We spend 30% of our time sleeping. The ideal temperature in a bedroom to wake up well-rested is no warmer than 20° C (68° F), but also keep in mind the air we breathe in while we're sleeping. These are all factors that affect your cognitive performance, and should always be a priority if you want to preserve your long-term health and well-being.

Coughing is a protective mechanism by the body to free the windpipe or lungs of substances that can obstruct them, like catarrh, or irritate them, as can happen with cigarette smoke. There are various types of cough; let's learn to recognize them together and treat them with a few simple remedies. What are you waiting for?

Sinusitis, rhinitis, sore throat, laryngitis and ear infections: five different names to describe inflammation of your airways. What's the remedy? From a Turkish bath for the nose to treatment with antibiotics, we'll show you all the different choices you have to deal with these different forms of inflammation, which often occur in the winter. If you've got an infection, though, you'll need to see the doctor.

We all know that we need to take good care of our airways, but what's the best thing to use? Let's find out together what choices there are, based on the condition: from nasal rinsing to guard against colds, nasal washing for rhinitis, to nebulizing for more serious inflammation and asthma.

You heard right: nebulizing is the right, although not the only, solution for treating allergic forms of asthma or lung infections, especially if your child suffers from these conditions. Let's find out which drugs are recommended for treating them.

So you want to buy a nebulizer? There are a lot of different models on the market: some are quicker, some more efficient, while some make more noise and some are less costly. Let's choose the right one for you together.

Interesting fact: there are over 200 cold viruses that are constantly mutating. They're like an army of pathogens that take advantage of weakened immune systems. They cause problems and can be found in lots of different places; it's pretty obvious that the airways are still the favourite place for cold viruses to establish themselves.

Nebulization therapy is a technology that has changed medication for respiratory conditions: compared to taking it orally, it provides complete absorption of the drugs, almost 100%, and it's less invasive than an injection. However, the effectiveness of nebulizing depends largely on the type of medication being used.

Allergy is an abnormal reaction by the body when it's been exposed to certain substances, either by inhaling or swallowing, injection or touch. It results in an excessive production of antibodies and various symptoms, both respiratory or of the skin. Allergies are becoming increasingly common and can start at any age, as well as often being hereditary.
