Travelers - Help Prevent Swine Flu (H1N1) with Neti Pot Sinus Irrigation

Sinus irrigation  (a.k.a., Nasal washing) is a natural treatment for allergies that can help prevent seasonal flu and H1N1 swine flu. In addition, sinus irrigation with a neti pot is safe for pregnant women and young children (two and older). What's more, a recent study found that nasal rinsing is a safe and effective treatment option in pregnant women with seasonal allergic rhinitis.

A clean nose is important for overall health so cleaning your sinuses regularly is a proactive measure towards preventing sickness. Maintaining a clean nose is especially important for travelers because they are exposed to environmental pollution and irritants. The following diagram illustrates how Nasopure's patented neti pot bottle facilitates sinus irrigation with the head in an upright position; which makes it usable in the shower and over the sink.

With regard to the swine flu (H1N1), your nose functions as an external filter and the H1N1 virus can invade the nasal membrane lining causing your body to react to the virus invasion within just a few days. Sinus irrigation can wash away viral particles before they have an opportunity to invade your body's mucosa (i.e., the membrane lining inside your nose). Saline mixes vary in strength and effectiveness but a hypertonic saline solution is recommended for killing virus cell walls by osmosis (i.e., drying up the viral body).

We offer starter kits that include a neti pot bottle and salt packets for up to 20 weeks of use. In addition, we offer a travel kit that includes a four ounce bottle that is valid for passage through airport security.
We sell a traditional neti pot that is BPA free, recyclable, lightweight, and durable (salt not included).

In addition, we offer a bulk set of the neti pot salt packets that can make up to nine months of saline solution that soothes irritated membranes by safely washing away pollen, mold, dust, bacteria, viruses, and mucus. The following salt packets are compatible with all neti pots including Nasopure, Rhino Horn, Nasaline, SinuCleanse, NeilMed, Ayr, and Himalayan.

We endorse sinus irrigation because a healthy, active outdoors lifestyle exposes the nasal passages to environmental irritants such as allergens, viruses, and bacterial organisms. Being outdoors dries the nasal membranes and thickens mucus, both factors contribute to an unhealthy and improper functioning of your personal filter (i.e., your nose). Sinus irrigation is a natural and inexpensive prevention and treatment option for common nose and sinus problems and, thus, it can help you spend more time outdoors connecting with nature and less time stuck indoors surfing the Internet, playing video games, and watching TV. Sinus irrigation is not just for outdoor enthusiasts because it is also recommended for use by travelers, children, construction workers, athletes, performers, singers, seniors, firefighters, farmers, military, and anyone exposed to environmental pollution and irritants.

We wish you safe and healthy travels this holiday season.
