New Health Trend: Oasis Nasal Spray and Wash Saturate Health Industry

Friday, April 4th, 2008

Is nasal washing becoming a trend? The short answer is, yes! Currently forty-million adults and children in the United States suffer from nasal allergies, also known as allergic rhinitis. (Dr. Brown for Rhinocort) It’s shown that washing your nasal cavities can considerably reduce the amount of sinus related infections you may incur. You might think that nasal washing is just for chronic allergy sufferers, but nasal washing is great for adults and children suffering from both minor and chronic allergies, or sinus related problems. Like flossing, it’s a method of prevention.

Oasis nasal spray and wash (http://www.oasisnasalspray.com) is available for children and adults, providing a natural alternative to over-the-counter congestion medicine, prescription allergy medication, and allergy shots. Oasis products are made from Dead Sea salts, rather than the usual saline. Most commonly used, hypertonic saline is known to cause cilia damage in the nasal passages, which lowers your ability to fight off infection. Oasis helps in the maintenance and prevention of symptoms such as post-nasal drip, runny and stuffy nose, and sinus discomfort. Oasis has recently entered the consumer allergy fighting product line, providing consumers the benefit of relief without annoying side-affects. And unlike many over-the-counter and prescription nasal products, Oasis doesn’t cause dependency, so it’s safe for all ages.

Recently the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Wisconsin did a study with 52 patients having a history of sinus related problems and compared them to 24 matched control subjects. They found that, “The group using nasal irrigation exhibited improved quality of life, less frequent symptoms, and used antibiotics and nasal sprays less often. They were compliant with nasal irrigation, liked using it, and suffered few side effects.” This nasal washing has become a trend among all age groups, and Oasis is filling the need with their all natural nasal products.

Oasis nasal (http://www.oasisnasalspray.com) products are currently available in ten states across America; soon expanding even more. Oasis’ unique formula consisting of all-natural Dead Sea salts has become a household name in many homes across the country; its healing properties proving to reduce inflammation, causing healthier nasal passages and cavities. With an abundance of over-the-counter and prescription nasal sprays on the market, Oasis values the opportunity as the industry’s exclusive provider of natural nasal products, to help consumers find a safer, more reliable way to treating their allergy and sinus problems.

Get in on the trend by using the newest and most popular nasal products. Help restore your health with Oasis nasal spray and wash.

Oasis Nasal Spray & Nasal Wash

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

A little more about Us

Oasis Nasal Spray and Wash, founded by Dr Scott Cordray, was created in 1991.  Dr. Scott Cordray, an Otolaryngologist, created Oasis nasal spray and wash to treat an array of allergy, rhinitis, and sinusitis problems.  Oasis products are made from an all-natural Dead Sea salt solution, rather than the standard saline.  Dead Sea salt is known for its healing properties and anti-inflammatory affect.  Dr. Scott Cordray utilizes the Dead Sea salt in the Oasis products for optimum results.  The Dead Sea is the world’s lowest and most saline lake. Its 30% salt composition has proportionately more calcium, magnesium, bromine, and potassium and less sodium, sulfate, and carbonate than any ocean.  It lies between the hills of Judea to the west and the Tran Jordanian plateaus to the east. The Jordan River flows from the north into the Dead Sea. Many years ago, heavy stream flow into the lake deposited thick sediments containing shale, clay, sandstone, rock salt, and gypsum.  After this, strata of clay, marl, soft chalk, and gypsum fell upon layers of sands and gravel. Having no outlet, the Dead Sea is a “terminal lake” which loses huge amounts of water by evaporation in the hot dry air. The water has evaporated faster than it has been replenished by precipitation over the last 3 to 4 thousand years, which has resulted in the lake gradually shrinking to its present form. Because of this, bare deposits cover the Dead Sea valley to a thickness of 1 to 4 miles (1.6 to 6.4 Km). This water evaporation has also resulted in high concentrations of salts and minerals in a unique composition that is particularly rich in calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, bromide, and various other minor anions such as, e.g., sulfate.

Nasal Washing as Important as Flossing: Oasis Nasal Wash

Oasis Nasal Spray Uses Dead Sea Salt; Better than Saline

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

Oasis Nasal Spray and Wash products are made with Dead Sea salts; a natural alternative to the saline solutions used in popular over-the-counter and prescription nasal sprays.  For hundreds of years, Otolaryngologists have used salt and saline solutions to prevent and treat nasal allergies and sinus problems.  The hypertonic saline solution most popularly used has been shown to be harmful to the nasal cavity cilium. (A microscopic hair-like process extending from the surface of a cell or unicellular organism. Capable of rhythmical motion, it acts in unison with other such structures to bring about the movement of the cell or of the surrounding medium.) Cilium is essential for good respiration, circulation and movement of body fluids.

The Dead Sea brine is characterized by a unique chemical composition, made up of proportionately more calcium, magnesium, bromine, and potassium than any other ocean.  A variety of respiratory and skin conditions are treated at the Dead Sea; helping by minimizing inflammation.  This unique solution, not found naturally anywhere but the Dead Sea, has been shown to provide marvelous results for allergy and chronic sinusitis sufferers.

Helpful to both adults and children, Oasis nasal spray and wash can help restore and maintain the health of your nasal passages.  The recommended dose is two to three sprays, twice a day. Oasis encompasses the healing properties of the Dead Sea to offer allergy and chronic sinus sufferers an alternative solution to their misery, without causing dependence.

SALT DOES A BODY GOOD

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

The Dead Sea has long been one of the world’s best diamonds in the rough as a major hub for health research and treatment. How could a “dead” sea provide anything good toward life?  The answer is its mineral contents that are unlike any other place in the world.

Located between the West Bank of Israel, and Jordan, the Dead Sea has been a place of healing since ancient Biblical times.  King David and Herod the Great would escape to the Dead Sea as a place of refuge and recreation.  Remnants of Herod’s home can still be seen today when visiting the popular tourist spot, Masada.  Many considered it the world’s first health resort due to the beneficial mineral content of the Dead Sea, especially its high concentration of salt.

The Dead Sea is located 1,300 feet below sea level, making it the lowest natural place on Earth. Israeli experts say that it is 9 times saltier than the Mediterranean, and tops out at 31.5% salinity verses normal oceans’ 3.5% salinity. The water of the Dead Sea is made up of 12-18% sodium Chloride, and the remaining contents include Potassium, Magnesium, and Bromide. “Why does it matter?” you may be asking.

Medical research has proven over the years that this Salt contains natural healing powers. The vitamins contained in the Dead Sea Salt are proven to positively effect the body’s circulation and metabolism. Most people have only used Dead Sea products to reduce wrinkles, moisturize dry skin, fix cellulite, or cure major health problems such as psoriasis, arthritic disorders, and insomnia.  But now, it has been discovered that Dead Sea Salt can work as an agent to cure small common colds and allergic problems.

Several studies have shown Dead Sea salt solutions to work markedly better than sodium-saline solutions because of less sodium and more magnesium than any other natural source. High magnesium salt content has proven to be far superior to sodium salts when treating a multitude of skin irritations. In addition, evidence shows that low magnesium levels in the blood are synonymous with high histamine levels and abnormal bacteria growth.

Oasis Nasal Spray provides the healing powers of the Dead Sea in their all-natural product for common nasal problems such as nasal allergies, runny nose, sneezing, nasal congestion, postnasal drip, itchy nose, recurrent sinus infections, and chronic sinusitis. OASIS is the only product treating the CAUSE of the problem that sufferers have.  The end result is consumers can Breathe once they use and continually use these SAFE and ALL Natural products.  Oasis Nasal Spray was created by the vision and hard work of Dr. Scott Cordray, a Licensed Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist. His company, Master Solutions, has helped to create Oasis Nasal Wash and Oasis Nasal Spray by utilizing the healing salts of the Dead Sea.  The products work on two strong fronts: it reduces inflammation or the irritation and it washes out the allergens for long lasting relief and healing.

New from Master Solutions: Oasis Nasal Spray and Oasis Nasal Wash

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

Chronic Rhinosinusitus (CRS) affects an estimated 14% of the U.S. population each year.1 This illness, which often lasts 12 weeks or more, causes nasal inflammation that can lead to coughing, headaches, dental pain, halitosis, fever and fatigue. Oasis nasal products have been designed to combat CRS naturally without the use of antibiotics, steroids, antifungal medicines or antihistamines. In a problematic market where many nasal medicines have been proven addictive or to have side effects (many children’s products have been taken off of the shelves by the FDA), Oasis Nasal Spray and Oasis Nasal Wash break new ground as safe and proven solutions.

CRS is caused by the disruption of the mucus membranes from allergens, dust particles and fungi. The cilia, which cover the surface of cells in the nasal cavity, become blocked. This impedes sinus drainage and increases the risk of microbial overgrowth and infection.2 Inadequate drainage also leads to increased pressure and pain.

Antibiotics are often used to treat CRS, though extensive studies show no advantage over placebo in treating the illness.3 Oral corticosteroids, decongestants and antihistamines provide some symptomatic relief, but do not address the cause the inability for the cilia to discard the mucus that is protecting the infection from the body’s natural defenses.4

Oasis products set themselves apart from other products by treating the cause of CRS without interfering with the immune system. Irrigation of the nasal mucosa with Oasis Nasal Wash facilitates the removal of mucus secretions and cleanses associated nasal tissues of bacteria, viruses, fungi and allergenic debris.5 This process also results in significant reduction in histamine concentrations for up to six hours after administration.6
Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist Scott Cordray (D.O., F.A.O.C.O.) from Master Solutions has helped to create Oasis Nasal Spray and Oasis Nasal Wash by utilizing the healing salts of the Dead Sea. Several studies have shown Dead Sea salt solutions to work markedly better than sodium-saline solutions.7-9 The Dead Sea’s salt content has proportionately more magnesium and less sodium than any other natural source.10 High magnesium salt content has proven to be far superior to sodium salts when treating a multitude of skin irritations.12, 13 In addition, evidence shows that low magnesium levels in the blood are synonymous with high histamine levels and abnormal bacteria growth.14

In 2007 nasal washes, mucolitics and decongestants combined gross sales of over 1.9 billion dollars. While decongestant and mucolitic sales from 2006 to 2007 remained fairly stagnate, nasal wash and spray sales have climbed rapidly.15 Oasis products have arrived in time to take a large share of this market.

The 2008 allergy season approaches. It is time to get the word out about the remarkable effectiveness of the all natural Oasis Nasal Spray and Oasis Nasal Wash. The research is vast, the evidence clear: there is no better cure, over the counter or prescription, for Chronic Rhinosinusitus than Oasis nasal treatments from Master Solutions.

An Oasis of Relief for Parents

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

As a parent, deciding on what medicine to give your children is one of the most fearful responsibilities you have. You hear bad reports on how addictive or how harmful some remedies are in newspapers and on the TV almost every week. It can become absolutely stressful when your child is sick and you then must make the hard decision on what to pick up at your local pharmacy.

This grave concern was not helped when the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) made a recent recall for over-the-counter cough and cold medicines for children. They are now contemplating whether nasal sprays and nose drops are safe for children younger than 12. The FDA is worried that these easy to use congestion reducers have dangerous side effects such as addictive tendencies. But there is hope for parents out there. There is now a safe and effective solution you can buy.

Oasis Nasal Spray and Wash is proud to announce that it is not on the recall list and has a strict non addictive standing. Oasis has released Children’s Oasis Nasal Spray andWash. Oasis’ solution is all natural and produced entirely of purified Dead Sea Minerals. Many nasal sprays contain a saltwater base, which helps release congestion in the nose and is easily wiped away. Oasis nasal spray takes it another step by not simply being saltwater from any ocean mixed with other chemicals like the leading nasal spray, but is all natural and made from the most salty sea in the world.

Oasis Nasal Spray provides the healing powers of the Dead Sea in their products for problems faced everyday; nasal allergies, runny nose, sneezing, nasal congestion, postnasal drip, itchy nose, recurrent sinus infections, and chronic sinusitis. Oasis Nasal Spray was created by Scott Cordray; Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist. His company Master Solutions has helped to create Oasis Nasal Wash and Oasis Nasal Spray by utilizing the healing salts of the Dead Sea.
