The nose is an amazing structure working hard for us every hour of the day. Being the organ that enables us to smell, it also acts as a filter for cleaning, moistening and warming up the air we breathe in. As such the nose acts as the first line of defense against inhaled invaders.
In all cases of daily life the nose must be cleaned out of infectious agents, allergens and irritants.
When irritants or allergens, such as pollen and dust enter the nose, the tiny hairs that line the passageways are meant to propel them to the back of the throat to be swallowed and destroyed by stomach acid.
In addition, problematic molecules are detected by the body’s defense system, and in some people this triggers specific cells of the immune system (“mast cells” and “basophils”) start producing chemicals such as histamine to fight the invader. Production of histamine brings about an inflammatory response where the lining of the nose becomes irritated and increases the production of mucus leading to a runny nose, itching and coughing or sneezing.
What about importance?
Regular daily nasal irrigation (also called nasal washing, nasal douche, sinus rinsing, sinus lavage, and sinus irrigation) with solutions that have the same concentration of salts as the human body (isotonic solution) – helps to keep the lining of the nose clean and ready for action. Clearing nasal passages diminishes nasal congestion and helps to prevent the presence of viruses and bacteria.
Regular daily nasal irrigation helps to balance the right and left nostrils and hence the corresponding brain hemispheres. Use of nasal irrigation has a cooling and soothing effect that can alleviate anxiety and depression and overall supports the creation of a state of balance and harmony in the brain.
NORMARIN DAILY - the best choice for the daily nasal hygiene.
