The story of NasalGuard started about 20 years ago. New Jersey resident Ashok Wahi's daughter frequently suffered from allergies after exposure to her friend's cat. He wanted her to be relieved from the constant sneezing, runny nose, and congestion without taking drugs. When conventional over-the-counter remedies made her sleepy at school, he was motivated to create a drug-free solution for his daughter's cat allergies that would not cause drowsiness and other side effects. Wahi put his engineering skills to work with the project's goal to prevent the inhalation of allergens rather than treating the allergy symptoms after the fact. Hence the birth of NasalGuard® Technology. And NasalGuard Allergy Blocking Gel has been clinically proven to block not only pet dander, but also other airborne allergens like pollen, ragweed, dust mites and house dust.
