From treatment to prevention: The new direction of nasal care

Healthcare trends in Australia are shifting from reactive treatment to preventive maintenance and nasal care is following the same path.

Traditionally, people turned to medicated sprays only when congestion became severe. Today, there is growing awareness of medication overuse and rebound congestion risks. As a result, many are adopting routine, non-medicated nasal care practices.

Preventive nasal care can include:
- Saline cleansing to remove irritants and allergens
- Moisture support to protect nasal lining
- Barrier support around the nostrils during dry or polluted conditions
- Gentle daily hygiene instead of emergency relief

Think of it like dental care. We don’t wait for tooth pain before brushing, we maintain daily protection. Nasal care is moving into that same preventive category.

For employers, wellness leaders, and health brands, this presents an opportunity: education around nasal maintenance is still early-stage, but interest is rising quickly. Those who explain it clearly and practically will lead the conversation.

Breathing is automatic. Breathing well is a skill.

Across Australia, sleep specialists and performance coaches are spotlighting something simple but powerful: how you breathe matters just as much as how much you breathe.

👃 Nasal breathing supports:
• Natural air filtration
• Moisture balance that protects airway tissues
• Nitric oxide production for better oxygen uptake
• A steady, regulated breathing rhythm

👄 Habitual mouth breathing is linked to:
• Dry mouth and throat irritation
• Increased snoring risk
• Poor air conditioning
• Fragmented sleep

That’s why nasal function is now part of conversations around sleep optimisation, endurance, and even cognitive performance.

The shift? Proactive nasal maintenance keeping passages clear and hydrated, not just reacting when blocked.

Small habit. Compounding benefits.

Nasal health is often overlooked, but it directly impacts how you breathe, sleep, and feel every day.

In Australia, allergens, bushfire smoke, pollution, and dry air can irritate the nasal passages, leading to congestion, dryness, and mouth breathing. Yet the nose plays a critical role because it filters harmful particles, humidifies incoming air, and supports your immune defense.

When nasal function is compromised, the body compensates, often resulting in poorer sleep, fatigue, and reduced breathing efficiency.

Nasal care isn’t just about relieving symptoms. It’s about protecting your respiratory health before problems begin.

"I didn’t realise how much my nose affected my sleep"

We hear this line a lot from our community.

Most people blame screens, stress, or late-night coffee for poor sleep but your nose could be playing a bigger role than you think.

Why?
Dry air, nasal congestion, or habitual mouth breathing can subtly disrupt the flow of oxygen overnight. On hot Australian nights, with fans or air-conditioning running constantly, the nasal passages often dry out further, making it harder to breathe comfortably while you sleep. Over time, even mild disruptions can affect sleep quality, leaving you tired, irritable, or foggy in the morning without any signs of illness.

How to check:
Before reaching for another cup of coffee or sleep aid, ask yourself:
“How was I breathing overnight?”

Small changes can make a big difference:
- Stay hydrated, especially during summer heatwaves.
- Use gentle nasal support at night to keep passages clear.
- Using a nasal decongestant before sleep to assist with clearing slight nasal congestion.
- Reviewing your head sleep position.
- Using Nadu Mouth Tape to assist with gentle mouth closure and nasal breathing during sleep.
- Reduce bedroom air dryness with a humidifier or by adjusting fan/AC settings.
- Practice nasal breathing during the day, your body learns what to do at night.

Reminder: Supporting nasal comfort is not just about easing congestion, it’s a practical, proactive step toward better sleep hygiene.

Children’s sleep is closely linked to how well they breathe at night. Dry air, allergies, and minor congestion can disrupt nasal comfort leading to restless nights, mouth breathing, and poor-quality sleep.

At Nadu, we focus on gentle, functional solutions that support healthy breathing and better rest.

The Nadu Refresh Nasal Spritz is a non-medicated, lightweight nasal mist designed to hydrate and soothe sensitive nasal passages, making it ideal for children who experience sleep issues related to nasal discomfort.

Key Benefits:
- Relieves nasal dryness and irritation
- Supports clearer, easier breathing
- Encourages nasal (not mouth) breathing
- Gentle and safe for regular use
- Easy to use as part of bedtime routines

By improving nasal comfort before sleep, the Refresh Nasal Spritz helps children breathe more easily, sleep more deeply, and wake feeling refreshed.

Because better sleep begins with better breathing.

Can sunburn make you sick? Surprisingly… Yes (indirectly). ☀️🤧

Sunburn doesn’t cause a cold or flu but it can make it easier for you to get sick.

Here’s why:
When your skin is damaged by strong UV, your body shifts energy into repairing it.
That temporarily lowers your immune defences for about 1–3 days.

Now add summer:
More travel. More people. More germs.

So if you’ve recently been exposed to a virus, that short immune dip gives it a better chance to take hold.

What to do after sunburn:
• Drink more water
• Sleep well
• Avoid alcohol + intense workouts
• Cool and moisturise your skin
• Stay sun-protected
• Keep distance from sick people

Bottom line:
Sunburn doesn’t give you the flu but it can make your body less ready to fight one.

At Nadu, we believe frontline health starts with everyday protection.

Nose Breathing: Why It Matters More in the Peak of Summer

Did you know mouth breathing becomes more common in hot, smoky, or allergy-heavy environments?

When air quality drops or nasal passages dry, breathing through the mouth often becomes the default. But nose breathing is designed to filter, warm, and humidify air especially important when dust, pollen, and heat stress peak.

This summer in Australia has already seen above-average temperatures and mixed rainfall forecasts, which influence air quality and pollen exposure. When you mouth-breathe, you bypass your body’s first line of defence and that can increase dryness, irritation, and downstream respiratory discomfort.

Try this small shift:
Before each meal or meeting, take three conscious nose breaths and notice the difference.

Nobody expects you to perfect your breathing overnight but supporting nasal comfort helps you stay cool and comfortable all summer.

Most of us think about breathing too late

We usually only notice our breathing when something feels off - a blocked nose, poor sleep, constant dryness.

But here’s the part that’s often missed: your nose is doing critical work every single breath.

It filters airborne particles.
It warms and humidifies the air.
It protects the lungs before they ever get involved.

When nasal health is compromised by dry air, allergens, or habitual mouth breathing, the body compensates. And over time, that compensation shows up as fatigue, disrupted sleep, or frequent irritation.

Nasal health isn’t a niche topic. It’s fundamental.

Signs your nasal health is slipping

Most people don’t notice until it becomes a problem:
- Frequent congestion
- Snoring or mouth breathing at night
- Decreased sense of smell
- Afternoon slump/fatigue
- Post-nasal drip
- Difficulty focusing

These are not just “minor annoyances” - they affect sleep, productivity, and overall performance.

Cognitive performance is deeply tied to oxygen efficiency. Nasal obstruction - even mild - can reduce:
- Focus
- Memory
- Decision-making
- Energy stability

Workforces that breathe better perform better.
