Flo Nozoil Nasal Drops 15ml

Overview

Nozoil is an oil made from cold pressed Sesame seed oil and a natural preservative called Unipherol-14 (which also contains hydroxybenzoate). Nozoil contains all three naturally occurring forms of Vitamin E (that is alpha, gamma and beta forms) This product has a high concentration of the antioxidant Vitamin E.

How does Nozoil work? Vitamin E has been shown in the laboratory to minimize the effects of inflammation on nasal tissue. Since these harmful effects are reduced, the tissue is then protected from breakdown. This means that the symptoms of dryness, crusting and even in some cases bleeding, are avoided.

If nasal tissue has already been subjected to the effects of inflammation, then Vitamin E will heal the tissue by preventing further inflammation and giving the body a chance to heal the damaged tissues.

Nozoil can therefore be considered both a healer and a preventer of nasal tissue damage.

When should you use Nozoil Nozoil should be used whenever you experience dryness or crusting of your nose. There may occasionally be a nose bleed associated with the dryness and crusting. If the bleeding does not respond to application of Nozoil over two days, or is severe, then medical attention must be sought.

Your doctor may advise the use of Nozoil after surgery to the nose. This will be to moisturize those tissues while they heal.
