Annoying Allergy Problems

If you have ever suffered from an allergy problem, then you know that it is not a pleasing thing to go through. The problems are numerous: eyes that won’t stop watering, nostrils that won’t stop dripping, your throat that won’t stop itching-you name it, these are all allergy related symptoms that will have you going crazy in no time at all. If you haven’t ever suffered from allergies, don’t think that you never will. I never had a problem with allergies, but returning home after being in a very foreign climate, the allergy saga began. The worst of all, a constant stuffed nose that wouldn’t ever let me breathe normally. Trying to sleep was a great task, and learning how to sleep while breathing through my mouth was even a greater task. I often had to resort to extreme measures, which was shamefully ineffective and at the same time, embarrassing. Well not to worry, there is an easy, inexpensive and safe way to solve such annoying allergy problems: Xylitol.

Xylitol is a naturally occurring sugar substitute. It is safely used in many well known products as a dietary supplement. With the same crystalline structure, it has the same look as sugar, and tastes just like it too. Even more important though is its use as a 5 carbon sugar as a cleansing ingredient that is able to effectively cleanse the bacteria that cling to the nostril wall, which impedes one to breathe normally. It is similar to the structure of sugar, but the 5 carbon difference is what makes it able to kill the bacteria.

Here is how it works:

Bacteria consume Xylitol, but because of Xylitol’s difference in structure, the bacteria cannot metabolize it and eventually dies. Therefore this leaves your nostril wall essentially cleansed and free to breathe normally once again. That is why Xlear Inc. (pronounced clear) has incorporated Xylitol into an effective nasal spray which will do just that. It combines Xylitol with a saline nasal spray which has been proven effective to cleanse the nasal wall and reduce other allergy related problems while fighting off harmful bacteria. Many diseases and illnesses that affect us enter in our bodies through the nasal passageway, therefore introducing this bacteria killing element will in effect lower our risk to disease. We often worry about washing our hands often to fight off bacteria, well why not worry about washing our noses often to keep a healthy lifestyle and target the problem from another often "looked over" area.

Now there are many different types of nasal spray out there, with some sold over the counter and others sold only by prescription. There are such sprays such as corticosteroid nasal spray which can be effective but leaves you vulnerable to harmful side effects such as nose bleeds or increased irritation. Another spray sold over-the-counter is cromolyn sodium nasal spray which does well for some allergy related problems such as a runny nose or itchy eyes, but is useless against one of the most annoying problems; a stuffed up nose. There are some decongestant nasal sprays sold over-the-counter but usually are associated with chronic swelling of the nasal passages and even addiction. These nasal sprays usually come in two types: oxymetazoline and phenylephrine. What makes Xlear’s nasal spray effective and safe is that it combines a completely safe saline nasal spray with the bacteria killing xylitol into what works essentially as a nasal cleanser, and also helps to fight out other allergy related problems.
