NEUS FLUSH
You flush your nose, sinuses and sinuses with saline water. With a nasal rinse, you flush away excess mucus, bacteria, pus and pollen. This prevents dirt from settling in your nasal mucosa. This reduces the risk of infections and diseases. The saline helps restore your mucous membrane and makes it easier to breathe.
Nasal douche is a device that contains a lot of water (at least 240ml, for children 120ml) that you use to flush your nose, sinuses and sinuses under low water pressure. It literally goes in one nostril and out the other. You don't feel anything because you use lukewarm (body warm) water and mix it with nasal rinse salts that have a pharmaceutically pure quality tailored to the human body. Prof. Dr. W.J. Fokkens, an ENT specialist at the Amsterdam UMC has done important scientific research on this. What is important is the large amount of water and squirting that water through your nose and nasal cavities with light force. In doing so, you flush away dirt, mucus, crusts and other debris so that it doesn't have a chance to damage the mucous membrane in your nose and sinuses. That's why rinsing your nose is part of any ENT treatment plan for nasal disorders.
In the acute phase, it is important to rinse your nose at least 2 to 4 times a day. You flush away excess mucus and dirt and give the mucous membrane a chance to recover. The acute phase is when you experience symptoms.
Preventively, it is good for everyone to rinse your nose once or twice a day. That prevents problems. "Make it a daily hygienic act, just like brushing your teeth," says ENT doctor Fokkens.
ENT DOCTORS:
Rinse your nose!
ENT doctors recommend the NeilMed nasal douche, which is available through NasoMed. This is the only nasal rinse bottle in which you can squeeze very easily, making it easy to flush the saline solution through your nasal cavities. By squeezing harder or softer, you control the strength of the water jet. The NeilMed nasal shower It is also the only one with a special cap that you place against your nostril, unlike other products where you insert a nozzle or protrusion into your nose at the risk of damaging the nasal wall. For people who have difficulty pinching, there is the electric nasal shower called Sinugator which itself provides a constant jet of water.
Use active nasal rinsing
Rhinos or horn are also often called a nasal douche, even by the manufacturers , but that is incorrect. A rhino or horn rinse is a so-called passive nasal rinse because it works with gravity: the water runs into your nose, but does not rinse thoroughly. If it finds obstacles in its path, such as a blocked nose, it will not flow any further. The NeilMed nasal douche is an active nasal rinse because it sprays water under light pressure through your nose and cavities (by squeezing or electrically), effectively flushing out dirt, crusts and mucus and removing blockages. According to ENT doctor Prof. Dr. Fokkens, you can compare a rhinoceros or other horn to washing your hands with water that you gently run over your hands. This suits a yoga lifestyle, for example, but hardly removes any dirt. Only a strong jet of water can loosen and wash away dirt. This is why Dr. Fokkens and others recommend ENT doctors and teaching hospitals That you rinse your nose with a nasal douche from NeilMed, available from Nasomed.
