　ところで、特許文献１では、発熱体の組成物として、いわゆる使い捨てカイロ（化学カイロ）で使用されている発熱組成物が挙げられている。しかしながら、一般的に、化学カイロは、外気に接触してから、十分に昇温するのに、ある程度時間がかかる。従って、特許文献１の鼻パックを装着しても、鼻づまりが解消するまでに時間がかかることになり、寝付きの改善にはならない。


By the way, in patent document 1, as a composition of a heating element, the exothermic composition used by what is called a disposable body warmer (chemical body warmer) is mentioned. However, in general, it takes some time for the chemical warmer to sufficiently raise the temperature after coming into contact with the outside air. Therefore, even if the nose pack of Patent Document 1 is attached, it takes time until the stuffy nose is cleared, and the sleepiness is not improved.





　本発明は、上記事情に鑑み、鼻づまりを速やかに解消して寝付きを良くすることを技術的課題とする。

With this configuration, since the nasal cavity can be expanded by the elastic member, the effect of eliminating stuffy nose can be enhanced.





　上記の構成において、一対の前記収容部の中心間の距離が、５５ｍｍ～９０ｍｍであってもよい。


In the above structure, the distance between the centers of the pair of accommodating portions may be 55 mm to 90 mm.





　この構成であれば、刺激すると鼻づまりに効果があるとされる「鼻通」と呼ばれるツボの上に、収容部を配置することが可能になる。これにより、「鼻通」を温めることができ、鼻づまりを解消する効果を高めることが可能になる。また、連結部に弾性部材が配設されている場合には、収容部が「鼻通」上に位置すると、鼻の側壁を外側に引っ張るのに適切な位置に弾性部材を配置することが可能になる。


With this configuration, it is possible to arrange the accommodation portion on the acupuncture point called “nasal passage”, which is said to be effective for stuffy nose when stimulated. As a result, the "nasal passage" can be warmed and the effect of eliminating stuffy nose can be enhanced.

The overall shape of the front side sheet member 6, the back side sheet member 7, the adhesive layer 8, and the peeling member 9 in plan view gradually increases from the central position in the longitudinal direction to the central position of the accommodating portion 2 in the longitudinal direction. The end portion side of the accommodation portion 2 in the longitudinal direction is circular in shape.





　粘着層８は、裏側シート部材７の裏面に形成されている。剥離部材９は、粘着層８に対して剥離可能な状態で、粘着層８の裏面に取り付けられている。なお、本実施形態では、粘着層８は、裏側シート部材７の裏面の全域に形成されているが、一部領域のみに形成されてもよい。


The adhesive layer 8 is formed on the back surface of the back sheet member 7. The peeling member 9 is attached to the back surface of the adhesive layer 8 so as to be peelable from the adhesive layer 8. In the present embodiment, the adhesive layer 8 is formed on the entire back surface of the back sheet member 7, but may be formed only on a partial area.





　化学発熱組成物４は、いわゆる使い捨てカイロ（化学カイロ）で使用されている発熱組成物である。この化学発熱組成物４は、金属の酸化熱を利用するものであり、一般に、鉄粉等の金属粉、食塩等の金属ハロゲン化物、水、活性炭粉末、および保水材等を含有している。また、化学発熱組成物４は、最高発熱温度を制御する温度制御剤（例えば、特許第６２７３４８１号公報参照）等を更に含有してもよい。


The chemical exothermic composition 4 is an exothermic composition used in a so-called disposable body warmer (chemical body warmer). The chemical exothermic composition 4 utilizes the heat of oxidation of metal and generally contains metal powder such as iron powder, metal halide such as salt, water, activated carbon powder, and water retention material. Further, the chemical exothermic composition 4 may further contain a temperature control agent for controlling the maximum exothermic temperature (see, for example, Japanese Patent No. 6273481).





　また、本実施形態では、化学発熱組成物４が、原料を打錠成形することにより製造された打錠成形体である。なお、打錠成形とは、打錠機で、原料を加圧して錠剤の形状にすることである。打錠成形体の形は、収容部２の内部空間の形状に即した、低い高さの略円柱状（平面視で円形状）である。しかし、打錠成形体の形状は、これに限定されず、例えば、角柱状等であってもよい。また、化学発熱組成物４は、打錠成形体に限定されず、粉末状等であってもよい。


Further, in the present embodiment, the chemical exothermic composition 4 is a tablet-molded article produced by tablet-molding the raw material. In addition, tableting means pressing a raw material into a tablet shape with a tableting machine. The shape of the tablet-molded body is a substantially cylindrical shape having a low height (circular shape in plan view) according to the shape of the internal space of the housing 2. However, the shape of the tablet molding is not limited to this, and may be, for example, a prismatic shape. Further, the chemical exothermic composition 4 is not limited to a tablet-molded product, and may be in a powder form or the like.





　化学発熱組成物４の平面視での面積は、例えば２００ｍｍ2～５００ｍｍ2であり、２５０ｍｍ2～４５０ｍｍ2がより好ましく、３００ｍｍ2～４００ｍｍ2が最も好ましい。化学発熱組成物４の平面視での面積が、２００ｍｍ2より小さい場合、鼻づまり解消効果が十分に得られなくなる可能性がある。化学発熱組成物４の平面視での面積が、５００ｍｍ2を超える場合、化学発熱組成物４が多量に必要になり、製造コストが増大する可能性がある。


Area in plan view of the chemical exothermic composition 4 is, for example, 200 mm 2 ~ 500 mm 2, more preferably 250mm 2 ~ 450mm 2, 300mm 2 ~ 400mm 2 being most preferred. When the area of the chemical exothermic composition 4 in plan view is smaller than 200 mm 2 , the effect of eliminating stuffy nose may not be sufficiently obtained. When the area of the chemical exothermic composition 4 in plan view exceeds 500 mm 2 , a large amount of the chemical exothermic composition 4 is required, which may increase the manufacturing cost.





　表側シート部材６、裏側シート部材７は、通気性を有する材料であり、例えば、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン等を使用した不織布等で構成される。本実施形態では、表側シート部材６と裏側シート部材７は、同一の材料であるが、異なる材料であってもよい。


The front-side sheet member 6 and the back-side sheet member 7 are air-permeable materials, and are made of, for example, a nonwoven fabric using polyethylene, polypropylene, or the like. In this embodiment, the front sheet member 6 and the back sheet member 7 are made of the same material, but may be made of different materials.





　表側シート部材６、裏側シート部材７の透湿度は、６００ｇ／（ｍ2・２４ｈ）～２００００ｇ／（ｍ2・２４ｈ）であり、１０００ｇ／（ｍ2・２４ｈ）～１００００ｇ／（ｍ2・２４ｈ）がより好ましく、２０００ｇ／（ｍ2・２４ｈ）～８０００ｇ／（ｍ2・２４ｈ）が最も好ましい。透湿度が６００ｇ／（ｍ2・２４ｈ）未満の場合、化学発熱組成物４が速やかに昇温せず、鼻づまりを速やかに解消できなくなる可能性がある。透湿度が２００００ｇ／（ｍ2・２４ｈ）を超える場合、化学発熱組成物４の発熱反応が進み過ぎて発熱時間が短くなる可能性がある。


Face sheet member 6, the moisture permeability of the backsheet member 7 is 600g / (m 2 · 24h) ~ 20000g / (m 2 · 24h), 1000g / (m 2 · 24h) ~ 10000g / (m 2 · 24h ) Is more preferable, and 2000 g/(m 2 ·24 h) to 8000 g/(m 2 ·24 h) is the most preferable. When the moisture vapor transmission rate is less than 600 g/(m 2 ·24 h), the temperature of the chemically exothermic composition 4 does not rise rapidly, and there is a possibility that the stuffy nose cannot be eliminated quickly. When the moisture vapor transmission rate exceeds 20000 g/(m 2 ·24 h), the exothermic reaction of the chemical exothermic composition 4 may proceed too much and the exothermic time may be shortened.





　発熱温度（肌側となる温度）に関する特性として、立ち上がり時間（本実施形態では、３１．５℃から３９．９℃になるまでの時間）、最高温度、持続時間（本実施形態では、４０℃以上になっている間の時間）がある。ここで、発熱温度の測定方法は、ＪＩＳ　Ｓ　４１００の「通常法」に準拠する（以下、同様）。


The characteristics relating to the exothermic temperature (temperature on the skin side) include rising time (in this embodiment, time from 31.5° C. to 39.9° C.), maximum temperature, and duration (40° C. in this embodiment). There is time) while it is above. Here, the method of measuring the exothermic temperature complies with the “normal method” of JIS S 4100 (hereinafter the same).





　立ち上がり時間は、例えば６０秒以内が好ましく、５０秒以内がより好ましく、４０秒以内が最も好ましい。立ち上がり時間が、６０秒を超えると、鼻通り改善具１を装着後、鼻づまりを速やかに解消することが難しくなる可能性がある。


The rise time is preferably, for example, 60 seconds or less, more preferably 50 seconds or less, and most preferably 40 seconds or less. If the rising time exceeds 60 seconds, it may be difficult to quickly eliminate the nasal congestion after mounting the nose passing improvement device 1.





　最高温度は、例えば４３℃～６５℃が好ましく、４３℃～６０℃がより好ましく、４３℃～５５℃が最も好ましい。最高温度が、４３℃未満の場合、血流を良くするために必要とされる約４３℃にならない。最高温度が、６５℃を超える場合、低温火傷の可能性があると共に、発熱時間が短くなる可能性がある。


The maximum temperature is, for example, preferably 43°C to 65°C, more preferably 43°C to 60°C, most preferably 43°C to 55°C. If the maximum temperature is less than 43°C, it does not reach about 43°C required for good blood flow. If the maximum temperature is higher than 65°C, there is a possibility of low-temperature burns and a short period of heat generation.





　持続時間は、例えば１０分～３時間が好ましく、１０分～２時間がより好ましく、１０分～１時間が最も好ましい。持続時間が、１０分未満の場合、鼻づまり解消効果が十分に得られなくなる可能性がある。持続時間が、３時間を超える場合、低温火傷の可能性があると共に、化学発熱組成物４が多量に必要になり、製造コストが増大する可能性がある。


The duration is, for example, 10 minutes to 3 hours, preferably 10 minutes to 2 hours, and most preferably 10 minutes to 1 hour. If the duration is less than 10 minutes, the effect of eliminating stuffy nose may not be sufficiently obtained. When the duration is more than 3 hours, there is a possibility of low-temperature burn and a large amount of the chemical exothermic composition 4, which may increase the manufacturing cost.





　本実施形態では、収容部２の表側シート部材６の突出部６ａを介して化学発熱組成物４が空気と接触するので、この突出部６ａが、化学発熱組成物４を空気に接触させるための通気部となる。


In the present embodiment, the chemical exothermic composition 4 comes into contact with air via the projecting portion 6a of the front side sheet member 6 of the accommodating portion 2, so that the projecting portion 6a serves to bring the chemical exothermic composition 4 into contact with air. It becomes a ventilation part.





　弾性部材５の形状や材質は、装着した時に鼻の側壁を外側に引っ張ることが可能であれば特に限定されない。図１の図示例では、弾性部材５の形状は、長尺の板状であり、平面視で矩形状である。また、弾性部材５の材質としては、例えば、ポリエステル等の合成樹脂等が使用できる。


The shape and material of the elastic member 5 are not particularly limited as long as the side wall of the nose can be pulled outward when it is worn. In the illustrated example of FIG. 1, the shape of the elastic member 5 is a long plate shape and a rectangular shape in a plan view. Further, as the material of the elastic member 5, for example, synthetic resin such as polyester can be used.





　平面視での一対の収容部２（化学発熱組成物４）の中心の間の距離ｄは、例えば５５ｍｍ～９０ｍｍであり、６０ｍｍ～８５ｍｍがより好ましく、６５ｍｍ～８０ｍｍが最も好ましい。距離ｄが５５ｍｍ未満の場合も、９０ｍｍを超える場合も、刺激すると鼻づまりに効果があるとされる「鼻通」と呼ばれるツボの上に、収容部を配置することが難しくなる可能性がある。


The distance d between the centers of the pair of accommodating portions 2 (chemical exothermic composition 4) in plan view is, for example, 55 mm to 90 mm, more preferably 60 mm to 85 mm, and most preferably 65 mm to 80 mm. Whether the distance d is less than 55 mm or more than 90 mm, it may be difficult to arrange the accommodation portion on the acupuncture point called “nasal passage” which is said to be effective for stuffy nose when stimulated.





　鼻通り改善具１は、使用前には、非通気性の材質の袋体（不図示）の内部に入れ、密封して保管する。鼻通り改善具１を使用する際には、鼻通り改善具１をこの袋体から取り出し、裏側の剥離部材９を剥離し、図２に示すように、粘着層８を鼻部に貼り付けることにより装着する。図示例では、一対の収容部２（化学発熱組成物４）の中心が、「鼻通」と呼ばれるツボの上に配置されている。


Before use, the nasal passage improvement device 1 is placed inside a bag (not shown) made of a non-breathable material, sealed and stored. When using the nasal passage improvement device 1, remove the nasal passage improvement device 1 from the bag, peel off the peeling member 9 on the back side, and attach the adhesive layer 8 to the nose portion as shown in FIG. To be installed. In the illustrated example, the center of the pair of accommodation portions 2 (chemically exothermic composition 4) is arranged on the acupuncture point called “nasal passage”.





　以上のように構成された本実施形態の鼻通り改善具１では、表側シート部材６の透湿度が、６００ｇ／（ｍ2・２４ｈ）～２００００ｇ／（ｍ2・２４ｈ）であるので、化学発熱組成物４が速やかに空気に接触することが可能になる。従って、化学発熱組成物４が、速やかに昇温することが可能になる。これにより、装着後、鼻づまりを速やかに解消することが可能になり、寝付きを良くすることが可能になる。


In the nose as improved instrument 1 of this embodiment configured as described above, the moisture permeability of the face sheet member 6, since it is 600g / (m 2 · 24h) ~ 20000g / (m 2 · 24h), the exothermic heat generating The composition 4 can quickly contact the air. Therefore, the chemically exothermic composition 4 can be quickly heated. As a result, it becomes possible to quickly eliminate the stuffy nose after mounting and improve sleep comfortably.





　本発明は、上記実施形態に限定されるものでは無く、その技術的思想の範囲内で、様々な変形が可能である。例えば、上記実施形態では、化学発熱組成物４を表側シート部材６の突出部６ａと裏側シート部材７の間に収容していたが、図３（Ａ）に示すように、化学発熱組成物４を予め収容した通気性の袋部材１０を、表側シート部材６の突出部６ａと裏側シート部材７の間に、収容してもよい。この場合は、袋部材１０と突出部６ａと裏側シート部材７が、化学発熱組成物４を収容する収容部となり、袋部材１０と突出部６ａが、化学発熱組成物４を空気に接触させるための通気部となる。


The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the technical idea thereof. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the chemical exothermic composition 4 is housed between the projecting portion 6a of the front sheet member 6 and the back sheet member 7, but as shown in FIG. The breathable bag member 10 in which is previously stored may be stored between the protruding portion 6 a of the front side sheet member 6 and the back side sheet member 7. In this case, the bag member 10, the protruding portion 6a, and the back sheet member 7 serve as a containing portion for containing the chemically exothermic composition 4, and the bag member 10 and the protruding portion 6a bring the chemically exothermic composition 4 into contact with air. It becomes the ventilation part of.





　また、図３（Ｂ）に示すように、化学発熱組成物４を予め収容した通気性の袋部材１０を、裏側の粘着層１１により、表側シート部材６に貼り付けて固定してもよい。この場合は、袋部材１０が、化学発熱組成物４を収容する収容部となり、袋部材１０が、化学発熱組成物４を空気に接触させるための通気部となる。また、この場合には、表側シート部材６と裏側シート部材７は、非通気性の材料であってもよい。


Further, as shown in FIG. 3B, the breathable bag member 10 containing the chemical exothermic composition 4 in advance may be attached and fixed to the front sheet member 6 by the back side adhesive layer 11. In this case, the bag member 10 serves as a housing portion for housing the chemically exothermic composition 4, and the bag member 10 serves as a ventilation portion for bringing the chemically exothermic composition 4 into contact with air. Further, in this case, the front side sheet member 6 and the back side sheet member 7 may be made of a non-breathable material.





　更に、この場合には、鼻通り改善具１の使用前には、袋部材１０の粘着層１１に剥離部材（不図示）を取り付け、袋部材１０を非通気性の材質の袋体（不図示）の内部に入れて密封して保管し、鼻通り改善具１を使用する際に、袋部材１０をこの袋体から取り出し、剥離部材を剥離し、表側シート部材６に貼り付けて固定するようにしてもよい。


Further, in this case, before the nose passing improvement device 1 is used, a peeling member (not shown) is attached to the adhesive layer 11 of the bag member 10 to attach the bag member 10 to a bag body (not shown) of a non-air-permeable material. ), it is sealed and stored, and when the nose passing improvement device 1 is used, the bag member 10 is taken out from this bag body, the peeling member is peeled off, and the front side sheet member 6 is stuck and fixed. You may





　本願の発明者は、本発明に係る鼻通り改善具１に関連して、化学発熱組成物４の発熱温度を評価した。


The inventor of the present application evaluated the exothermic temperature of the chemically exothermic composition 4 in relation to the nose passing improvement device 1 according to the present invention.





　評価に使用するサンプルＳは、上記実施形態（図１参照）とは異なり、図４に示すように、化学発熱組成物４を収容した収容部２を１つ備えるものであり、連結部３、弾性部材５を備えていない。その他の点については、上記実施形態と同様なので、同一の構成には、同一の符号を付し、詳細な説明は省略する。なお、評価する際には、剥離部材９は剥離して、粘着層８でサンプルＳを計測装置に設置した。


Unlike the above-described embodiment (see FIG. 1 ), the sample S used for evaluation includes one accommodating portion 2 accommodating the chemically exothermic composition 4, as shown in FIG. The elastic member 5 is not provided. Since the other points are the same as those of the above-described embodiment, the same components are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. At the time of evaluation, the peeling member 9 was peeled off, and the sample S was placed on the measuring device with the adhesive layer 8.





　化学発熱組成物４は、円柱形状の打錠成形体のものを使用した。打錠成形体の重量は、１ｇ、直径１５ｍｍ、高さ５ｍｍであった。化学発熱組成物４の成分は、鉄粉３０～４０重量％、食塩１～５重量％、水２０～３０重量％、活性炭粉末１～５重量％、保水材１０～２０重量％、温度制御剤１０～２０重量％であった。


As the chemical exothermic composition 4, a columnar tablet-formed product was used. The tablet compact had a weight of 1 g, a diameter of 15 mm and a height of 5 mm. The components of the chemical exothermic composition 4 are 30 to 40% by weight of iron powder, 1 to 5% by weight of salt, 20 to 30% by weight of water, 1 to 5% by weight of activated carbon powder, 10 to 20% by weight of water retention material, and temperature control agent. It was 10 to 20% by weight.





　表側シート部材６と裏側シート部材７の透湿度は、８０００ｇ／（ｍ2・２４ｈ）であった。


The moisture permeability of the front side sheet member 6 and the back side sheet member 7 was 8000 g/(m 2 ·24 h).





　温度測定用センサＳＴ－２２Ｅ－００５－ＴＳ３－ＷＴ４（足立計器社製）、グラフィックレコーダーＫＲ２Ｓ２Ｐ－ＮＯＡ（チノー社製）を用いて、発熱温度（肌側となる温度）を、１０個のサンプルＳについて測定した。発熱特性として、立ち上がり時間（本実施例では、３１．５℃から３９．９℃になるまでの時間）、最高温度、持続時間（４０℃以上になっている間の時間）を計測した。その結果を図５に示す。また、時間に対する発熱温度を、１０個のサンプルＳの平均値で示したものを図６に示す。


Using a temperature measuring sensor ST-22E-005-TS3-WT4 (made by Adachi Keiki Co., Ltd.) and a graphic recorder KR2S2P-NOA (made by Chino Co., Ltd.), 10 exothermic temperatures (temperatures on the skin side) Was measured. As the heat generation characteristics, the rising time (in this example, the time from 31.5° C. to 39.9° C.), the maximum temperature, and the duration (time while the temperature was 40° C. or higher) were measured. The result is shown in FIG. Further, FIG. 6 shows an exothermic temperature with respect to time as an average value of ten samples S.





　図５から、立ち上がり時間が、いずれのサンプルＳも４０秒以内であることが分かる。また、図６から分かるように、最高温度に達するまでの時間が、５分以内である。これらの時間は、一般の化学カイロと比較して非常に短いものである。このような結果となったのは、袋を構成する不織布の透湿度が、８０００ｇ／（ｍ2・２４ｈ）と大きな値であるため、化学発熱組成物が速やかに空気に接触し、化学発熱組成物が、速やかに昇温したと考えられる。


From FIG. 5, it can be seen that the rise time is within 40 seconds for all samples S. Further, as can be seen from FIG. 6, the time required to reach the maximum temperature is within 5 minutes. These times are very short compared with general chemical warmers. This result is due to the fact that the non-woven fabric forming the bag has a large moisture vapor transmission rate of 8000 g/(m 2 ·24 h), so the chemical exothermic composition quickly contacts the air and the chemical exothermic composition It is considered that the temperature of the object rapidly increased.





　また、本願の発明者は、本発明に係る鼻通り改善具１に関連して、官能試験を実施した。


Further, the inventor of the present application conducted a sensory test in association with the nose passing improvement device 1 according to the present invention.





　本官能試験には、実施例１で使用したものと同一のサンプルＳを使用した。被験者は、就寝時に鼻づまり症状がある人であり、その数は１５人であった。


For this sensory test, the same sample S as that used in Example 1 was used. The test subjects were those with nasal congestion symptoms at bedtime, and the number was 15.





　試験方法は、次のようなものであった。サンプルＳを、被験者の顔の「鼻通」に装着すると共に、市販品（「ブリーズライト」（登録商標／グラクソ・スミスクライン・コンシューマー・ヘルスケア・ジャパン（株）社製）を被験者の鼻に装着した。つまり、サンプルＳと市販品が本発明の実施品に相当する。比較として、サンプルＳを装着せずに、市販品を被験者の鼻に装着した場合も試験した。


The test method was as follows. The sample S was attached to the “nasal passage” of the subject's face, and a commercially available product (“Breeze Light” (registered trademark/made by GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare Japan KK) was applied to the subject's nose. That is, the sample S and the commercial product correspond to the products of the present invention.For comparison, the case where the commercial product was mounted on the subject's nose without mounting the sample S was also tested.





　鼻づまりが全くない状態を０．００とすると共に、完全に鼻がつまっている状態を１．００として、「ビジュアル・アナログ・スケール（ＶＡＳ）」で、被験者に、鼻づまりの程度を数値化させた。


The level of nose congestion was set to 0.00 and the condition where the nose was completely blocked was set to 1.00, and the subjects were made to quantify the degree of nose congestion on the "visual analog scale (VAS)". ..





　装着直前、５分後、１０分後の鼻づまりの程度を、両方の鼻穴で息をした場合、左の鼻穴だけで息をした場合、右の鼻穴だけで息をした場合のそれぞれについて数値化させた。ただし、片方の鼻穴だけで息をする場合は、左右の区別ではなく、両方の鼻穴のうちで鼻づまりが強い方の鼻穴と、鼻づまりが弱い方の鼻穴という区別により、片方の鼻穴を区別した。


About the degree of stuffy nose just before wearing, 5 minutes later, 10 minutes later, when breathing in both nostrils, breathing only in the left nostril, and breathing only in the right nostril Numericalized. However, when breathing only with one nostril, one nose is distinguished by not distinguishing between the left and right, but by distinguishing the nostril with the stronger one and the one with the lesser one. Differentiated the holes.





　試験結果を次のように処理した。鼻づまりの改善の程度を示す値として、５分後、１０分後の数値から装着直前の数値を差し引いたものを算出した。この算出値が、マイナスでその絶対値が大きくなるほど鼻づまりが改善していることになる。この算出値の平均値のグラフを図７～９に示す。図７が、両方の鼻穴で息をした場合、図８が、鼻づまりが強い片方の鼻穴だけで息をした場合、図９が、鼻づまりが弱い片方の鼻穴だけで息をした場合を示す。また、何れの図でも、サンプルＳと市販品を同時に使用した場合を実線で示し、市販品のみを使用した場合を点線で示している。


The test results were processed as follows. As a value indicating the degree of improvement in nasal congestion, a value obtained by subtracting the value immediately before wearing from the value after 5 minutes and 10 minutes was calculated. As this calculated value is negative and the absolute value is larger, the stuffy nose is improved. Graphs of average values of the calculated values are shown in FIGS. FIG. 7 shows a case of breathing through both nostrils, FIG. 8 shows a case of breathing through only one nostril with a strong nasal congestion, and FIG. 9 shows a case of breathing through only one nostril with a weak nasal congestion. Show. In each figure, the solid line shows the case where the sample S and the commercial product are used at the same time, and the dotted line shows the case where only the commercial product is used.





　図７～９から分かるように、両方の鼻穴で息をした場合、鼻づまりが強い片方の鼻穴だけで息をした場合、鼻づまりが弱い片方の鼻穴だけで息をした場合のいずれの場合も、サンプルＳと市販品を同時に使用した場合には、鼻づまりが改善している。特に、図８から分かるように、鼻づまりが強い片方の鼻穴だけで息をした場合には、市販品のみを使用した場合と比較して、鼻づまりが大きく改善している。


As can be seen from FIGS. 7 to 9, when breathing through both nostrils, when breathing through only one nostril with a strong stuffy nose, or when breathing through only one nostril with a weak stuffy nose Also, when the sample S and the commercial product are used at the same time, the stuffy nose is improved. In particular, as can be seen from FIG. 8, when the person breathes only through one of the nostrils, which has a strong stuffy nose, the stuffy nose is greatly improved as compared with the case where only the commercially available product is used.
