases all around the world Saltinhaler brings the curing effect of salt mines to your home

3 BNM Saltinhaler SALTINHALER IS A CLINICALLY TESTED MEDICAL DEVICE CLASS II/A Porcelain pipe The pipe can be cleaned and sterilised, is hygienic BNM Saltinhaler contains a bag of salt crystals form the mines of the Transylvanian Praid It can be used for 1 years The bag can be replaced and refilled 100% ORGANIC NATURAL ACTIVE SUBSTANCES It helps breathing and facilitates natural recovery.

BNM salt therapy is recommended for: Respiratory disorders Symptoms of asthma and allergy Krupp Whooping cough Snoring Chronic obstructive lung diseases Hay fever The common cold IT IS SAFE TO USED BY CHILDREN FORM AGE 2.5!

4 Statistics Asthma More than 30 million people in Europe have asthma and as many as 6 million of these people suffer severe symptoms (EFA). In Europe it affects 10% of children. Allergy More than 115 million European citizens suffer from allergic rhinitis and allergic rhinitis often remains under diagnosed (EFA). COPD Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the most common chronic diseases and leading cause of death in the EU, that affects almost 4-10% of all adults in European countries (EFA). More than 64 million people suffer from COPD (WHO, 2004). Approximately to people die each year in Europe because of COPD, and among respiratory diseases,it is the leading cause of lost work days (European Lung Foundation).

5 Smoking More than 100 million people are daily smokers in the EU ( about 28% of the EU population smoke, including 29 % of young Europeans aged 15-24). Compared to the rest of the world, the WHO European Region has one of the highest proportions of deaths attributable to tobacco. Air pollution Epidemiologic studies show that environmental factors play a considerable part in the manifestation of respiratory diseases, including an increase of asthma and allergic diseases. The environmental harms are especially critical in cities where the levels of population a nd transport density are highest.

6 Medical experience Saltinhaler is a clinically proven medicinal device! It is currently used at several health centres: Dr. Kósnai Dél-Pesti Health Center Bertha Health Center Dr. Székely Margit and her colleagues tested the salt pipe on 500 patients suffering from asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Summary of the research: Doctors noticed significant improvement in breathing, a reduction in the amount of mucus The number of night time chokes dropped or sometimes stopped entirely Easier breathing is an improvement in the living standards

7 Business results BNM Saltinhaler Saltinhaler is a clinically tested medical device class II/a It was launched on 13 October 2009 Over sold pipes all around the world Outstanding results in both clinical and home application
