Flo Travel Nasal Spray is a gentle, moisturising nasal spray containing Carrageenan (1.6mg/mL of red seaweed extract) in an isotonic, preservative-free saline solution. It helps relieve nasal dryness and wash away germs. It has also been shown to temporarily relieve and reduce the duration of cold symptoms*. Maintaining well hydrated nasal tissues may help especially during the winter months to: support nasal immunity against common cold viruses and bacteria AND prevent the nose from becoming dry or crusty. If the mucus layer that covers nasal tissues is kept moist, then viruses, bacteria and other irritants are trapped and carried to the back of the throat, swallowed and then destroyed by the stomach's acids. This is a normal and natural process. However, nasal functioning can be affected by a number of factors. Cooler temperatures slow down mucus transportation in the nose and low humidity can dry the nose out. Using Flo Travel Nasal Spray is a positive step towards supporting your nasal health especially during the winter months or when travelling when nasal functioning may be compromised. Sharing of a nasal spray device is not recommended due to risk of possible infection.
