Nose Care: 5 Good Habits to Adopt

Small nose? Big nose? Whether or not you like its shape, your nose is very important!

More than just the organ of smell, the nose warms, moistens and cleans air before it enters the lungs. It protects the airway by trapping and removing incoming dirt particles.[1] In short, it is the focal point in respiratory health.
That’s why it’s so important to take good care of your nose.

Do you suffer from sore nose?

With frequent blowing, the nasal mucous membranes may be irritated, the skin is dry and sore. A damaged nose can become embarrassing and unpleasant. To avoid this, here are some tips:

• Choose appropriate and soft handkerchiefs to avoid irritation
• Practice a gentle blowing to respect your nose
• Use a cream to relieve skin irritation. You can for example use Cicadermine®. Apply a thin layer after cleansing the small, irritated area. Repeat as needed up to 3 times a day. For adults and children from 3 years old,  Cicadermine is a Homeopathic medicine used to relieve skin and nasal irritations (chapped skin, surface wounds, redness) and facilitate healing.

And what about the sinuses?

The sinus openings are very small which can cause the drainage to be easily blocked. When this happens it can lead to sinus inflammation and infection.[2]
If you are experiencing any congestion or pain due to sinus inflammation, try Sinusalia! This non-drowsy homeopathic medicine can be taken by adults and children starting from 4 years old.

This homeopathic medicine may not be right for everyone. Always read and follow the label.
