Product description The respiratory tract is lined with a mucous membrane, which ensures full functional ability of the respiratory organs. Glandular cells and so-called ciliary hair (cilia) are embedded in the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract. The glandular cells produce a liquid (secretion), which warms and moistens the air that is breathed in (approx. 10 000 litre daily) and, at the same time, absorbs dust, dirt, germs etc. The cilia are in constant motion and transport absorbed foreign particles, as like on a conveyor belt, back out or – via the throat – to the stomach. When the mucous membranes dry out, their natural protective function is no longer ensured. Nisita contains the salts sodium chloride and sodium bicarbonate. The salt content is tailored to the needs of the nasal mucous membrane and aids the regeneration thereof. Sodium and chloride are responsible, being major ions, for maintaining osmotic pressure and therefore various bodily functions. Owing to their hygroscopic effect, they create a moist environment in the nose. As a buffer system, sodium bicarbonate keeps the pH faintly alkaline, thus enabling the cilia to function properly. The functions of the nasal mucous membrane are thus ideally boosted. The cleaning function of the mucous membrane is aided. Existing crusts and scabs are gently softened. Symptoms such as itching, burning and sneezing are able to be alleviated. Thanks to the liquefying effect of Nisita Nasal Ointment and Nasal Spray, stubborn secretion is able to drain off more easily and nasal breathing is improved.

A dry nose is a frequently occurring problem It not only affects all age groups, but can crop up at any time of the year. Possible causes include side effects from specific drugs, heated and air-conditioned rooms, dust or other irritants, which can lead to desiccation of the nasal mucous membrane. When the nose reacts allergically... In the case of allergic rhinitis, a distinction is made between seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay-fever, pollinosis), which occurs primarily during spring and summer, perennial allergic rhinitis (e.g. house dust mite allergy) and occupational allergic rhinitis. Allergic rhinitis has been on the increase in the last few years. Various reasons are being discussed as being the reason for this, including better hygiene, an increase in the aggressiveness of harmful allergens as well as changes in living habits. An allergy is an excessive defence reaction of the immune system to specific and normally harmless environmental substances, which manifests itself in typical processes triggered by inflammatory processes. These lead to the release of various substances, e.g. histamine, which plays a central role in allergic reactions in humans.When the nose wants to get away from depending on nasal sprays... There are many nasal sprays and ointments, which reduce swelling of the nasal mucous membrane and unblock the nose as a result. The long-term or permanent use of these products, however, can dry the nasal mucous membrane out: it swells up again in order to increase blood circulation. Nasal breathing is restricted and the nose becomes "blocked". If this blocked nose is then treated again with the decongestant, a vicious circles begins and the nose becomes dependent on the product. This is known as rhinitis medicamentosa. The nasal mucous membrane gets drier and more irritated and can suffer permanent damage as a result.The only way out of this vicious circle is withdrawal.
