Your Nose Is Your Body's Air Filter (Here's How to Clean It)

Every day, you breathe in roughly 10,000 to 15,000 liters of air — more on active days. That air isn't clean — it carries dust, pollen, mold spores, bacteria, vehicle exhaust, and whatever else is floating around your environment. Before any of it reaches your lungs, it passes through a filter: your nose.

Like any filter, it works better when it's cleaned. Here's how the system works, what happens when it gets overwhelmed, and what cleaning it actually involves.

The Clair Starter Kit makes that cleaning step simple: a physician-developed electric nasal rinse device that flushes dust, pollen, and other trapped particles from your nasal passages in one quick daily rinse.

Like any filter, yours needs fresh supplies to keep working well — Tip + Saline Refill Packs keep clean tips and pre-measured saline sachets on hand, so your daily clean never misses a day.
