Nenäliuskohoito

Nenäliuskohoito is a non-medicinal treatment method used to improve nasal breathing. It involves applying adhesive strips to the outside of the nose. These strips are designed to gently lift and open the nasal passages, which can be beneficial for individuals experiencing nasal congestion due to various reasons.

The principle behind nenäliuskohoito is mechanical. When applied correctly, the strips create a slight outward pull on the skin on either side of the nostrils. This action widens the nasal valve area, reducing resistance to airflow and making it easier to breathe through the nose. They are often used by athletes to enhance oxygen intake during physical activity, by people who snore due to nasal congestion, and by individuals with deviated septums or allergies that impede nasal breathing.

Nenäliuskohoito is considered a safe and drug-free option. The strips are typically hypoallergenic and can be worn overnight or during periods of exertion. Their effectiveness can vary from person to person, and they are generally considered a supplementary measure rather than a cure for underlying nasal conditions. Some users report immediate relief, while others find the benefits more subtle. Removal of the strips is usually straightforward, though some minor skin irritation can occur in rare cases. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for application and removal to maximize comfort and efficacy.
