Aqua Maris® Junior gently unblocks the nasal passages during colds, allergies and flu and nourishes nasal passages. The ability to breath normally depends on a healthy nasal mucous membrane. Colds, allergies, flu, nasal surgery and a number of other situations cause increased secretion and swelling of the nasal mucous membranes. In these situations the nasal passage is congested, reducing the ability to breathe easily. Congestion and inability to breath easily is a problem for both children and adults, getting in the way of daily activities. Seawater in Aqua Maris® Junior has a soothing effect on the mucus membranes of the upper respiratory tract. Because of its salt contents, Aqua Maris® Junior purified seawater removes excess fluid from the nasal mucous membranes, thereby decreasing its swelling and making breathing easier.
