In today's world, there's a rising fear of falling victim to harmful bacteria and viruses, which can cause serious health problems and even lead to death. With the easy spread of these bad actors, especially through the air, it's crucial to find ways to protect ourselves. One spot particularly vulnerable to these health hazards is the nose. That's why HOLISTA BIOTECH's new patent, number US20230321158A1, is such exciting news.
Our nose is an entry point to our body for many unwelcome germs - a door that, until now, we've been unable to shut. If we could find a way to protect our noses from these marauders, we could greatly reduce the risk of catching a potentially debilitating disease.
But doing this is not as easy as it sounds. Any potential solution needs to be safe, non-irritating, easy to apply and remove, smell-free, and should not hamper the normal function of the nose. Handling this looming issue, HOLISTA BIOTECH's newly patented 'NasalBalm' seems to be an answer.
As laid out in the patent, the NasalBalm works as a defendive lining within the nasal cavity. It is a mix of plant oils, extracts from the shea tree, aloe vera, wax, and a substance called chitosan. This blend can safeguard the nose from harmful germs and has qualities that make it ideal for nasal use: it’s effective, non-toxic, non-irritating, has no odour, washes off easily, and doesn't interfere with the functioning of the nose. Furthermore, the NasalBalm is composed of natural ingredients, making it not only safe but also environmentally friendly.
Just imagine a world where, with a simple application of this balm, you could protect yourself from a host of nasty germs, much in the same way as you do when you wash your hands or sanitize surfaces. Envision walking through crowded streets, getting on a packed subway, or braving the recycled air of an airplane without fear of what germs you might be breathing in. That's the potential of this newly patented product.
Importantly though, as exciting as this invention is, it's worth noting that this is still a patent, and there's no guarantee that it'll soon appear in the market, if ever. But the ideas and advancement it represents are worth understanding, as they showcase the innovative ways we are tackling the challenge of keeping ourselves safe from airborne pathogens. And who knows? It might only be a matter of time before we are all able to breathe easy, knowing our noses are protected by something akin to the NasalBalm patent.
