XLEAR - Xylitol Sinus Nasal Spray
They come in winter....then spring...then summer...i guess there is not a season exempt from sinus problems. I know, I used to get sinus congestion and infections all the time. But all of that changed one day at my local Savemart, when an enlightened nutritional expert took me to a shelf. He pointed to a product called Xlear, and told me that so many people were helped by this product that they have a hard time keeping in stock. Being impressed, and desperate, I took it home and started using it religiously. Not only did it clear up the problem that I was having at the time, but I have not had a problem with sinus congestion in the past 4 years I've been using it. I turned my sinus suffering sister onto this product when she visited, and now she's hooked, too.
The ingredients of Xlear are simple and natural, with xylitol being the difference from other sprays. Xylitol appears to stave off the possibility of infection by soothing and moisturizing the nasal passages in a more effective manner than saline solution alone. I think that a key to using this product is to start using it at the very early stages of any hint of a sinus problem, to nip it in the bud. It has been my experience that this is all it takes to keep things from developing into full blown suffering.
Why does it work?
When infectious germs in the sinuses adhere to mucous membranes and nasal tissues, they can lead to infection and disease. Research suggests the addition of precise amounts of xylitol to saline nasal spray makes it much more effective in moisturizing and clearing the nasal passages. Since xylitol reduces the germs, pollutants and irritants from sticking to the tissue, regular use of xylitol nasal spray results in fewer respiratory infections and easier breathing. The concentration of xylitol stimulates our own defensive washing of the nose. Additionally, xylitol decreases the concentration of salt in the airway surface fluid which helps our own antibiotic substances there to be more effective—the problem with saline solution alone. It has been found that nasal irrigation with a xylitol based product results in a decrease in cohesion of bacteria. (
