SYMPTOMS OF DYSFUNCTION

In such cases the barrier that blocks external aggressors is destroyed, allowing the latter to attack the respiratory system. The first symptoms of a cold can then appear (fever, sneezing, coughing, nasal discharge), signs that the body is trying to defend itself, with the risk of developing more serious pathologies (rhinopharyngitis, otitis, bronchitis, etc.).

To defend oneself against mucosal failure, one must help it to rid itself of its tougher adversaries. Nasal lavage helps to :

• clear away the mucous
• liberate the vibrating cilia
• restore the defensive functions of the nasal mucosa.

Regular nasal lavages prevent the accumulation of secretions, which contribute to the destruction of mucosal ciliary cells.

The mucosal cells also need to be regenerated after working so hard to clear the accumulated mucous in vain.

MARIMER^® has 2 mechanisms of action :

• It cleans the mucosa and rids it of accumuated mucous.
• It humidifies the mucosa and enables the cells to regenerate.
