When it comes to nasal washing, what’s the difference between isotonic and hypertonic solutions?

“Iso” means “equal”, “hyper” means “high”,

Isotonic solutions are solutions have equal osmotic pressure due to their equal concentrations.

A hypertonic solution has a higher osmotic pressure when compared to other solutions, since hypertonic solutions have higher concentrations.

An isotonic saline helps to restore moisture to your nasal passages. Due to a lower salt content, isotonic solutions do not draw out excess moisture and mucus like hypertonic solutions do. However, because they are balanced, they are ideal for daily use to rinse away allergens, provide moisture and clean the nasal passages.

The isotonic solution is useful for daily nasal hygiene and in case of allergic rhinitis, sinusitis and colds.

Hypertonic saline solutions have a higher concentration of salt and is useful in cases of severe nasal congestion, chronic sinusitis and for post-operative care.

Our nasal wash kit comes with 30 pre-measured sachets, so you can dissolve one sachet for an (isotonic solution) or two sachets (for a hypertonic solution).

Rapid relief from the symptoms of rhinitis; sinusitis; seasonal colds and allergies.

Our Nasal Spray Forte combines the properties of blackcurrant with aloe vera, mountain pine and tea tree.

The blackcurrant bud derivative, called glycerine macerate, has anti-inflammatory, decongestant and astringent properties. It also helps to create a protective barrier to protect the nasal passages from external irritants.

Recommended by an ever-increasing number of specialist physicians, nasal washing is a practice that involves pouring a hydro-saline solution into the nose, allowing the liquid to flow into one nostril and then letting it pour out from the other.

Studies have shown that nasal irrigation, if performed on a daily basis, makes it easier to cleanse the nasal passages since it helps to eliminate excess mucus, pollen and substances accumulated throughout the day.

In addition, thanks to their ability to expel impurities and keep the nasal passages cleansed and moisturised, nasal washes are a complementary treatment to help relieve the symptoms of allergies, colds and sinusitis.

Otosan Nasal Wash has a unique formulation enriched with Hyaluronic Acid that has moisturising and protective properties for the nasal passages and can help speed up healing after surgery compared to washing with simple saline solution.

Sodium bicarbonate also promotes the breakdown of the bacterial biofilm and helps restore the normal pH of the nasal passages.

Quick and easy to use OTOSAN NASAL WASH Kit comes with an irrigator bottle + 30 pre-dosed sachets, available from pharmacies and health stores.

Hay fever is one of the most common allergies and is caused by our immune systems overreaction to pollen.

🌾 Symptoms include sneezing, itchy eyes, congestion, runny nose and sinus pressure.

🌾 The most common hay fever allergen in Ireland is grass pollen.

🌾 Histamine is produced by the body when it thinks the immune system is under attack.

🌾 For hay fever sufferers the body mistakenly identifies the pollen as a dangerous intruder, this triggers the body to respond causing hay fever symptoms.

🌾 Different types of pollen can affect different people at different times, the three main types are: tree pollen, grass pollen and w**d pollen.

🌾 In Ireland, pollen season usually starts towards the end of January with the release of tree pollen, while grass pollen season usually begins in May although the timing can depend on the weather.

🌾 There are a range of preventative and remedial measures that can be used to combat hay fever. Antihistamines and hay fever medications, eye drops, nasal barrier balms, supplements, herbal remedies, nasal rinses and sprays.

🌾 Some foods are natural antihistamines!

Hay fever can run in families - research has shown that if your parents suffer from allergies such as hay fever, there is an increased likelihood that you could develop hay fever too.

Your defence for allergy season...Nasal washing 👃
