Nasal and sinus congestion, headache, sneezing, runny nose and itchy eyes are all common symptoms of seasonal allergies. These symptoms are a result of the body's inflammatory response. In treating allergies we want to do two things: minimize the inflammatory response and purify the blood so that there is no longer a cause of inflammation.

Herbs such as Rose hips, Licorice and Eyebright have anti-inflammatory effects and moderate the production of histamine. These herbs can provide quick relief from allergy symptoms.

Other herbs, such as Red clover, Nettles, Burdock and Dandelion help to purify the blood. These herbs, when used over time, help to eliminate the underlying cause of inflammation so that allergy symptoms do not occur.
