The nose and the importance of nasal hygiene

The nose and the nasal mucosa have an important role to play in breathing.They moisten and warm inhaled air, preparing it for the body before it enters the lungs.

Cilia (tiny hairs) lining the mucosa filter inhaled air, preventing airborne particles such as dust, microbes, pollution and smoke from entering into the lungs.

When the filtering action of the cilia is insufficient, the cells of the nasal mucosa produce mucus, (a sticky liquid that traps impurities).

By conditioning and filtering the air, the nose acts as the body's first line of defence against external particles that are potentially dangerous to our body. If the nose is too dry and congested, it cannot function properly, increasing the body’s vulnerability to colds, allergic rhinitis and sinusitis.

The health properties of sea water

Sea water is rich in minerals and trace elements.Trace elements contained in sea water are essential for our overall health and wellbeing.

The sea water used in STÉRIMAR™ is collected in deep waters off the coast of Northern France. After collection it is filtered, diluted and microbiologically controlled to produce an aseptic (sterile) sea water solution, without preservatives.

What makes the STÉRIMAR™ range so special?

STÉRIMAR™ is preservative-free
STÉRIMAR™ contains minerals and trace elements.
The diffuser mounted in the STÉRIMAR™ nozzle produces a micro-diffusion effect, gently delivering a fine spray of droplets.
STÉRIMAR™ is manufactured using technology which preserves the quality of the sea water, whilst protecting it from contamination.
STÉRIMAR™ has a non-return valve which ensures that the aerosol container does not become contaminated and that the solution remains sterile for the duration of the shelf life.

If you are planning to holiday in a colder climate, you may worry that being exposed to the sudden change in temperature puts you at a greater risk of falling sick.

The good news is that this is not true. Sudden exposure to colder weather does not make you sick in itself. You need to be exposed to bacteria or viruses for this to happen. The bad news is that the change in humidity can weaken your immune system, make you more susceptible to germs and viruses you may encounter, and increase the likelihood of you getting sick.

Immune boosters like #Airborne® ensure a strong immune system and healthy
holiday. So whatever you do, pack your Airborne®!

#Airborne is an #ActorPharma product. Find out where you can stock up on

Are you ready to fly but not so ready for the colds, flus and illnesses that come with air travel?

Some people believe that it’s the close proximity and recirculated air for long periods of time that leads to air travel sickness. Did you know that the actual reason why we get sick is low humidity! As the plane rises in altitude, high elevation causes humidity levels to drop in the cabin. This causes a dry nose and throat leaving our first lines of defense vulnerable!

Stay safe when you travel with our #Airborne “Travel Safety Checklist”, a list of easy
to follow tips and tricks that will get you to your destination and back in good
health. It’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey and being proactive is better than reactive.

Stress is described as our body’s reaction to an obstacle or task and it is a feeling of
emotional or physical tension.

Sure, stress can be useful in certain situations like, for example, when we need to meet a deadline or respond to danger, this is called acute stress. Stressing for prolonged periods results in chronic stress which is potentially harmful to our body and mind.

There are a few warning signs of chronic stress that no one should ignore eg; forgetfulness, frequent aches and pains, fatigue, trouble sleeping or sleeping too
much, weight loss or gain, headaches or an upset stomach.

#Airborne contains Vitamin C an antioxidant and Magnesium which contributes to
tissue formation which could aid in stress-relief. #Airborne® once a day to boost your immune system.
