What is STÉRIMAR®?STÉRIMAR® nasal spray solution is a preservative-free, natural, isotonic seawater solution with minerals and trace elements. It is an ideal nasal cleansing solution which safely and efficiently cleanses the nasal passages without harming the nasal mucosa. It is safe and effective for daily nasal hygiene, and as preventative therapy for colds, allergic rhinitis or sinusitis, or in a polluted environment, making breathing more comfortable. STÉRIMAR® is ideal for the entire family and can be safely used in babies, children and during pregnancy.
The health properties of seawaterSeawater is rich in minerals and trace elements. Trace elements contained in seawater are essential for our overall health and wellbeing as they contribute towards the fight against tiredness, stressful conditions, and infectious diseases. The seawater used in STÉRIMAR® is collected in deep waters off the coast of Northern France. After collection it is filtered, diluted and microbiologically controlled to produce an aseptic seawater solution, without preservatives.
The nose and the importance of nasal hygieneThe nose and the nasal mucosa have an important role to play in breathing. They moisten and warm inhaled air, preparing it for the body before it enters the lungs. Cilia (tiny hairs) lining the mucosa filter inhaled air, preventing airborne particles such as dust, microbes, pollution and smoke from entering into the lungs. When the filtering action of the cilia is insufficient, the cells of the nasal mucosa produce mucus, a sticky liquid that traps impurities. By conditioning and filtering the air, the nose acts as the body's first line of defence against external particles that are potentially dangerous to our body. If the nose is too dry and congested, it cannot function properly, increasing our vulnerability to colds, allergic rhinitis and sinusitis. STÉRIMAR®, a natural seawater nasal spray solution, helps the nose to function properly by clearing secretions and restoring moisture to the nasal mucosa, so as to optimise breathing through the nose.
The benefits of using of STÉRIMAR®
Nasal Hygiene
Daily nasal hygiene by simple cleansing with STÉRIMAR® helps the nose to function properly, by clearing secretions and restoring moisture to the nasal mucosa, so as to optimise breathing through the nose. Good nasal hygiene consists of cleansing the nose at least first thing in the morning and last thing at night, then blowing the nose with a tissue.
Humidification of the Nasal Mucosa
Air conditioning and dry hot climates can result in very dry air entering the nasal passages. This can cause dryness and discomfort of the nasal mucosa. Nasal cleansing with STÉRIMAR® will help to restore moisture to the nasal mucosa and counteract the dryness.
Babies
During the first few months of their lives, babies breathe mostly through their noses. STÉRIMAR® Baby offers the perfect solution for babies’ nasal cleaning because it is specially designed for their tiny, delicate nostrils. It’s gently pressurised spray doesn’t hurt babies’ noses and efficiently cleanses their nasal passages to make breathing and bottle feeding easier.
Children
Just as children learn to walk, so they should learn to blow their noses. Nasal cleansing with STÉRIMAR® assists children with the process of learning to blow their noses. A spray of STÉRIMAR® into each nostril gently cleanses the nasal passages, thereby preventing nasal secretions from being sniffed into the back of the throat where they could cause ENT problems.
Pregnancy
Many women suffer from nasal congestion during pregnancy, making it difficult to breathe comfortably. STÉRIMAR® is a perfectly safe and natural product that will provide relief without causing any harm to the unborn baby.
Allergies
The gentle cleansing action of STÉRIMAR® provides perceptible relief and helps make breathing easier in allergy sufferers. Daily use helps to clear the nose of irritants and foreign particles such as pollen and dust mites etc. that are known to cause allergies. The trace element manganese found in STÉRIMAR® may provide some relief from allergies.
Before Medication
STÉRIMAR® cleanses the nasal mucosa to facilitate and optimise the action of prescribed nasal treatments such as antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and antihistamines.
Sport
STÉRIMAR® clears and humidifies the nasal passages, optimising breathing through the nose which is important for athletic performance.
Snoring
STÉRIMAR® may not eliminate snoring completely, but it can certainly make an appreciable difference. Snoring is often caused by unwanted vibrations of the soft palate, particularly in older people whose nasal mucosa has a tendency to dry out. Used at bedtime, STÉRIMAR® cleanses and humidifies the nasal mucosa thereby facilitating easier breathing through the nose, which can only contribute positively to reducing the amount of snoring.
Travel
STÉRIMAR® may help to alleviate the unpleasant sensation of blocked ears during air travel. A gentle spray of STÉRIMAR® in each nostril is recommended during take-off and landing to provide relief from the unpleasant sensation of blocked ears. STÉRIMAR® is available in a handy 50 ml pocket size, which is easy to carry on-board.
Post Operative Nasal Cleansing
Many ENT’s favour the use of STÉRIMAR® postoperatively. The unique non-return valve ensures that the product remains sterile, while the micro-fine spray cleanses the nasal cavities gently and effectively. The presence of the trace element copper in STÉRIMAR® can assist in the prevention of secondary infections.
Pollution
Daily cleansing of the nasal passages with STÉRIMAR® effectively removes foreign bodies such as dust, soot, and smoke etc. from the nasal passages thereby preventing irritation of the nasal mucosa.
