EMCUR® Nasal Irrigating Salt
The naturally occurring Emcur® Nasal Cleansing Salt is a salt mixture obtained through gentle evaporation of the thermal springs of the Ems spa in Germany. These arise from the source in the Ems mountains saddle about 73 metres deep below the earth's surface and on emerging they have a temperature of around 580C (1370F).
To obtain 1 gram of salt, 350 ml of thermal water must be evaporated - a costly effort, which can only be justified on the basis of the exceptional composition and extraordinary healing quality of these minerals. Ear Nose and Throat Consultants recognise this and are recommending the EMCUR® Nasal Cleansing Salt regularly to their patients.
EMCUR® Nasal Cleansing Salt is in its composition considerably more complex than sodium chloride (cooking or common salt) and sea salt, as it contains numerous ions which are important for the vital processes of human cells.
The high concentration of bicarbonate results in an alkaline state (pH 7 - 8), in contrast to the acid to neutral state of common salt (pH 6 - 7).
Magnesium, calcium and potassium have decongestant properties.
Sulphur plays a part in anti-allergic defence mechanism.
EMCUR® Nasal Cleansing Salt is carefully refined and its purity achieves the most beneficial effects, which will not be achieved by using common salt, as the latter contains harmful additives (anti-caking agents). 'Home made' solutions can have a too low or too high concentration and as well as being uncomfortable to use, could cause damage to the lining of the nose - the mucous membrane.
Nasal cleansings with solutions made from the Ems salt have been used successfully in Germany for more than 18 years for the treatment and management of sinonasal diseases and diseases of the upper respiratory tract.
We recommend using only EMCUR® Nasal Cleansing Salt with the EMCUR® Nasal Douche, as each sachet is exactly measured to the volume of the douche. Every Emcur Douche is supplied with four sachets of Emcur Salts - enough for four treatments.
One Box of 30 Emcur Salt sachets provide roughly a months supply.
