Dust, various particles present in the air, microorganisms get on the mucous membrane. In winter, it is also affected by cold air. Spray "Quicks" with aloe - a special tool for the nose. It allows you to clean the mucous membrane, relieve irritation. The manufacturer is Berlin-Chemie / A. Menarini "(Germany).
The composition of the funds
“Quicks” with aloe has a fairly simple composition. There are no additives or preservatives harmful to humans. A spray is produced based on 3 components - purified water, water from the Atlantic Ocean and aloe vera extract.
Water from the Atlantic Ocean contains valuable minerals and trace elements that support the protective properties of the nasal mucosa. It's no secret that ocean water is salty. Do not worry that salt will cause irritation. Its concentration in the spray corresponds to the natural concentration in the human body. This is achieved by the manufacturer by adding purified water to the product.
The benefits of spray
It’s not without reason that aloe is added to Quicks. The instructions say that in the product the concentration of this component is low. But, despite this, the benefit of the component is enormous. This plant has powerful healing power, so even in small quantities it gives a miraculous effect. Spray Extract:

Mom's note
Inexperienced mothers are wondering how to correctly inject "Quicks" with aloe to children. The instructions do not have this information. First of all, it is worthwhile to understand that this procedure is absolutely painless, but caution will not hurt. The tip of the bottle must be carefully inserted into the nasal passage, so as not to accidentally injure the mucous membrane.
It is impossible to replace “Quicks” with plain fresh water. It may contain harmful microorganisms, which, when ingested on the mucous membrane of the child’s nasal cavity, will cause an inflammatory process. Quickix Spray is manufactured in accordance with the strictest standards, so it poses absolutely no danger to the baby compared to plain fresh water.
And now about the procedure itself ... For washing the nasal cavity, the child is seated. The spray bottle is held upright. After injection, the child is told to blow his nose. For those babies who still do not know how to do this, mothers clean their nose using a rubber bulb or an aspirator. Detachable mucus is removed by suction.
