The advantages of cleansing the nose with Rhino Horn are numerous:
- Salt water is natural. No artificial chemical influence on the mucous membranes.
- The design of Rhino Horn makes the tip fit nicely into the nasal opening, and the water flows at a natural pressure through the nose due to gravity only.
- With Rhino Horn nasal cleansing becomes easy and pleasant.
- The salt water improves the resistance of the mucous membranes against bacterial and viral attacks.
- The warm salt water relaxes swollenness in the mucous membranes.
- Rinsing the nasal passages with saline water will help prevent & can alleviate sinusitis.
- Rinsing with salt water will remove dust and pollen and thus alleviate allergy discomfort.
- Nose cleansing reduces the consequences of air pollution.
- Use of Rhino Horn is a big help after nasal surgery – it rinses mildly and effectively.
- The use of Rhino Horn is extremely economic – you only need warm water and domestic table salt.
Rhino Horn will be available through Pharmacists, Health Stores & the Internet
