Breathable humidifier for dry nostrils relief - turbinate reduction ENS lungs dehydration

One of the severe issues in persons who had turbinectomy (nostril turbinate reduction) is very dry and possible swollen nostril mucosa. This happens when the surgeon cuts along the nostril mucosa, sectioning the multiple blood vessels (tiny arteries) that produce the
humidity at the surface of the mucosa. If these blood vessels are sectioned by the surgeon during the turbinectomy procedure, the mucosa will become permanently dry and the lungs will not receive humidity for proper functioning.
