FACEFORMER FAQ - Antworten auf häufige Fragen
How do I use FACEFORMER with a blocked nose for cold or hay fever?
Question
I am an allergy sufferer and especially in spring and summer I suffer considerably from the symptoms of hay fever with a dripping or blocked nose. Normal breathing through the nose is then often difficult. Can I still use FACEFORMER and do the exercises?
Answer
FACEFORMER Therapy is a preventive method that can generally protect against allergic reactions. However, if the nose is completely blocked, FF Therapy cannot be used temporarily.
In the case of acute allergic reactions, such as hay fever during the pollen season or a cold with impairment of the nasal airways, FACEFORMER can only be used if sufficient air is still being breathed through the nose into the airways. Nasal breathing will then improve continuously because FACEFORMER therapy causes the swelling of the nasal mucous membrane to subside. If the nose is completely blocked, FF Therapy cannot be carried out temporarily.
During allergic reactions, e.g. to pollen, the body releases histamines in the form of so-called exposures, which lead to sticky eyes, sniffing and scratching in the nose, stuffy nose, mouth breathing, night-time coughing, snoring.
Allergy sufferers experience, mostly seasonally, stressful allergy attacks. In order to reduce the severity of these attacks, patients should start FACEFORMER Therapy a few months before the onset of these reactions to optimize nasal breathing and stabilize the body’s defense system. Although the allergic reactions affect the nasal mucous membrane, among other things, the nose is not the central point of origin. First and foremost, allergens reach the upper and lower respiratory tract completely unfiltered and unimpeded by mouth breathing. The distribution of allergens (or bacteria in the case of a cold) takes place from here and causes both the closure of the airways and bronchial asthma reactions.
It is therefore a major goal of prematurely applied FF therapy to prevent this condition from developing in the first place, because stable, automated nasal breathing is established and general defence mechanisms are strengthened. Accordingly, FACEFORMER Therapy is a preventive measure which can generally protect you from allergic reactions.
