  • Stuffy Nose
    Nasal congestion, stuffiness, or obstruction to nasal breathing is one of humanity's oldest and most common complaints. While it may be a mere nuisance to some, to others it is a source of considerable discomfort and may detract from the quality of life.
     

  • Post-nasal Drip
    The glands in your nose and throat continually produce mucus (one to two quarts a day!). Mucus moistens and cleans the nasal membranes, humidifies air, traps and clears inhaled foreign matter, and fights infection.

    Insight into care and prevention of epistaxis (nosebleeds).
