Ventilation nasal patches, as the name suggests, are used to clear nasal congestion. In life, we are bound to catch a cold, and when we have a cold, the nose is easily blocked.

3. The ventilating nasal patch can effectively improve nasal ventilation, improve or strengthen breathing, and temporarily relieve nasal obstruction and nasal congestion caused by colds, rhinitis, and deviated nasal septum. It can not only make breathing smoother, but also improve sleep disorders caused by nasal obstruction, reduce snoring, etc.
