Happy St. Patrick’s day HealthSmart listeners,

to represent the “green” day, we decided to talk about boogers.  Actually it just happened that way  just like it so happens that the pediatrician who designed the NasoPure Nasal Wash System’s name is Dr. Hana…..as in Hana butter, which in Hawaii means “nose butter” or boogers.  hee hee….love it!!!

So I learned from Dr. Hana that the nose is the body’s personal filter and that nasal issues are the most common reason to go to the doctor.  When a bacteria or a virus enters the nasal cavity, the common cold can start, a flu, or sinusities.  A congested nose can lead to asthma, congestion, post nasal drip and pneumonia.  So by washing out the nasal cavitiy on a daily basis, many ”sick days” may be prevented.

Snoring, breathing problems, and ones sense of taste and smell are also affected by less than desirable nasal inhabitants.

You can visit the Ala Moana Vim N’ Vigor store and see a video demonstration of how the NasoPure works, it’s so easy even a 2 year old can do it.  Always remember to use the pharmaceutical grade, special buffered, isotonic salt that kills bacteria, virus’, and fungus, otherwise plain water will just cause more congestion.

Happy snortings,

Sherrie
