Description

SCUTELLARIA BAICALENSIS-SIBERIAN GINSENG

The nasal mucosa is the predominant point of contact between the respiratory system and the external environment. Its function is to prepare the inspired air by acting not only as a low-resistance primary conduit for the air to reach the lungs, but also to humidify, clean and warm it. Precisely because of its characteristics, it is constantly exposed to aero-allergens, chemicals, pollutants, viruses and bacteria, causing inflammation that manifests itself as congestion or simple discomfort but also as allergic rhinitis or chronic sinusitis. Furthermore, its particular architecture forces the air to pass through vortices which cause the coarser impurities to precipitate.

Let’s think about how our sleep is compromised when the nose is even simply half closed with repercussions that we carry with us throughout the day. The most popular remedy for most patients in nasal obstruction is the use of nasal sprays or decongestants that work through alpha-adrenergic effects; unfortunately, these are associated with rebound congestion, leading to repeated use and subsequent “rhinitis medicamentosa”. Consequently and in the light of these premises, we thought of a product based on other mechanisms, which did not give the rebound effects associated with the use of decongestants.

Consequently, our interest was focused on creating a synergy of plants with a positive and complex interaction of various herbs and we created BALIKAIN SPRAY. This combination of, Scutellaria baicalensis  and Eleuthrococcus Senticosus (Siberian ginseng ) traditionally used in China for the treatment of inflammation, with low toxicity  demonstrated a significant suppression of nasal inflammation mediators acting favorably on congestion.
