How can Flo Travel help?

This hydrating nasal spray with red seaweed may help:

• keep the nose moist to maintain normal nasal functioning
• support the nose’s natural action again common colds
• wash away nasal irritants and allergens in the nose
• minimises nasal dryness and crusting.

Why do people often catch colds when travelling?

Normally the mucus layer that covers the nasal tissues remains moist and breathed in viruses, bacteria and irritants are trapped and carried to the back of the throat, swallowed and then destroyed by the stomach’s acids.

However, cooler temperatures and lower humidity experienced in airplane cabins or air-conditioned environments are factors that can affect how the nose normally functions. The cooler temperatures slow down mucus transportation in the nose and the lower humidity causes nasal dryness.

Planes are fitted with very efficient air filtration systems, which extract many common airborne viruses, so exposure to these viruses is reduced. However, when travellers leave the plane, they often enter areas where there are no air filtration systems (or less efficient systems). Places like airport lounges, hotels or offices are also constantly air-conditioned which means they too can affect how the nose normally functions. With no air filtration systems, cooler temperatures and lower humidity, a person’s nasal functioning is diminished and resistance to cold viruses may be lowered.

What’s special about Flo Travel?

Flo Travel consists of 2 main ingredients that can support normal nasal functioning:

• Carrageenan (red seaweed extract) which binds to nasal tissues and helps retain moisture
• Isotonic, preservative-free saline which helps gently wash away excess mucus including irritants and allergens in the nose.
