Balikain Spray

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 inspired air by acting not only as a primary low-resistance conduit of 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 as congestion or simple discomfort but also as allergic rhinitis or chronic sinusitis. In addition, its particular architecture forces air to pass through vortices that precipitate the coarsest impurities.

We think about how compromised our sleep is when our nose is even simply half-closed with repercussions that we carry with us throughout the day. The most common remedy for most patients in nasal obstruction is the use of nasal sprays or decongestants that work via alpha-adrenergic effects; unfortunately, these are associated with rebound congestion, leading to repeated use and subsequent "medicated rhinitis." Consequently and in light of this, we designed a product based on other mechanisms, which would not give the rebound effects associated with the use of decongestants.

Consequently, our interest was focused on creating a plant synergy with a positive and complex interaction of various herbs, and we created BALIKAIN SPRAY. This combination of, Scutellaria Baicalensis  e Eleuthrococcus Senticosus (Siberian ginseng )  is used in China traditionally for the treatment of congestion.
