Nose-Troubles, Rhinitis, Sinusitis & Snoring - How German Technology Gives Hope for Thousands of Sufferers
by Jon Spendler

It had been a short but tiring trip and whilst flying back from Germany in a Boeing 747 I noticed the large number of people sneezing and coughing. The next day I got up later than usual and missed one of my daily hygiene routines - Nasal Irrigation - and, oh boy, would I have to suffer the consequences the following morning. And I did: my nose was blocked, my eyes achy and watery, my head thumping. I was certain I had caught a rhinovirus on the plane, which millions of us catch each year, and was now suffering from 'acute coryza', also known as the common cold.

If only I had stuck to my routine and used the EMCUR™ Nasal Douche to irrigate my nose. Why irrigate your nose you may ask. The simple answer is to prevent, stop or control the suffering from a number of nasal and sinus conditions.

Scientifically, the local treatment of the nasal mucosa is an important therapeutic concept in the treatment of illnesses of the upper respiratory tract. Its purpose is generally to support or reactivate the self-cleansing mechanism of the mucosa, to decrease the mucosal swelling and to reduce the airway resistance in the nose. For the vast majority of inflammatory illnesses of the upper respiratory tract, a treatment involving simple nasal care with steam inhalations, non-irritating nasal drops and nasal irrigations will suffice.

Of these, nasal irrigations represent a very effective form of treatment.
Irrigating the main nasal cavity leads to an intensive mechanical cleansing of the mucous membrane. Trapped and partially dried secretion, as well as the bulk of secretion which occurs during inflammatory illnesses, are gently loosened and rinsed out of the nasal cavity. Because of this cleansing procedure, present chemical and microbiological contaminants are quickly eliminated and their efficacy diminished or completely blocked. The epithelial cells of the nasal mucous membrane underneath can regenerate and resume their normal cleansing function.

Nasal irrigations have been recommended for 18 years in Germany, and the introduction of the EMCUR™ Nasal Douche & Nasal Irrigating Salt in the UK allow sufferers from various sinonasal diseases to treat and control their conditions with a natural product themselves. The beauty of the EMCUR™ Nasal Douche is that it is made of a special durable plastic and can be sterilised in boiling hot water. Only one sachet of EMCUR™ Nasal Irrigating Salt is required for making an isotonic irrigation solution which will be balanced to the mineral substance of the blood. Depending on the symptoms of the sufferer, irrigations can be carried out as often as they like.
The EMCUR™ Nasal Douche & Nasal Irrigating Salt are registered Class 1 Medical Devices and are used by thousands of sufferers for a wide spectrum of nasal and sinus conditions such as congestion, dry or runny nose, sinusitis, rhinitis, hayfever, snoring, polyps. The products are drug-free and can be used by pregnant women or children.
