Navage: Nasal Irrigation and Covid-19

Posted in: Madison Park
Dear Naväge Enthusiast,
 
I’m writing about the recent groundswell of interest from research scientists and doctors in saline nasal irrigation, and specifically, how nasal irrigation may reduce the symptoms of COVID-19 and perhaps even help prevent it. In fact, there are currently a number of clinical trials underway including at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, University of Edinburgh Medical School (Scotland), and the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University, among others.
 
As explained by Dr. Amy Baxter who is leading the trial at the Medical College of Georgia, these studies are intended to scientifically test the theory that, “Nasal irrigation is the key to reducing COVID-19 progression of symptoms and infectivity.”

Nasal irrigation has long been proven to flush out allergens, bacteria, and germs, and there are even studies indicating that it flushes out viruses. However, to date there haven't been any published studies demonstrating that it reduces the probability of getting a cold or the flu, even though many doctors believe that to be the case.

Scientists at the University of North Carolina Schools of Public Health and Medicine recently wrote in the scientific journal Cell, that the coronavirus tends to become firmly established in the nasal cavity first. Dr. Richard Boucher stated, “If the nose is the dominant initial site from which lung infections are seeded, then the widespread use of masks to protect the nasal passages, as well as any therapeutic strategies that reduce virus in the nose, such as nasal irrigation or antiviral nasal sprays, could be beneficial.”

Similarly, the article Nasal Irrigation in Covid-19 Pandemic: Is It Justified?, was published in the IOSR Journal of Medical Science in June. The authors conclude that, “In present times with the rise in COVID-19 cases, regular nasal douching is an easy, safe and cost-effective method for clearing out pathogens from the nasal cavity.”
 
As you can see, there’s a lot of interest, but the research itself has only just begun. Full disclosure: we’re super proud to have been asked to support Dr. Baxter’s study with several hundred Naväge Nose Cleaners and thousands of SaltPods!  It’s VERY exciting to be a part of something that could hold real promise to reduce the grip this pandemic has on our nation. How wonderful would that be!
 
Or as we’ve been saying recently, “You wash your hands and brush your teeth, but what are you doing to keep your nose clean? After all, it’s the body’s air filter and its first line of defense against allergens, bacteria, and germs!”  
 
Best regards,
 
Martin
