Are you or your children suffering from spring allergies? Due to the state of the economy and high cost of prescription medications allergy sufferers are going to have a difficult time controlling their symptoms this year.
The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology stated that from 2000 to 2005, the cost of treating allergic rhinitis almost doubled from $6.1 billion to $11.2 billion. How would you like to cut your cost for allergy medications down?
There is an inexpensive and effective alternative to prescription medications. Washing with a saline solution, or nasal irrigation has been practiced for hundreds of years and is proven to control nasal allergy symptoms. This is a personal hygiene practice that involves flooding the nasal cavity with warm saline solution. This soothing action removes excess mucus and moisturizes the nasal cavity. Diane G. Heatley, M.D created the SinuCleanse line, a saline irrigation system helps allergy sufferers.
Traditionally nasal irrigation has been conducted with a neti pot. This works great for adults, but can be very difficult for children. Last year Dr. Heatley, a pediatric otolaryngologist from Madison, Wisconsin developed SinuCleanse Kids Mist. If used regularly (at least once a day) this product is effective in controlling children's nasal allergies, runny noses, and sinus congestion.
SinuCleanse Kids Mist is made with 100% natural ingrediants, is pre-measured and safe for newborns to children 12 years old. I tried the kids mist with my two little ones. My three year old suffers from nasal allergies and this has helped to clear her nose and control her symptoms.
