It’s cold and allergy season again! And for 119 million US households that are affected that means runny noses, congestion and sinus problems.
While many people find relief using over-the-counter and prescription drugs, they might not realize that something as simple as natural steam can have a profound effect on their respiratory symptoms. We’ve all heard the “old wives’ tales”…hold your baby in the bathroom with the hot shower running if they’re congested; use a humidifier to alleviate cold and sinus issues…but it’s actually proven science! The warm mist opens sinuses by thinning secretions as it hydrates and soothes irritated tissues. No drugs are needed, making it an all-natural and safe decongestant.
But while even doctors agree that steam inhalation is effective in treating some of the most common respiratory conditions, using steam and steam devices like humidifiers can be impractical (who can really stand in a hot steam shower 4x/day?), germ-prone, and sometimes pose a burn risk, particularly for children.
Now, using FDA approved technology, the NEW MyPurMist™ handheld steam inhaler is reinventing this old remedy in a completely new way -- the world’s first instant, effective, safe and handheld approach to steam and humidification therapy. MyPurMist makes using steam practical and easy for those seeking a natural remedy for their cold and allergy symptoms.
MyPurMist provides instant relief for cold, allergy, and sinus symptoms via a simple handheld device that requires virtually no preparation, mess, cleanup or maintenance. It delivers instant temperature controlled steam in a germ-free environment, with no risk of scalding like other devices. That means it’s good for kids, too!
Better still, 100% of people who have purchased and used MyPurMist will recommend it to others. If you would like to try it out for yourself, you can get $20 off MyPurMist by entering the code 1005 at checkout. This offer is valid through 3/1/12

For about a year now I've been flushing my sinuses with a NeilMed squeeze bottle (solution of one NeilMedPacket and a little Alkalol) and using the MyPurMist inhaler regularly (down to once or twice a day now).
ReplyDeleteHaven't been bothered by allergies since I started this routine. I think keeping the pollens, etc out of your sinuses is the key. Click here to read more details about my experiences with the MyPurMist steam inhaler.
