No-Sol 15 ml cleansing spray to moisturize and rinse the nose

Classification

Today there are many varieties of salt, which differ in color, taste, chemical composition, as well as the degree of grinding and purification. It’s easy to get confused among the wide range. Which one should you prefer?

Types of salt:

1. Iodized. Useful for people living in environmentally unfavorable areas. Contraindicated in case of overactive thyroid gland.
2. Extra. It is an “aggressive” type of salt, since it contains exclusively pure sodium chloride. During the production process of the product (evaporation of water, cleaning with soda) all useful microelements are destroyed, so it is practically of no value to the human body.
3. Stone. This is a natural grayish salt extracted from mines.
4. Black. It is a natural, unrefined product. Improves digestion and has a laxative effect. Black salt contains potassium, iodine, sulfur, and iron.
5. Cooked. It is essentially bleached rock salt, in granules.
6. Marine. The most useful product, a natural source of microelements. Its composition includes: sodium, chlorine, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, zinc, iron, selenium, copper, silicon, iodine [5].

Sea salt is extracted from the planet's waters. It is much healthier than stone or cooking. Its color (gray, pink, black, red) and taste (rich, mild or pungent) are determined by local algae and clay species concentrated in evaporation ponds. Used to treat sinusitis, pneumonia, periodontal disease, hypertension, rheumatism, and poisoning.

According to the place of extraction, the following subspecies of sea salt are distinguished: “Maldon” (England), “Terre de Sel” and “Sel gris” (France), “Rose” (Bolivia), “Himalayan” (Pakistan), “Hawaiian red” or “ Hawaiian black”, “Kala namak” (India), “Persian blue” (Iran).

1. Dietary. A distinctive feature of this type is its low sodium content. Dietary salt contains potassium and magnesium, which support the functioning of the heart and blood vessels.

Salt is classified according to grinding method (coarse, medium, fine), purity (highest, first, second grade).

The product is actively used in the food industry, medicine, and cosmetology.

In cooking, coarse salt is used exclusively for canning vegetables, salting fish, and preparing soups and cereals. Medium grinding is used to improve the taste of marinade, dry salting of meat, and baking fish. Fine salt is added to prepared dishes (snacks, salads) and served. It dissolves quickly and does not squeak on the teeth.

The greatest value for the human body is sea salt, extracted from inland seas and salt lakes.

Let's consider what is unique about this gift of nature.

The importance of sea salt for the body

Salt extracted from the depths of the sea has unique qualities. In laboratory conditions, scientists have still not been able to derive its analogue, despite the fact that the composition of the crystal has long been known. Esotericists claim that salt obtained from sea water has great natural energy, which fills the human body with harmony and health [6].

From time immemorial, sodium chloride has been used as a natural preservative that increases the shelf life of products. Based on it, compositions were prepared to prolong youth and beauty.

The beneficial properties of sodium chloride are due to the presence of sodium, potassium, calcium, bromine, magnesium, iodine, zinc, silicon and iron in the composition [6].

The effect of salt on the human body:

• regulates and maintains water balance and sodium-potassium ion exchange within normal limits;
• relieves spasms of smooth muscles;
• supplies the body with macro- and microelements, in particular sodium;
• calms the nervous system;
• promotes the synthesis of hydrochloric acid;
• inhibits putrefactive processes in the gastrointestinal tract (due to antiseptic properties);
• speeds up metabolism;
• promotes the formation of cell membranes and the formation of red blood cells;
• supports normal hormonal and lipid metabolism, the function of the sex glands;
• improves the condition of the skin.

Salt acts as an antiallergic and disinfectant agent. It is useful not only to consume it internally, but also to use it externally as baths, inhalations, and as part of masks. Thus, salt compresses under the eyes relieve bags, rinses with the addition of soda relieve inflammation of the tonsils, and baths relieve swelling of the legs [6][7].

Properties

Means for irrigation and rinsing of the nose No-Sol cleansing:

• helps cleanse the nasal mucosa from street and indoor dust;
• thanks to its properties, the No-Sol cleansing agent for irrigation and rinsing the nose restores nasal function, thereby reducing the local inflammatory process and reducing the risk of complications;
• means for irrigation and rinsing of the nose No-Sol cleansing maintains the normal physiological state of the nasal mucosa;
• thins mucus and normalizes its production in the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity;
• improves the function of the ciliated epithelium, which increases the resistance of the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses to the penetration of pathogenic bacteria and viruses;
• washes away and removes allergens and haptens from the nasal mucosa.

No-Sol Cleansing Nasal Irrigation and Rinse can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Methods for treating diseases with salt

When the first symptoms of illness appear, do not rush to go to the pharmacy; you can improve your condition using traditional methods, without the use of synthetic products.

Sea salt has antibacterial, antiseptic, and wound-healing effects. It is used to prepare solutions for washing the nasal passages, gargling, baths, and inhalations. It is a natural disinfectant, anti-inflammatory agent that fights ARVI diseases, colds, rheumatism, arthrosis, and neutralizes radiation [6][7].

Salt treatment methods:

1. Inhalations. Prescribed for the prevention and treatment of respiratory diseases, they have a general strengthening value. The principle of operation of the procedure is based on the fact that with the inhalation of medicinal steam, beneficial substances enter the lungs, which kill painful microorganisms, disinfect the mucous membranes of the larynx and nasopharynx, relieve swelling, thin sputum, and saturate the tissues with biologically active compounds. As a result, the patient’s well-being improves, and the disease recedes faster [6][7].

Inhalations with sea salt have anti-inflammatory, antiseptic effects, and are useful for a runny nose and cough.

To enhance the effect, add pine extract, nettle, eucalyptus, sage or linden blossom to the teapot. Such inhalations are carried out 2 times a day.

To prepare therapeutic steam, dissolve 30 grams of sea salt in a liter of water. Bring the resulting mixture to a boil, cook for 5 minutes. Breathe this solution for 10 minutes. To eliminate problems with the upper respiratory tract, inhale through your mouth, exhale through your nose; to treat diseases of the nasopharynx, do the opposite procedure.

Inhalations are contraindicated for hypertensive patients, people with heart and pulmonary insufficiency, nosebleeds, elevated body temperature, and children under 2 years of age.

After the procedure, you should not strain your throat, go out into the cold air, it is advisable to lie down for 30 minutes.

1. Rinsing the nasal cavity, gargling. Symptoms of colds, sinusitis, tonsillitis, tonsillitis, sinusitis, rhinitis recede if the mucous membranes are disinfected with saline solution. This is the safest and most effective way to cleanse the nasal passages of pathogenic mucus. Salt rinsing increases local immunity, removes microparticles of irritants (bacteria, pollen, dust), strengthens capillaries, reduces swelling of the mucous membrane, and accelerates recovery. A solution with sodium chloride reduces inflammatory reactions and reduces the likelihood of infection of the body [6][7].

Method for preparing a disinfectant for rinsing the nasal passages and gargling: dissolve 7 - 10 grams of sea salt without additives in 500 milliliters of hot water. Cool the solution to an acceptable temperature (it should be warm). Perform the procedure 3 – 5 times a day.

Remember, using a cold saline solution to gargle or rinse your nose is unacceptable, as it can worsen the patient's condition.

1. 
   Sea bath. Medicinal properties: relieves rheumatoid spasms, restores mobility and flexibility of joints, relieves osteochondrosis, skin diseases (psoriasis, neurodermatitis, vitiligo, eczema). Hot baths with water temperatures up to 42 degrees are effective for arthritis, neuropsychiatric disorders, liver and kidney pathologies. The course of treatment is 10–15 procedures, lasting 15 minutes, daily or every other day. Contraindications: diseases of the cardiovascular system [6][7].

Preparing a bath: dial water to 35 degrees, dissolve 1.5 kilograms of sea salt. Lie down with your legs slightly higher than your head (this will ease the work of your heart). Procedures should be carried out in the evening no later than 1 hour before bedtime.

To relieve nervous tension, add aromatic oil of chamomile, lavender or lemon balm (a few drops) to your bath.

Why is salt called "white death"?

This term refers to regular table salt. This product is completely refined and devoid of beneficial properties. Therefore, for internal and external use, it is recommended to use exclusively sea salt enriched with microelements. During the production process, it is not subjected to heat treatment, so the product retains maximum nutrients in its composition [8].

Indications for use

• Complex therapy of acute and chronic inflammatory processes of the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses and nasopharynx of various etiologies (including atrophic, allergic and infectious rhinitis, sinusitis, nasopharyngitis);
• Prevention during the autumn-winter and epidemic periods of infectious pathology of the nasal cavity, nasopharynx and paranasal sinuses (sinusitis, frontal sinusitis);
• Prevention of otitis media;
• Improving the absorption of other medications administered into the nasal cavity (for example, local vasoconstrictors);
• Daily hygiene of the nasal cavity to maintain the protective function of the mucous membrane in conditions of increased dryness and/or air pollution (air conditioning, central heating, tobacco smoke, etc.);
• Therapeutic and prophylactic use in the postoperative period (after removal of adenoids, septoplasty and other otorhinolaryngological surgical interventions).

Excess salt in the body

Interestingly, sea salt consists of 97% sodium chloride, and the remaining part (3%) consists of mineral compounds necessary for human life.

Sodium normalizes kidney function, maintains normal water-salt balance, neuromuscular activity, participates in muscle contraction, and transport of blood sugar into cells. Without this element, the growth of the body and the normal functioning of internal organs are impossible [9][10].

By interacting with chlorine, sodium prevents the leakage of fluid from blood vessels into nearby tissues. It is impossible to overestimate the role of this element for a living organism [9][10].

In a healthy person, the sodium content in the blood ranges from 135 to 145 millimoles per liter. A shift in this balance up or down indicates the presence of “hidden” problems in the body [9][10].

With prolonged excess salt consumption (over 10–15 grams per day), hypernatremia develops, accompanied by cellular dehydration [10].

Other causes of sodium accumulation in the body:

• diabetes mellitus type 2;
• hypertension;
• unhealthy diet (uncontrolled consumption of fast food, processed foods);
• hereditary predisposition;
• insufficient amount of water consumed (less than 1.5 liters per day);
• taking mineral preparations;
• violation of water-salt metabolism;
• dysfunction of the adrenal glands and kidneys [10].

Symptoms of excess:

• fluid retention in the body (edema);
• increased body temperature;
• excessive excitability;
• decreased kidney function;
• constant thirst;
• lethargy, loss of strength;
• constipation;
• joint pain;
• dark yellow urine;
• frequent headaches;
• muscle cramps;
• motor restlessness;
• arterial hypertension [10].

Consequences:

• muscle fibers are stretched, their function is weakened (response to impulses worsens);
• renal failure, nephritis, inflammation of the canals develops;
• the blood thickens, the pulse quickens, chronic hypertension appears;
• the risk of stroke and heart attack increases;
• arrhythmia and tachycardia develop;
• fatty deposits (plaques) appear on the walls of blood vessels;
• The regulatory function of the hypothalamus decreases [10].

To eliminate the symptoms of hypernatremia and improve the patient’s condition, the amount of salt consumed should be strictly controlled and reduced to a critical minimum of 3–5 grams per day. In addition, a strict diet, medication, and outpatient treatment are prescribed. The goal of therapy is enhanced elimination and blocking of salt deposition [10].

Remember, self-medication is dangerous to health. Therapy is prescribed by a doctor after drawing up a clinical picture of the patient’s health.

Shortage

Causes of hyponatremia:

• insufficient intake of salt from food (less than 0.5 grams);
• liver cirrhosis with ascites;
• polycystic kidney disease;
• pyelonephritis;
• decompensated diabetes mellitus;
• chronic renal failure;
• nephrotic syndrome;
• diseases of the digestive tract;
• taking diuretics;
• hypersecretion of antidiuretic hormone [9].

Symptoms of deficiency:

• decreased skin turgor;
• dry dermis;
• leg cramps;
• vomit;
• thirst;
• decreased urine output;
• nausea;
• confusion, hallucinations;
• loss of appetite;
• drowsiness and apathy;
• weight loss;
• muscle weakness;
• frequent infectious diseases
• decrease in blood pressure [9].

Consequences:

• depression;
• deterioration of food digestion;
• decrease in blood plasma volume;
• leaching salt from bones;
• increased accumulation of harmful nitrogen compounds that undermine health;
• dysfunction of the vestibular apparatus [9].

Treatment of hyponatremia involves the use of medications and foods containing sodium.

Food sources: sea salt, sauerkraut, brines, broths, soy sauce, canned meat, tomatoes, celery, eggs, fish and seafood.

Myths about salt

Disputes about the benefits and harms of sodium chloride have arisen since ancient times, and do not subside to this day. Some argue about the need to reduce daily salt intake to a minimum. Others, on the contrary, call for including a flavoring additive in the daily diet so as not to “injure” the body.

Myth No. 1 “Salt is poison”

It is not true. Sodium chloride is the most valuable gift of nature, which a few centuries ago was worth its weight in gold. The benefits of salt for the human body are invaluable. Its chronic deficiency can be fatal. Chlorine and sodium included in the product are involved in vital functions: transmission of nerve impulses, transport of oxygen in the blood, and muscle movements.

In moderate quantities, not exceeding the daily requirement, salt is a product that supports human health. However, if consumed excessively, its benefits turn into harm. In this case, the expression “salt is white poison” is completely justified, since hypernatremia can literally kill a person [1].

Myth No. 2 “Diet without salt”

Currently, there is an erroneous assumption that by refusing to take sodium chloride, a person begins to lose kilograms due to the breakdown of fat. This is partly true. A salt-free diet will help you lose up to 4 kilograms in 14 days. However, in this case, weight loss occurs not due to the breakdown of fat deposits, but as a result of dehydration of the body. Along with the liquid, minerals (calcium, potassium, magnesium) are washed out, the deficiency of which leads to an imbalance in the electrolyte balance in the body. As a result, a person experiences rapid fatigue, dry hair and skin, and loss of strength.

A lack of salt in the body is accompanied by the development of diseases of the cardiovascular system, depression, osteoporosis and anorexia.

You cannot completely stop using sodium chloride, as this will lead to poor health.

Today, nutritionists agree that a salt-free diet will do more harm to the human body than good [9].

Myth No. 3 “Salt deposition”

Bile salts, calcium, phosphates, and urates are often deposited in the human body. This group of chemical compounds has nothing to do with sodium chloride. The most important aspect is the ratio of the amount of salt consumed and excreted. It is interesting that to maintain life, the human body absorbs only the missing part of sodium chloride. At the same time, the excess is excreted in the urine. If there is a metabolic disorder, salts begin to accumulate in the gallbladder, joints, and kidneys. As a result, the outflow of bile is disrupted, severe pain occurs, cartilage is destroyed, the pelvis becomes inflamed, and stones form.

Thus, when it comes to salts, we do not mean sodium chloride, but the content of chemical compounds in tissues [11].

Myth No. 4 “Destroys teeth”

True, sea salt, if you chew its crystals, can damage the enamel. In other cases, this statement is nothing more than erroneous. Salt is eaten exclusively in dissolved form, in which it cannot harm the teeth. On the contrary, it, together with soda, is used to treat mouth ulcers and strengthen gums [12].

Myth No. 5 “Increases blood pressure”

Excess salt in the body causes the development of atherosclerosis and negatively affects the mechanism that controls blood pressure. In addition, with excessive consumption of sodium chloride, the need for fluid increases sharply, which leads to increased stress on the heart and blood vessels. As a result, swelling of the limbs is observed, and bags appear under the eyes. Therefore, hypertensive patients are recommended to reduce the daily dose of salt [13].

No-salt, pharmacological action

The drug No-Salt contains sodium chloride, which has osmotic activity. The solution, which is injected into the nasal cavity, increases hydration of the mucous membranes of the nasal passages and their cavities. The result is moistening of the nasal mucosa, softening of dry crusts in the nose and their easy removal. With the help of sodium chloride, scales and crusts that form as a result of surgery are easily removed, and there is no risk of bleeding; you can also easily remove various pathogens and allergens from the mucous membrane, as well as dust particles that make it difficult to breathe through the nose and form blockages in the nasal passages . The use of the drug helps normalize mucus in the nasal cavity and reduces swelling in it, also reduces swelling of the nasal mucous membranes, and reduces the risk of otitis media.

Useful on the farm

Sodium chloride is used in everyday life for the following purposes:

• so that the shells on the eggs do not crack during cooking (add to water);
• so that the cookies do not burn in the oven (pour them under the molds);
• to prevent bugs from getting into jars of cereals (put a bag of salt at the bottom of the container);
• to remove greasy stains from clothes (rub with salt);
• to eliminate the smell of mud from fish (rinse in a saturated saline solution);
• so that colored linen does not fade during washing (add to water);
• so that the first pancake does not come out “lumpy” (wipe the pan);
• so that dry mushrooms regain their former appearance (soak in salted milk);
• so that wet firewood flares up faster (sprinkle with crystals);
• to give softness to terry robes and towels (after washing, rinse in water with added salt).

Salt as a beauty product

Sodium chloride has a beneficial effect on nails, skin, and hair. Sea salt is used in beauty salons for scrubs, peelings, baths, anti-cellulite products, compresses and masks. Procedures based on sodium chloride relieve inflammation, normalize the skin's fat balance, cleanse the dermis and make it more elastic.

Beauty recipes at home

"Bath of Aphrodite"

Relieves tension, soothes sensitive and irritated skin, rejuvenates.

Method of preparing a bath: dissolve 500 grams of sea salt in warm water, add 200 grams of dried seaweed, 50 milliliters of honey and 500 milliliters of milk. The procedure is carried out every other day, 10 sessions.

Body Scrub

Cleanses the skin, removes impurities and dead cells from its surface.

To prepare the scrub, mix 15 grams of coffee grounds, finely ground sea salt, a few drops of essential oil and 15 milliliters of natural oil (sesame, grape seed, olive, almond). Apply the resulting mixture onto the body with gentle massage movements, rinse with warm water.

Anti-cellulite product

Gets rid of orange peel, nourishes and tightens the dermis, improves blood circulation. The active components of the product have good penetrating ability and help remove fat from the deep layers of the skin. However, eliminating cellulite requires an integrated approach, including undergoing tightening procedures, performing physical exercises, and following a therapeutic diet.

To prepare a fat-burning product, mix medium-ground sea salt with thick honey until the consistency of a homogeneous paste. Apply the anti-cellulite composition to the problem area with light massage movements. Pat the smeared areas until the product liquefies on them. Rinse off with warm water.

To smooth the dermis and burn fat deposits in the subcutaneous tissue, repeat the procedure every other day until a lasting result appears.

To enhance the effect, add grapefruit oil (a few drops) to the honey-salt mixture.

Bath to strengthen the nail plate

To prepare a saline solution, dissolve 30 grams of soda and 30 grams of sodium chloride in 250 milliliters of warm water. Immerse your nails in the bath for 15 minutes, do not rinse. Perform this procedure daily for 14 days, before going to bed. This way the salt will “work all night”.

Sodium chloride strengthens the nail plate, makes it elastic and dense, and also saturates it with useful minerals. Thanks to this, it stops exfoliating, crumbling, breaking, and growth accelerates.

Facial peeling

Removes “blackheads”, has a whitening effect, suitable for combination and oily skin types.

To prepare the peeling, mix the following ingredients: cream (15 milliliters), finely ground sea salt (30 grams), cottage cheese (15 grams). Apply the mask to your face, rub it for 30 seconds with massage movements. Rinse your skin with warm, then cool water.

For those with very oily skin, it is recommended to add an additional ingredient to the composition - baking soda (5 grams).

Compress for varicose veins

According to statistical data from the surgery department of the Russian National Research Medical University named after. N.I. Pirogov, more than 50% of the world’s population suffers from swelling of peripheral veins under the skin. As a result, the movement of blood through the vessels worsens, nodes form, and the valve apparatus is destroyed. The veins begin to experience pressure, swell, ache, become tortuous, and become bluish in color. The vessels stretch, and characteristic “cobwebs” form. The main factor in the appearance of pathology is insufficient development of connective tissue.

Symptoms of varicose veins: heaviness in the legs, pain, cramps, swelling of soft tissues, burning in the veins, lumps on the shins, change in skin color. If the disease is not treated in time, the changes spread further, the following are observed: trophic ulcers, pigmentation, induration, phlebothrombosis, malnutrition of the dermis, rarely - fever, weakness, bleeding when nodes rupture.

A compress for varicose veins has warming properties, relieves pain and eases overall well-being.

Method of preparation: dissolve sea salt in warm water in a ratio of 1:1, cool. Soak gauze in the resulting solution, apply to the problem area, and secure with an elastic bandage. After the procedure, rub the treated area.

For hair

Sea salt stimulates the hair follicles, enhances the growth of curls, normalizes the functioning of the sebaceous glands, relieving the scalp of dandruff and excess oil.

In addition, sodium chloride stimulates blood circulation, cleanses the dermis of dead cells, improves hair nutrition in the root zone, prevents strands from falling out, and improves their structure.

Sea salt is rubbed into the scalp or used to make masks. In the first case, finely ground powder is applied with massaging movements to clean, damp hair for 15 minutes, then rinsed thoroughly and dried naturally. To strengthen the structure of medium-length hair, you will need 30–50 grams of sodium chloride.

A salt-based hair mask is more gentle on the scalp. Ingredients: 30 milliliters of yogurt or kefir, 30 grams of sodium chloride. To nourish the scalp, you can add honey, eggs, and essential oils. The ingredients are mixed, applied to the roots of the hair, distributed over the entire length. The head is wrapped in a plastic bag. Leave the mask on for half an hour. Wash off with shampoo. Do not blow dry.

To avoid discomfort and pain, “salt” procedures are carried out only when there are no injuries or scratches on the scalp. The course of therapy is 21–28 days, no more than 2 times a week. If necessary, repeat the procedure after 2–3 months.

With frequent use of salt masks, your hair will lose its lightness and elasticity, become stiff and unruly, so do not overuse it.

Remember, the effectiveness of the procedures depends on the regularity of implementation, strict adherence to proportions in the process of preparing the medicinal composition and the rules of application.

Traditional beauty recipes with salt are much safer and will bring more benefits than products with chemical dyes and flavors.

special instructions

Before use, the bottle of medicine must be held in the palm of your hand to warm it to room temperature.

No-Sol does not have a negative effect on the speed of reactions and the ability to concentrate.

Patients with severe cardiopulmonary failure require regular monitoring of blood electrolyte composition during treatment with the drug.

According to indications, the drug can be used during pregnancy and lactation.

Before using a bottle of nasal drops for the first time, its cap should be screwed on tightly (to pierce the bottle with a spike).

Harm and contraindications

Sodium chloride turns into a poison for the body if there is an excess of the product in the daily diet. Exceeding the daily norm is fraught with vision problems, poisoning, and nervous disorders.

Contraindications:

• tuberculosis;
• renal failure;
• glaucoma;
• venereal diseases;
• hypertonic disease;
• acute infectious diseases;
• swelling;
• stomach ulcer.

In the presence of these pathologies, the human body is not able to cope with the processing of sodium chloride. As a result, the benefit of the product turns into harm: the course of the disease and general health worsen, which reduces performance and limits its vital activity [1][2][3].
