Xlear: Xlear (pronounced Clear) is a natural nasal spray that breaks up the biofilm in the nasal passages where germs multiply. It’s available in health food stores. Please ask your doc about it. Peace and good health.

Some basics: The nasal mucus is food for germs & if you have a season/time when this is made in excess it is more likely to end in an infection. OTC allergy products & saline sprays help some. A Netty pot is an irrigation system many use to rinse the nasal passages. NAVAGE makes a battery powered device that helps you do such a rinse in 1-2 minutes. This has travel case sold separately all available on line.
