What is Breathe Ease XL used for?
The nose is supposed to moisten inhaled air, helping to maintain a moist environment for nasal and sinus cilia.
Any dryness, itching, or crusting in
the nose means that a moisturizer is needed for the nose to do it's job. Saline
had always been considered the most common, safe, and simple such moisturizer.
Today we know that the preservatives that must be added to insure a long long
shelf life can be harmful or irritating to the nose, especially when the nose
is irritated already . Here is a partial list of the additives and preservatives:
|
|
|
| Benzalkonium | Benzyl Alcohol |
| Thimerosal (Merthiolate) | Edetate Disodium |
| MonoBasic Sodium Phosphate | Providone |
| DiBasic Sodium Phosphate | Disodium ETA |
| Potassium Phosphate Monobasic | Iodine |
| Phenylcarbinol | Sodium Silicoaluminate |
So it is important to avoid any of these preservatives that might irritate an already sore nose. So Breathe Ease was developed as a means of providing a solution for the dry irritated nose.
The purpose of our enhanced nasal moisturizing formula is to
maintain normal, healthy cilia function, and comfortable, clear breathing through
moistening and cleansing the nose and sinuses. Breathe Ease XL is
more than just plain saline. Breathe Ease XL contains other ingredients
to make it a gentle nasal and sinus moisturizer. It contains no preservatives
or additives that might burn or sting. There is no discomfort when using Breathe Ease XL!
Breathe Ease XL is specially designed for use by children - it is designed to be the most gentle product of its kind.
For use with the Grossan Hydro Pulse.
Experience has shown that when the Breathe Ease XL
formula is used for pulsatile
sinus irrigation, patients find the best possible maintenance of sinus health
through moisturizing and cleansing. Users get comfortable moisturizing and maintenance
of their sinuses because there is no iodine, preservatives, or silica in the
formula which may cause discomfort. The measuring spoon allows for accurate
measure. Add one teaspoon of Breathe Ease XL to
a pint of water, stir, then use as directed to restore cilia and remove purulent
material.
For Moisturizing Spray:
Using the white
1/4 teaspoon measuring spoon, add 1/4 ounce Breathe Ease XL
formula powder to four ounces of boiled or bottled water. Spray nose as needed.
Change once a week. The spray bottle can be used as a spray, to irrigate directly,
or just for drops
Use of spray:
for kids or adults with colored discharge:
3 to 4x a day.
for kids or adults with nose bleed 3 to 4 x
a day
for dry weather twice a day
for smog days twice or 3x a day
to prevent nose bleeds twice a day
Use of spray bottle to irrigate:
during the pollen season can use the spray
bottle as an irrigator to remove pollen from the nose. Try this 3x a day.
after downtown smog or diesel exposure, irrigate
to remove the particulate matter.
Costs:
Spending four dollars or more plus tax for a penny's worth of
saline solution must discourage a lot of people. With Breathe Ease
you get 150 or more refills of solution, refilling once a week. You use
the 1/4 teaspoon added to four ounces of boiled or bottled water. You can even
save the surplus for further use. So its economic to use for irrigation
with the spray bottle as well.
Measure: For years I worried about mixing the right amounts of saline. One teaspoon can vary enormously, as much as 40 % in one study. Here the teaspoon is exactly measured so there is no mistake.
For use with the Grossan Sinus Irrigator you get over 30 day's supply. With this special formula, and because there are no preservatives, silica, or iodine, many users require less days of irrigation.
Warm Saline
Many doctors tell you to irrigate with a warm nasal solution. Warm solution
helps bring more circulation to the area, and besides, it feels good. Yet, some
solutions with additives can only be used at room temperature.
Fresh
For many of my patients,
once they have opened the store bought saline solution and carried it about
for weeks, they no longer consider it to be fresh and toss it to buy a fresh
bottle. Part of this has to do with the preservatives giving a "smell" kind
of sensation. With Breathe Ease you know its fresh
because you make it every week.
The preservative Benzalkonium Sodium causes problems when used in the nose. It has been found to be a cause of rhinitis medicamentosum. Additive problems are so important that the Dannemiller Memorial Educational Foundation gives special training to doctors on this subject. This training emphasizes that if you are allergic or have an infection, the additives can be especially irritating. More information on problems caused by benzalkonium is readily available in medical literature.
