This product provides relief from: Sinus Trouble
Breathe-Ease® XL Formulated Saline Powder features a newly enhanced moisturizing formula that is more than just plain saline. The enhanced formula more fully addresses the issue of the nose's ability to adequately moisturize the air you breathe when there is irritation caused by infection, allergies, dry conditions, and even the use (or over use) of over-the-counter nasal sprays and other products that so often contain drying, and even harmful, additives and preservatives. To overcome these issues, Breathe-Ease XL's no-preservative, no-iodine and no-additive formula helps achieve and maintain clear breathing and healthy cilia function through the moistening and cleansing of the nasal cavities and sinuses. Developed by Grossan, the same company that makes the Hydro Pulse™ Nasal/Sinus Irrigation System, Breathe-Ease XL is the smart alternative to over-the-counter products.
Breathe-Ease® XL Formulated Powder comes in an economical 190 gram (6.7 oz) bottle, complete with a 2-sided measuring spoon and mixing instructions. Breathe-Ease is also available in a box of 33 pre-measured packets (sold separately).

Benzalkonium
Grossan uses no preservatives and no additives (including no Benzalkonium) in its Breathe-Ease® XL line of moisturizing saline solution products.
Preservatives and additives have been found to be harmful or irritating to the nose. One such preservative that has reached notoriety in the medical community is Benzalkonium. The Benzalkonium Sodium preservative has been found to be problematic when used in the nose, specifically to cause rhinitis medicamentosum. Additive problems have become so prevalent that the Dannemiller Memorial Educational Foundation now specially trains its doctors on this topic. The training emphasizes that additives can be particularly irritating to those with allergies or sinus infections. Additional information is readily available in medical literature on problems that can be caused by Benzalkonium.

General:
- To use Breathe-Ease XL in a refillable nasal spray bottle:
- Fill the 1/4-teaspoon side of the measuring spoon (included) with Breathe-Ease XL powder and add to 4 ozs of previously boiled or bottled water before pouring into spray bottle. Use of spray:
- Nose bleed ‐ 3 to 4X daily
- Colored discharge ‐ 3 to 4X daily
- For dry weather ‐ twice daily
- For smog days ‐ 2 to 3X daily
- To prevent nosebleeds ‐ twice daily
- When mixing the standard isotonic solution, 190 grams of powder is enough to make 150 refill solutions when used as a spray, or about a 60-day supply when used for irrigation.
- To use Breathe-Ease XL in the Grossan Hydro Pulse™ Sinus Irrigation System:
- Fill the one-teaspoon side of the measuring spoon (included) with Breathe-Ease XL powder and add to the irrigator's reservoir. Fill the reservoir with lukewarm water to the 500 cc mark (about 16 ozs). Mix until all powder is dissolved, and replace the reservoir on the base. (Alternatively you can use one (1) pre-mixed packet of Breathe-Ease XL, following the same directions).
- When mixing the standard isotonic solution, 190 grams of powder is enough to make about 33 refill solutions when used in Hydro Pulse.
- For those who need a higher saline content, the formula can safely be mixed as a hypertonic solution by adding more mix (the manufacturer suggests 3-times the standard amount of powder).
- It is recommended that sterile, distilled, filtered (0.2 micron filter) or previously boiled water (cooled to lukewarm, room or body temperature) be used in irrigation devices to prevent the introduction of impurities into the nasal and sinus passages.
