Answer:
4.5 to 6.5
The nose is one of the five sense organs of our body and is the gateway to our respiratory system. It has a significant impact on defending our bodies against potentially contagious microorganisms and plays a crucial role in maintaining good health.
Relevance of the proper pH
- A pH imbalance might make your nose sting.
- A higher pH can cause fungal infection in your nose.
- An imbalanced pH, if not harmful, can at least reduce the efficacy of the nasal drop being administered.
- Unformulated products like Neilmed have a higher pH of 7.4 or more
- Formulated products like Rhinase, Flonase, and Rhinocort pH have a pH of around 6.4. This is because a healthy nose's pH is slightly acidic.
Being the gateway to our respiratory system, the nose can be the precursor to some allergies or serious illnesses like asthma and acute bronchitis. It is therefore important to pay serious attention to nasal hygiene and keep the pH of nasal drops being administered, in check.
