Gone are the days when nebulizer is only prescribed for people suffering from asthma and other respiratory diseases. Today it is a necessity in every household, especially for those who have babies and small children. The hassle with ordinary and old nebulizer models is that they are so big and bulky and are way too loud. I can clearly remember how my little man would fuss over our big nebulizer’s loud buzzing sound every time he needs to use it for his asthma attacks and bad cases of cough.

This is the reason why I was excited to discover and learn more about the Omron Comp Air NE-C801 Nebulizer model when I attended their launch a few months back. And it did exceed my expectations. It was the smallest and most compact nebulizer around and the most quiet, too!

Omron previously sent me a Comp Air NE-C801 Nebulizer unit to review. The package comes with the following:

  • Nebulizer kit
  • Inhalation attachments that include a Child Mask {PVC}, an Adult Mask {PVC}, and a Mouthpiece
  • Compressor
  • Air Tube
  • AC adapter
  • Instruction Manual
  • 5 pieces Spare Air Filters
  • Carrying Bag

You will be delighted and surprised to find out that this nebulizer unit that comes in a small dark blue carrying case is so small, making it very easy for mum to stash it in her diaper or overnight bag when traveling with the little ones.

Alternative Medicine: What Strain of Kratom Is The Strongest?

2 Comments


Because kratom strains can have wildly different effects, choosing the one that is strongest really depends on what the intended purpose is. In this blog post, we’ll look at some of the common uses of kratom and discuss which strains are commonly considered to be the strongest for that use. It is also important to note that how a person responds to a given strain depends a lot on their individual body chemistry, so these should be considered starting points that apply to most people and not necessarily definitive answers.

Anxiety

The best kratom strains for anxiety relief will combine a euphoric effect with a sedative effect. This combination will calm you down while also picking up your mood. The red-veined leaves are best suited to provide a sedation effect. What we want in choosing a strain for anxiety is to mix that with a strain that is not only also good at providing a euphoric effect but at effectively blending the two. Red Borneo kratom is considered one of the best strains for this purpose. Red Bali or red Maeng Da are also good second choices.

Kona Kratom is a good place to start if looking for kratom strains, as they have put together a wide selection from different areas in Indonesia and South East Asia. These strains are also known to relieve anxiety, as well as other health concerns.

Energy

One of the most well-known uses for kratom is as a stimulant similar to coffee. For this purpose, the white-vein kratom strains are going to be the most suited since the other colors are known more for either a sedative effect or for a mix of the two. Among the various regions from which white-veined kratom is available, the white Hulu or white Maeng Da are generally regarded as the most potent for their stimulant properties. These have higher concentrations of the stimulating alkaloid mitragynine. For stimulating effects, lower doses are recommended.
