Pronto’s dual action design combines a nasal dilator with vapors of a blend of pure essential oils.
A new solution already on the retail scene comes from RhinoMed, which makes the nasal dilator Mute for snoring. The company just released the Pronto, which is a vapor inhaler with dual action. It both opens the nose to improve airflow and delivers soothing vapors from essential oil blends, helping both to foster natural, uninterrupted sleep and to clear nasal stuffiness, according to RhinoMed.
