Abstract

Many people experience problems with a dry nasal mucous membrane, often without wondering why. Their noses itch and burn and dried mucus collects there. These problems are exacerbated during the winter, in air-conditioned environments and after nasal irradiation. Twenty patients experiencing problems with dryness of the nose were selected from outpatient clinics, together with twenty patients who had previously undergone nasal irradiation. During the first five days no treatment was administered. For the following twenty days the patients sprayed sesame oil into each nostril three times a day. For the last five days no treatment was given. When both groups received treatment and sprayed sesame oil (Nozoil) in their noses, the nasal problems decreased significantly. The greatest effect is exerted on dryness. The side effects from using this oil are few in number and mild.
