Makers of the SinuCleanse® line of nasal washing products, today announced a product for children, the Kids Mist ™. With the recent ban by the Food and Drug Administration on many over-the-counter cough and cold medicines for children, parents have been left with few options for easing kids' sinus symptoms. The Kids Mist from SinuCleanse is safe and all-natural and is available at Walgreens and online at http://www.sinucleanse.com.

Diane Heatley, M.D., a pediatric ENT physician with the University of Wisconsin-Madison, created the Kids Mist for her patients who weren't old enough to use a neti pot or squeeze bottle on their own.

"For newborns and children under the age of six, products to help with nasal congestion and other sinus or allergy-related symptoms are very limited," said Heatley. "The Kids Mist from SinuCleanse fills that void."

The Kids Mist from SinuCleanse delivers a super-fine saline mist, much finer than anything else on the market. Each kit delivers 200 doses and refills are available online and at select retailers.

"The mist gently moisturizes the inside of a child's nose, thinning nasal secretions and clearing them from the nose and sinuses," said Heatley. "It's a very comfortable treatment to ease your child's suffering. Since is it all natural, there are no concerns about interactions with other prescription medications your child might be taking and no worry about side-effects."

The Kids Mist from SinuCleanse is comprised of a pump spray bottle with a slender tube attached. The tube is placed at the base of the child's nose. "From there, it's very easy to operate," says Heatley.

Parents simply plunge the bottle top down for one squirt of the fine saline mist. "Each squirt delivers a consistent, accurate dosage," says Heatley. "The design prevents germs from being drawn into the bottle from the nose, so the Kids Mist doesn't become contaminated like other saline mist sprays. And, because of the tube, nothing is being inserted fully into the nose, preventing irritation of the inside of the nose."

About the SinuCleanse® Family of Nasal Washing Products

The SinuCleanse neti pot was created in 1997 as an all-natural defense for adults and children who suffer nasal problems. It was created by an ear, nose and throat physician and is clinically proven to reduce sinus symptoms and features a full line of products for every member of the family. This drug-free treatment can be used as often as needed and is safe for every sinus sufferer, including pregnant women, people on multiple medications and children. The SinuCleanse line has expanded and now includes three easy-to-use applications: the original neti pot, the SinuCleanse Squeeze™ and the new Kids Mist™.

The SinuCleanse® line of products is available at Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid and other fine retail locations, as well as online at http://www.sinucleanse.com.
