Natural cleaning of the nose

The cilia of the nasal mucosa play an important role in cleaning the inhaled air and regulating moisture in the nose. But they are exposed to a lot of stress, because low humidity dries out the mucous membranes, which makes it easier for viruses to settle and multiply. Dry heating air is not the only culprit, air conditioning or allergy-triggering substances can also disturb the sensitive balance.

Colds – not only unpleasant in winter

On average, children suffer from the common cold 6-12 times a year. This is triggered by viruses and usually transmitted via droplet infection. A runny nose, difficult breathing and disturbed sleep are not only unpleasant, a cold can also lead to complications such as sinus and middle ear infections, or even respiratory diseases such as bronchitis. Outside of the winter months, children have to struggle with hay fever and the allergic rhinitis it causes. Colds are therefore in season all year round.

Breathe freely again

SNUP® Cold Spray 0.05% is the only cold remedy that contains the unique combination of a decongestant (xylometazoline) and Icelandic seawater for slight moistening. With SNUP® Cold Spray 0.05% you can finally breathe freely again - and without preservatives.

How does a cold actually develop?

The inside of the nose is lined with mucous membrane, which is very well supplied with blood. When you have a cold, the viruses cause inflammation, which causes the body to release tissue hormones such as histamine. Histamine, in turn, dilates the blood vessels in the mucous membrane, causing it to swell. In addition, the blood vessels become more permeable, water leaks out and is perceived as a blocked and runny nose.

Use the body's own mechanism

When aroused, the adrenal glands release the stress hormones adrenaline and noradrenaline. Both stress hormones act via the unconscious (vegetative) nervous system, where they bind to alpha or beta receptors. Basically, their job is to prepare the body for flight or fight, which is why they dull the sensation of pain, deepen breathing and increase blood pressure. However, another important effect of adrenaline and noradrenaline is that they constrict blood vessels. And this is exactly where xylometazoline is used in the SNUP® nasal spray. Because when used locally, xylometazoline binds to the alpha receptors of the blood vessels in the mucous membrane and acts like adrenaline there. Therefore, this class of active ingredients is also called alpha sympathomimetics. By docking to the receptors, the blood vessels in the nose contract, the nasal mucosa swells and excess nasal mucus is sniffed out more easily. The runny nose is stopped and opens again.
