Little ones and children rely greatly on easy breathing – particularly during the night. The nerves that regulate breathing are in the nasal passages. Tiny hairs help to 'catch' dirt and dust particles taken in during a breath, and also help to warm the air before it reaches the lungs. Furthermore each nostril independently moisturizes and dehumidifies the air passing into the body.
The Natural Way
There is a lot that can be done naturally to promote open airways and easy breathing. It is important that airways remain open during the night for comfortable peaceful sleep. You may try increasing the humidity in the air with a vaporizer or humidifier. Always ensure your child drinks extra fluids - to keep hydrated.
For a child too young to blow his or her nose, an infant nasal aspirator (bulb) can be used. Remember NEVER to insert cotton swabs into a child's nostrils! A much better idea is to hold a tissue to the nose and roll any nasal waste around the tissue, pulling it out of the nose. Keep your child upright, or elevate the head – this should particularly be done for young children. Some stores sell adhesive strips that can be placed on the nose, helping to widen the nostrils, making breathing easier.
What is Congesto-K KiddieRub?
Congesto-K KiddieRub is a pure aromatherapy chest massage oil for children. This natural combination of pure therapeutic essential oils will help to keep your child's chest and nose clear and open, and to maintain relaxed, easy breathing. The aromatherapeutic ingredients are also known to support strong immune systems.
Massage helps to soothe children and lift their spirits, providing the comfort needed – especially at night. Congesto-K KiddieRub is safe and effective for children and babies from the age of 6 months. For children younger than 6 months, our Congesto-K Pillow Spritzer™may be used as a space spray in the bedroom at night or while sleeping.
Like all Native Remedies products, Congesto-K KiddieRub is 100% natural, and manufactured according to the highest pharmaceutical standards. Individual ingredients are well researched and have been specially chosen for their high safety profile in children's remedies.
"Congesto-K KiddieRub is great! My toddler couldn’t sleep his nose was so stuffy and I hate to give him medicine. The first evening I massaged him with the aromatherapy rub he was breathing easier almost immediately and slept through the night- what a relief. I owe you a big thank you!"Sumaya R
