Xylitol is one of bacteria’s natural enemies. When certain harmful bacteria enter the body, they attach to the membranes of the nose and multiply causing infection. Xylitol moisturizes the nasal passages and prevents the bacteria from sticking, allowing your body to reduce your risk of infection.
The nose protects the body from disease by filtering out bacteria as you breathe through the day. Did you know that on average we touch our noses 250 times per day and 30% of the population carries staph aureus in the nose? The Center for Disease Control has stated that, “Hand washing is the most effective way of reducing communicable disease.” We wash our hands to clean them and we are also cautioned to keep our hands away from our mouth and nose, but more than ninety percent of infection-causing bacteria enter the body through the nose and thrive in the nasal passages.
How do we keep our nasal passages clean and free of harmful germs?
Bacteria and germs are all around us. They live on the surfaces that we touch and in the air that we breathe. With germs and bacteria all around us, how do we prevent them from entering our bodies? Using a nasal cleanser is a great solution. It can help reduce and prevent allergies, congestion, ear infections, sore throats, coughs, and asthma. Nasal cleansers can bring relief during allergy, cold, and flu seasons because it flows through your nasal cavity into the nostril.
Xylitol is a remarkable substance which is all natural and is non-habit-forming. The World Health Organization and the FDA have given xylitol their safest ratings for food additives. Babies and small children can use Xlear Nasal Wash without restriction. Made with Xylitol, Xlear (pronounced “clear”) is a patented, non-addictive nasal wash designed to aid in the relief of sinus irritation caused by pollutants, allergens and infections of the nasal passages. It is the only nasal wash that combines the unique properties of the natural substance, Xylitol, and the health-promoting practice of a saline nasal spray to help wash, hydrate and moisturize the sinus nasal passages.
Xlear Nasal Wash contains xylitol, purified water, saline and also, grapefruit seed as a preservative. Purified water, saline, and grapefruit seed extract (GSE) are found in over-the-counter nasal moisteners that have been used for years. Xylitol is the key ingredient that makes Xlear Nasal Wash so revolutionary and effective.
