Could seawater be the answer for allergic rhinitis?
Whether it’s; a seasonal allergy such as hayfever, an
ongoing allergy to house dust or chronic rhinitis, the reaction to airborne allergens causes distressing symptoms for thousands, worldwide.
As always with allergies, reducing the contact in the first instance is the best course of action.
Current treatments include antihistamine pills, decongestants and traditional saline drops but there’s a new nasal seawater spray called ‘Stérimar’ that offers a natural solution to sufferers of all ages.
Stérimar is a longstanding product first launched in France in 1975 and now available worldwide. It harnesses the cleansing power of sea water, which also contains trace elements well known for their health benefits. Stérimar’s microdiffusable spray rinses the nose with a physiological seawater solution to clear, moisturise and, flush out allergens. Clinical trials have shown the advantages of Stérimar in the management of chronic rhinosinutus and it’s also widely recommended by ENT surgeons for its post operative benefits.
Stérimar are proud supporters of National Allergy Week 2007
‘We frequently receive requests from members of the public for a natural product to ease their nasal Hayfever symptoms. Stérimar is a product which is recommended by experts to reduce the irritants within the nose. It makes sense that washing our nasal passages will help particularly if we are allergic to pollen and air borne allergens.’ Muriel Simmons, Allergy UK
‘As a pharmacist, I recommend Sterimar as a safe, natural way to cleanse the nasal passages and remove small particles from the nose. Suitable for children and adults, Sterimar is a great hayfever remedy for people who prefer the natural option.’

Stérimar is a great alternative to many over-the-counter allergy remedies which may have undesirable side effects such as drowsiness. Because it’s totally natural it can be used by the entire family from babies to adults. Recommended by ENT specialists and backed by extensive clinical trials visit www.sterimar.com for more details.
Why Wash Your Nose
The nose and nasal membranes have an important role. The inside of the nose is lined with moist mucous membranes and tiny hairs, which warm up the air we breathe in. However, when the nose is too dry, congested, or foreign substances (such as bacteria, dust or allergens) become trapped, the nose cannot function properly. This is where Stérimar comes in.
What is Stérimar?
Stérimar is a nasal spray made from pure sea water that gently moisturises and clears nasal passage to help healthy breathing. It’s a totally natural, non-drug solution enriched with minerals and trace elements and can be used by the whole family.
How Stérimar Works
Stérimar delivers a measured micro-fine spray to safely cleanse the whole nasal cavity. It’s unique nozzle fits any size nostril, from babies to adults and works in whatever position it’s held in. Easy to use, simply insert into the nostril and press the base of the nozzle.
Whether for everyday hygiene and wellbeing or for specific conditions, Stérimar can help:
