One of the most overlooked aspects of our health and that of everyone around us involves the nose, and every day this vital part of our existence, if properly cared for, has the power to “change our entire consciousness and mood in a single second.”  Dr. Hana, as she proudly proclaims, “knows noses” and is on a mission to educate us all “about how, when a nose fails in some fashion, it affects the ears, sinuses, throat, appetite and disposition.  A dysfunctional nose can cause headaches, snoring, coughing, and asthma; the list goes on and on.”

In the interest of full disclosure, Dr. Hana states in the beginning of her book that “this book is a plea, a pitch, an argument, even a nag in favor of daily nose washing.”  Clearing the Air, One Nose at a Time begins by running through the functions of an organ which not only draws in and filters oxygen for the lungs but plays a key role in the most enjoyable parts of life.  Sexuality, the taste of our favorite foods, the storehouse of memories which smells can invoke in a millisecond and our moods are all regulated by this amazing olfactory sense, we should not neglect our noses.

Dear Valued Nasopurist: 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for trying, recommending and continuing to use my product, Dr Hana’s Nasopure.

As you know, it is my never-ending goal to educate and empower as many people as possible about this time tested method of clearing your nose without the use of drugs.  As the cold and flu season approaches, the media is full of reminders to wash your hands and cover your mouth when you cough to reduce contamination and illness.  But the suggestion to wash your nose rarely seems to make it into the headlines!  We know that the nose is the body’s air filter and that it is responsible for protecting the lungs from dust, pollen, pollutants, and viral particles. Viral flu and cold particles enter the body through the nose, the mouth, and the eyes - in that order. Washing removes the trapped particles, preventing invasion of the mucus membranes, and it keeps the body’s filter clean and in good working order. So while the advice to wash your hands and protect your mouth is important, washing the nose is truly essential to maintaining good health.

I would appreciate any comments that you are willing to share with me and together, we can keep the world clean.  One itchy, achy, crusty, snotty, stuffed-up nostril at a time.
