Herbal Allergy Defense

Combining goldenrod, stinging nettle, and mullein is a synergistic way to boost your body's respiratory defense during times of seasonal allergies or allergy flare ups.

Stinging nettle helps to calm the body during allergies because it helps regulate the body's histamine response. It contains quercetin, flavonoids, phenolic acids that help moderate the release of histamines in your body. This can reduce symptoms, like sneezing, itchy eyes, and runny nose. It doesn’t hurt that it also contains iron, calcium and magnesium that your body needs for immune resilience!

Goldenrod is a wonderful ally for the sinuses and upper respiratory tract. It contains mild antihistamine properties, as well as flavonoids and saponins that are known to help reduce inflammation in the nasal passages while encouraging the loosening up of mucus. It helps alleviate irritation in the nasal passage.

Mullen supports the lungs and lower respiratory system. It contains mucilage, which coats and calms irritated membranes (demulcent). The saponins help clear mucus (expectorant). The soothing and clearing properties of mullein help it alleviate the range of allergy symptoms.

Many people use about 2 mL of this tincture as needed up to three times a day to support a clearer breathing during seasonal allergies, or sudden allergy flare-ups.
