ABOUT US
How do you take care of your ears? Dr. Fitzpatrick's founding philosophies of natural, organic topicals drive ENT naturals corporate mission. Our topical products promote natural balance while cleaning, moisturizing and nourishing the outer ear. Combining his medical training and experience in ENT and allergy medicine, he has formulated SENSES products of high quality, natural, organic ingredients that serve as daily care products for the ears- think of our products like “hand lotion for your ears”
ENT Naturals and SENSES topicals are based on organic, natural formulations by Dr. Fitzpatrick, aimed to help reduce common outer ear and nasal complaints such as:
3 key features unique to ENT Naturals coconut oil products:
Developed liquid coconut oil using virgin organic non processed supply
Formulated by an expert/physician in ENT and allergy medicine
Harnesses natural, innate properties of coconut oil while preserving all essential fatty acids.
Unlike other oils such as olive oil, which are liquid at room temperature, virgin non-processed coconut oil is a solid at room temperature. Dr. Fitzpatrick has uniquely formulated organic topical combinations allowing ENT Naturals to provide high concentration of virgin, organic, non-processed coconut oil in a LIQUID form. This is accomplished without refinement which preserves the natural integrity of the coconut oil.
Commercial coconut oil is made from copra or the dried kernel meat of coconut and goes through refining, bleaching and deodorizing processes. These processes alter the oils and despite marketing, are not natural.
On the other hand, virgin coconut oil (VCO) is obtained from fresh mature kernel of the coconut by natural means without the use of hear and without undergoing chemical refining (Villarinoa et al 2007). This is the basis for our all ENT Natural organic topical products.
Unrefined oil serves as the basis of SENSES ear and nose mists. Preserving the key medium chain fatty acid, especially auric acid is priority. Laurie acid makes up 50% of coconut oil. This is largely lost in the refinement of commercial available liquid coconut oils. Dr. Fitzpatrick’s lack of refinement preserves all the natural benefits of VCO.
Inflammation in the respiratory system is a key factor in many common ENT aliments; related to oxidative stress to a variety of airborne allergens and infections.
Dr. Fitzpatrick’s notion of using organic topicals to clean and moisturize is the basis of ENT Naturals targeted formulations for ears, nose and pet applications. His board certified medical training in ENT medicine and allergy for both children and adults is the backbone to the superior solutions found within the SENSES product line.
INGREDIENTS
Coconut Oil (organic) Unrefined, non-hydrogenated virgin organic coconut oil (cocos nucifera) has innate antifungal, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory properties. Botanically, the coconut is a drupe, and not a nut, as many would think, therefore free of nut allergic type reactions.
Jojoba Oil (organic)
Jojoba oil is the liquid produced in the seed of the Simmondsia chinensis (Jojoba) plant, a shrub, which is native to southern Arizona, southern California, and northwestern Mexico.
The structure of jojoba oil closely resembles that of your own skin sebum. Because of this, it has a natural affinity to the skin and is readily absorbed without making the skin feel greasy, does it clog the pores and helps to balance the production of sebum - your skin's own lubricating medium.
Organic jojoba oil is one of the more stable oils and is known to be a good lubricant with excellent moisturizing ability.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E has many benefits for the skin. Topically applied, vitamin E is an excellent moisturizer that helps keep the skin healthy and soft. This valuable nutrient locks moisture into the skin and prevents dehydration.
Black Cumin Oil (Nigella Sativa) (organic)
Black Cumin Oil or Black seed oil or genus name Negella Sativa is a long-standing medicinal plant that has been used over the past 2000 years. It is an annual flowering plant in the family Ranunculaceae, native to south and southwest Asia. Its use is broad for both acute and chronic issues with a variety of pharmacological properties, which include anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-histaminic, anti-microbial components.
Mineral Oil Mineral oil and petrolatum are known to be efficacious in skin replenishing and are also among the most effective, established moisturizing ingredients available.
INNOVATION
At ENT naturals, we take pride in using only the most natural, non-hydrogenated organic coconut oil as the base of all our products. Our products are the most innovative organic topicals formulated for your ears nose and throat in the industry for ENT health.
From using US pharmaceutical grade material, to our state of the art filling process and our physician/compound pharmacy experts, our goal is to provide excellent quality natural organic topicals for the ears, nose and throat.
Once applied to the outer ears, our coconut oils containing natural fatty acids help to clean and moisturize.
Our manufacturing process preserves all the natural benefits from the long chain fatty acids from our organic virgin non-hydrogenated coconut oil. This is unique and contrary to all other commercially available 'liquid oils'.
The key therapeutic 12 carbon fatty acid, known as lauric acid, is a missing component in many other coconut oil products, but this medicinal component is maintained in all of ENT Naturals products.
SENSES Natural Ear Mist
The outer ear canal is a hard area to monitor, as you can’t look into your own ear. Dr. Fitzpatrick is a board certified ENT surgeon that counsels people daily on proper ear care.
The SENSES ear care line is specially formulated to provide everyone with easy effective ear mists for daily ear care.
The best environment for proper ear canal health is one that is acidic (ph less <7)
Many ear drops contain steroids which can be harmful over time, however ENT Naturals harness natural fatty acids to accomplish this without the use of steroids.
Wax in the ear canal is normal and keeps the ear canal healthy. Excessive wax causes obstruction and even hearing loss. Dr. Fitzpatrick developed an easy self-directed mist helping one to self address wax build-up.
Ditch the Itch! Ear canal itch often comes from skin irritation or allergies. Again, many treatments involve the use of steroids. Dr. Fitzpatrick focuses on the natural fatty acids in coconut oil to help sooth and ease ear itching WITHOUT steroids.
Using SENSES natural ear mist alleviates the need to dig or scratch with items like Q-tips that can worsen wax buildup or scape the ear canal causing infections.
