Xylitol-based
Xlear (pronounced "clear") is a patented, non-addictive nasal wash
designed to help relieve irritation caused by pollutants, allergens and
infections of the nasal passages. It is the ONLY
nasal wash that combines the unique properties of the natural substance,
XYLITOL, and the health-promoting practice of a saline nasal spray to
help wash, hydrate and moisturize the nasal passages. Xylitol is among
bacteria's natural enemies. When certain harmful bacteria enter the
body, they attach to the membranes of the nose and throat. Bacteria and
germs are all around us. They live on the surfaces that we touch and in
the air that we breathe. With germs and bacteria all around us, how do
we prevent them from entering our bodies?
The
Center for Disease Control has stated that, "Hand washing is the most
effective way of reducing communicable disease." We wash our hands to
clean them and we are also cautioned to keep our hands away from our
mouth and nose, but more than ninety percent of infection causing
bacteria enter the body through the nose and thrive in the nasal
passages. How do we keep our nasal passages clean and free of harmful
germs? Xylitol is one of bacteria's natural
enemies. When certain harmful bacteria enter the body, they attach to
the membranes of the nose and throat. Xlear Nasal Wash merely flushes
harmful bacteria away.
Ingredients: Contains xylitol, purified water, saline and grapefruit seed extract.
Suggestions for Use:
With
head in an upright position, seal off the nasal passage by pressing
your finger against one side of your nose. Close your mouth and give the
bottle a quick, firm squeeze, inhaling deeply to pull the mist into the
sinus cavities. Do this once for each nostril. For infants or young
children, have the child lie down and place two drops of Xlear Nasal
Wash in each nostril.
For
the first 2 to 4 weeks of Xlear Nasal Wash usage, adults and children
should administer it 3 to 4 times a day. After the 1st month, it should
be used twice a day as a preventative measure. For infants and small
children who are in day care or exposed to infectious bacteria, Xlear
Nasal Wash should be administered 3 to 4 times a day.
