Question
Do you carry any products that may assist in dealing with sinus infections and post nasal drip?
Answer
We carry Breathe-Ease Nasal Spray and Irrigation Solution and Breathe-Ease XL Nasal Wash System. Breathe-Ease is a new moisturizing and irrigation solution for the nose that is both effective and economical. Breathe-ease unique "Ringers-Locke" solution is formulated to approximate the body's natural salinity and electrolyte composition.
This unique formulation is reported in medical journals best for nasal cilia to prevent the nasal cilia from slowing due to infection, allergy, and contagion and more appropriate than regular saline. Breathe-Ease is additive-free, and is as economical as possible.
The spray bottle that is included in the purchase can be used as a spray to irrigate directly, or just as drops. However, usage of this product by patients has shown that better cleaning of sinus infections and post nasal drip is achieved by using with a sinus irrigator.
