Nasal hygiene with STÉRIMAR ®
STÉRIMAR is the ideal reflex in nasal hygiene for all the family
A BABY CAN’T BLOW HIS NOSE
During the first months of life, a baby breathes mainly through his nose.
The sneezing reflex is not yet strong enough to clear that tiny nose if it is blocked.
STÉRIMAR baby clears baby’s nose, when baby cannot blow himself. This is very important when the classic decongestant remedies cannot be used.
When nursing or bottle feeding, baby’s blocked nose is all the more uncomfortable since he cannot breathe through his mouth. Hence the need to cleanse baby’s nose carefully before each meal.
BABY GETS A COLD
Nasal cleansing is especially important for babies, when they are prone to repeated bouts of rhinopharyngitis.
KIDS AND SNIFFLES
Up to the age of 10 or 12, children run, laugh, play and forget all about blowing their nose. The result is that they sniff a lot and have been known to wipe a nose on a sleeve in the playground !
Just as we learn to walk, so we should learn to blow our nose. Nasal cleansing with STÉRIMAR helps make the process of learning to blow much easier. A « psst » of STÉRIMAR into each nostril, then the product drains away taking the mucus with it. The child learns to « empty » his nostrils, one after the other, so that nasal secretions no longer risk being sniffed into the back of the throat where they could cause ENT problems.
In cases where the nose is particularly severely blocked, your doctor may advise special cleansing techniques. Remember that, whatever the circumstances, STÉRIMAR gently cleanses the nasal passages.
Nasal cleansing : STÉRIMAR ® reflex
Nasal cleansing :

We can all gain from the STÉRIMAR reflex...
AT THE FIRST SIGNS OF A COLD
At the very first signs, STÉRIMAR is the right reflex. Cleansing your nose can prevent secondary infection and avoid bronchial and pulmonary complications.
WARM AND DRY !
Central heating often dries out the ambient air and hence the nasal passages.
A few sprays in the course of the day will help to restore moisture to the nasal mucosa.
AIR-CONDITIONING CONTAGION
Germ alert on all floors! With today’s air conditioned buildings, when Mr. Marin on the 5th floor sneezes, the whole building catches a cold.
A few sprays of STÉRIMAR can help prevent contagion.
WHEN SMOKE GETS UP YOUR NOSE
Sometimes you can’t ask someone to put out their cigarettes or cigars. STÉRIMAR is the most effective solution to restore the nose’s « filter effect ».
BLOW BEFORE BED AND HUMIDIFY THE NASAL MUCOSA
A stuffy nose does not bode well for the quality of sleep of those close to us. The STÉRIMAR reflex may not eliminate snoring completely, but it can certainly make an appreciable difference. Snoring is often caused by unwanted vibrations of the soft palate, particularly in older people whose nasal mucosa has a tendency to dry out.
THUMB YOUR NOSE AT RHINITIS AND ALLERGIES
Allergy sufferers (hay fever, etc.) who have tried it are unanimous : STÉRIMAR’s gentle and thorough cleansing action provides perceptible relief and makes breathing easier.
BEFORE TAKING MEDICATION
STÉRIMAR cleanses the nasal mucosa and optimises the action of any nasal treatment prescribed (antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, antihistamine, etc.)
IN THE AIR
Put your tray tables up, attach your seatbelts… and cleanse your nose. On both take-off and landing, a « psst » of STÉRIMAR 50 ml will help relieve that unpleasant sensation of blocked ears.
WHEN CLEAN AIR IS IN SHORT SUPPLY
Exhaust fumes, factory fumes, pollution peaks…all these emissions make our air unbreathable. Fortunately, here is another occasion to deploy your own personal antipollution weapon : STÉRIMAR, purely in self-defence.
NOSE TO THE WIND
If you work in construction or even if you just tinker around at home on weekends, your nose is put through a terrible ordeal. Once again, STÉRIMAR is the perfect solution for eliminating plaster dust, soot, wood, etc.
BREATHE DEEP
Get your nose in shape as a warm-up exercise! The STÉRIMAR reflex clears your nose and encourages breathing through the nose, whatever your sport: running, cycling, etc.
