A Medical Breakthrough – Wash Your Nose

Nasal Hygiene

Washing your nose is as important as washing hands. The nose is the gateway to the lungs. Your nose accumulates mucus, dust, bacteria, viruses, and fungi. So your nose is an ideal environment for germs and sickness. It’s important to clean your nose daily.  Keep it clean and clear of germs and contaminants with Xlear.

Sinus rinsing, using a saline solution of salt and water, can be beneficial for those with allergies and sinus and nasal diseases. It moisturizes the nose while flushing out allergens and mucus. A nasal irrigation is a method for gently flushing out impurities in nasal passages such as mucus, pus and scabs that may naturally occur after a nasal or sinus operation. It can be effective at relieving nasal congestion or sneezing.

Nasal irrigation (nasal rinsing) is the passing of water or saline solution through the nasal passages. Nasal irrigation has occurred for many years as it can form part of a religious or traditional cleansing practice. Saline nasal sprays are like a saltwater rinse for your nasal passages. Germs and irritants enter your nose when you breathe. Your nose produces mucus to flush them out. Saline sprays act like mucus, flushing out irritating substances before they cause inflammation. They can also help flush out excess mucus. Over-the-counter saline sprays and rinses can help remove pollen from the nasal lining. People often use them at the end of the day. You can also use these sprays to add moisture if your nose feels dry from winter weather.
