Breathing made easy without medication
A novel therapy that clears the sinuses: pressure and flow oscillations, induced by a clever little device, effectively loosen mucous blockages in the nasal cavity.
One often wonders why some inventions haven't been made earlier. This also applies to the nasal Cornet (RC-Cornet®-N) - a portable aid for every sufferer of bunged up sinuses. By pure physical action, i.e. without medication, the device helps to ventilate the sinuses, remove excessive mucous and stimulates lymph drainage.
How does it work? The nosepiece of the device is simply inserted in one nostril while the index finger is used to close the other nostril. Breathing out through the Cornet induces vibrations in a flexible rubber hose that open up blockages and loosen mucous. The vibrations also massage the mucosal lining of the sinuses which helps to increase the local blood circulation and vitalises the cilia - the little hairs that form part of the body's natural mucous clearance mechanism.
Train your airways:
Regular use (2-3 times daily) for 2 minutes in each nostril trains the mucosa of the upper airways. This is particularly recommended for people with chronic inflammation of the sinuses, which are 22% of all woman and 15% of all men aged between 45 and 64 according to recent studies. The constantly increased production of mucous can cause symptoms like catarrh, bad breath, a blocked nose, swollen eyes, feeling “bunged up”, throat problems and being in a generally irritable mood.
Blockages of the eustachian tube are also a commonly encountered problem. The tube is an important ventilation channel that connects the nose and the ear. Blockages can manifest themselves in the form of severe pain while flying in an aircraft, during sudden changes of weather conditions and while diving. The nasal Cornet also helps to reduce swelling and mucous build up in the eustachian tube so that the ventilation of the sinuses via the tube can function properly.
