"We frequently receive requests from members of the public for a natural product to ease their nasal hay fever symptoms. STERIMAR is a product recommended by experts to reduce the irritants within the nose. It makes sense that washing our nasal passages will help, particularly if we are allergic to pollen and airborne allergens."
Muriel Simmons, Allergy UK

During National Allergy Week, Allergy UK will be highlighting the misery that is caused to millions of people who suffer from allergy or hypersensitivity by providing advice on how to identify and manage their symptoms such as sneezing, streaming eyes, coughing and sleeplessness; symptoms that can seriously impact on all aspects of life.

STÉRIMAR, the all-natural sea water nasal spray is proud to support Allergy UK during National Allergy Week 2009
Millions of people, about 20% of the population1, suffer from hay fever. When airborne allergens such as pollens and spores come into contact with the body it reacts with the usual dreaded symptoms. So, it makes sense that to reduce symptoms you should minimise your contact with these allergens.

STÉRIMAR is a pure and natural sea water nasal spray that helps keep noses healthy by cleaning and clearing nasal passages. STÉRIMAR quickly and gently clears pollen, dust and other airborne allergens from the nose, working on removing the actual cause of hay fever and allergies. Acting as a natural preventative, it allows you to breathe naturally.

There's a wide range of clinical evidence2 supporting the effectiveness of sea water in treating hay fever in both adults and children. Studies have shown that STÉRIMAR on its own or in conjunction with another medication is an effective way to flush out allergens and clear the nose to significantly improve the flow of air. A breath of sea air for sufferers.

STÉRIMAR is 100% natural, drug and preservative free so is safe to be used on babies, young children, during pregnancy or where the choice of medication may be restricted. Without any side effects or drug interaction, it can be used as often as desired or in conjunction with any other medication.

STÉRIMAR is trusted by millions in over 84 countries and recommended by ENT specialists, GPs, pharmacists and health professionals.

"STÉRIMAR preparations provide effective relief for hay fever symptoms and is useful for those who can't take or prefer to avoid either nasal sprays containing drugs, or antihistamines by mouth which can carry the risk of drowsiness. STÉRIMAR is especially effective for a stuffy, blocked or congested nose, a troublesome symptom that responds poorly to many other hay fever remedies". Dr Carol Cooper, Family GP and tutor at Imperial College Medical School

"As a pharmacist I recommend STÉRIMAR as a safe, natural way to clear the nasal passages and remove small particles from the nose. Stérimar is highly effective and a great remedy for people who prefer the natural option." Sonal Davda, MRPharms http://www.pharmacyshopping.co.uk

There are two STÉRIMAR products to choose from:

STÉRIMAR ® Isotonic 'Nasal Hygiene' (RRP £6.49)

STÉRIMAR Isotonic* 'Nasal Hygiene' is so gentle that it can be used on babies 3 months upwards. It can be used daily to gently moisturise and cleanse the nasal passageways, removing allergens in the first instance and therefore reducing hay fever symptoms. Beyond hay fever it is also highly effective at relieving dry or stuffy noses and helping with other nasal conditions such as colds, sinusitis or for postoperative care. It is a must for all the family as an everyday preventative cleanser to ensure wellbeing and a healthy and working nose.
* Isotonic: means it has the same concentration of salt as cells in the human body

TÉRIMAR ® Hypertonic 'Blocked Nose' (RRP £6.99)

STÉRIMAR Hypertonic 'Blocked Nose' has a higher salt concentration than STÉRIMAR Isotonic for a stronger yet gentle decongestive effect. When sprayed into a blocked nose, the extra saltiness creates a natural osmotic effect that helps draw out fluid and quickly relieves congestion. Copper and manganese have also been added to STÉRIMAR hypertonic for their anti-infectious and anti-allergic properties. Suitable for adults and children (3 years plus).

Directions: Simply insert the specially designed nozzle into each nostril 2 to 6 times a day or more if required. Spray briefly and allow the excess solution to drain away before gently blowing your nose. Always wash nozzle with soapy water after each use.
