CARE FOR THE NOSE

PHYSIOMER

Daily cleansing is recommended to help infants breathe more easily. It is also an effective preventive method from ENT complications (otitis, pharynx and bronchi). Physiomer Baby range offers babies day-to-day nasal hygiene, as well as prevention and treatment. These products relieve symptoms and at the same time also protect the respiratory system.

Physiomer Baby Nasal Aspirator has an ultra-soft nozzle tip specially designed by paediatricians for delicate noses, and fitted with a safety neck to ensure there is no risk of injury to the baby. It also makes the nasal cleansing process gentler and child-friendly.

It can be used 4-6 times daily to clear nasal fossae and restore breathing through the nose in cases of cold, rhinopharyngitis, bronchiolitis and other forms of rhinitis. If your baby has a stuffy nose, use hourly as soon as the first signs of congestion appear.

Physiomer’s natural treat and repair solution can:

  • Aid repair and healing of nasal mucous membrane damaged by the cold virus
  • Increase mucociliary clearance and airway permeability
  • Help to control inflammatory response

In contrast to normal saline or other seawater-based isotonic specialities which only contains 30% seawater, Physiomer contains 100% seawater collected off the bay of Saint-Malo Bay, France. It also contains 80 minerals and trace elements with proven effects on the cells of the nasal mucosa. The production meets the same requirements as those for the production of medicines. The final solution has a salt concentration (isotonic solution) identical to that found in the human body.

Physiomer helps to effectively soothe all cold symptoms by providing the minerals required for the regeneration of respiratory mucosa. Physiomer cleanses, evacuates secretions and decongests the nose in case of colds. It is a non-drug product that is safe and effective.

CARE FOR THE NOSE

RHINACTION

Colds are the most common infection in humans. It is characterized by sneezing, nasal congestion, a burning sensation in the nose, throat irritation, fever and headaches. For the first few days, the nasal mucosa is inflamed, the nose is blocked, then starts running and the throat becomes painful. Colds usually clear up by themselves in about a week.

Although generally harmless, colds can cause unpleasant symptoms such as runny or blocked nose, resulting in tiredness, irritability and inconvenience. Rhinaction can help treat these symptoms quickly. It prevents the spread of infection by eliminating viruses and bacteria from the nasal cavities. It is also involved in the regeneration of the injured nasal mucosa, thus, allowing a quicker cure.

RHINaction is formulated without corticosteroid, vasoconstrictor, and preservatives. It does not dry the nasal mucosa nor does it create a rebound effect after use. It also contains Ravintsara essentials oils known for their antiviral and antibacterial properties in respiratory infections.

Drugs that are traditionally used to treat colds contain vasoconstrictors which can narrow blood vessels, posing risks such as cardiovascular risk in case of overdose. A good alternative is RHINaction which decongests the nose, clears secretions, sanitises and purifies by eliminating excess mucus and pathogens, safely.

CARE FOR THE EARS

Earwax (cerumen) is produced by glands in the ear canal. It lubricates, cleans and protects the lining of the ear canal. Slightly acidic, earwax has antibacterial properties, without which, the ear would become dry, waterlogged and prone to infection. Hearing loss can occur when the wax is pushed back towards the eardrum. In fact, ear wax is the most common cause of temporary hearing loss.

Semi-liquid consistency earwax is typically found in children and babies. Solid and hard consistency earwax is found mainly in adults and the elderly.

If too much earwax builds up and becomes hard, it can form a plug that blocks the ear. Discomfort associated with excess earwax are earache, ear infection, ear itchiness, feeling of fullness in the ear, dizziness, ringing in the ear, or vertigo. Therefore, it is important to have proper ear hygiene.

Cotton buds can damage fragile tissues inside the ears and even cause an infection. They often push wax further into the ear. Audiclean, which uses only naturally-sourced ingredients, is a safer and gentler way to clean your ears at home or to maintain general ear health.

Audiclean should not be used by the following persons or persons with these conditions without seeking professional/ medical advise:

  • A history of ear problems
  • Pain or discharge from the ear
  • Perforation of the eardrum
  • If grommets have been inserted

CARE FOR THE SKIN

Warts and verrucas are the most common types of skin infections. They are harmless growth in the top layer of the skin caused by the human papilloma-virus (HPV). The virus stimulates the skin cells to multiply rapidly. They are very contagious and treatment should commence immediately to prevent them from spreading.

Warts are usually found on the hands, elbows and knees, and are recognised by the rough ‘cauliflower-like’ appearance on the surface. Verrucas are similar but mainly appear on the soles, heels or toes and tend to be flatter in appearance, sometimes covered by calloused skin.

About 50% of warts and verrucas disappear within two years without any treatment.

As these growths are caused by a virus, the body will eventually build up resistance after some time and this will cause them to disappear in months or even years. However, warts and verrucas are contagious and are likely to spread to other areas of the body or other people. This is why they should ideally be treated immediately.

Warts can be annoying while verrucas can be painful due to the pressure from walking. Treatments can reduce the chances of them spreading, hence it is advisable to treat them at the onset. Moreover, warts can be embarrassing, affect a person’s appearance and cause lower self-confidence.

  • Removing warts on areas of thin or sensitive skin such as face, neck, armpits, breasts, buttocks or genitals.
  • During pregnancy or breastfeeding.
  • Irritated skin, or any area that is infected, reddened or showing signs of inflammation, such as itching or swelling.
  • Dark moles, dark-coloured, hairy or otherwise unusual looking skin conditions which resemble warts.
  • Warts on children under the age of 4.

If part remains two weeks after application, users may safely apply for a second or third time. For remover of wart/verruca bigger than 7.5mm, it is advisable to seek professional / medical help.
