New, All Natural Luffeel(R) Nasal Spray Introduced to U.S. Market

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., July 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Heel, one of the largest homeopathic pharmaceutical manufacturers in the world, announced the introduction of Luffeel(R) nasal spray to the U.S. market. Luffeel is an all natural homeopathic drug for seasonal allergies that affect an estimated 40 million people in the U.S. annually.

Unlike conventional over-the-counter allergy medications (antihistamines, steroidal nasal sprays, etc.) that primarily suppress symptoms, Luffeel nasal spray supports the body's natural response and works to minimize over-reactivity of the immune system that leads to allergic reactions.

There is clinical research to prove the effectiveness of Luffeel in patients with seasonal rhinitis. In a randomized equivalency trial, 146 patients with symptoms of hay fever were treated either with Luffa compositum nasal spray (now sold as Luffeel) or cromolyn sodium nasal spray (sold in the U.S. as Nasalcrom(R)). A significant and clinically relevant decrease in symptoms was reported in both groups, with tolerability rated excellent. It was determined that treatment of seasonal rhinitis (hay fever) with Luffa compositum (Luffeel) is as safe and effective as conventional treatment with the allopathic solution of cromolyn sodium (Nasalcrom(R))(1).

Luffeel combines four all natural active ingredients in a saline spray to provide temporary relief from itchy and watery eyes, sneezing and runny nose and nasal congestion resulting from allergic irritants.

Available through health food stores, pharmacies and prescribing physicians, Luffeel nasal spray is safe and effective for all ages, with no risk of side-effects or habituation, while being safe to use in conjunction with other medications.
