Why not learn to cleanse the nose from a very young age, just as we learn to brush our teeth and wash our hands ?

Why isn’t there such a simple rule of hygiene for the nose ?

The first step in nasal hygiene is : clear the nose

• Blowing the nose is the first method to adopt when you feel your nose is blocked.
• How should this be done ?
  • Blow through each nostril separately, blocking one nostril while the other blows.
  • Use paper tissues (and not cotton hankies) once only to avoid recontamination each time they are re-used. Throw the used tissue into a dustbin: don’t leave it lying around to risk spreading germs.

The second step in nasal hygiene is : cleanse the nose

• Cleanse the nose regularly with an isotonic sea water solution such as STÉRIMAR.
