Scented Roses and swollen noses

Allergies are the result of an inappropriate immune response where the body is over-reacting to a substance that enters within.

In springtime there is an increased amount of pollen floating around and some people’s immune system sees this as a challenge. This allergen (the substance that the body views as ‘bad’) binds with immune cells called mast cells and the result is inflammation. This inflammation may rear its head as the well-recognised symptoms of a runny nose, itchy eyes, sneezing or stuffy sinuses.

To lessen your likelihood of having to put up with feeling constantly “hung-over” for the duration of spring, you can implement some natural measures. Nature’s Way® have a comprehensive blend of synergistic herbs that, when taken together, will help you through the seasonal revolt by your immune system. Nature’s Way® HAS® is a multi-pronged formula that helps dry up the sniffles, clear your breathing, dampen down the flare-up and act as your natural antibiotic alternative. You’ll be doing your head and lungs a favour and avoiding prescription medications that may have an impact on your respiratory tract lining in the long term.

Radiance® HistaEze combines the powerful natural substances quercetin and bromelain. Quercetin is a bioflavonoid that helps transform a ruffled immune system into an oasis of calm. It does this by helping to regulate the production of the compounds that cause inflammation in the body.

Bromelain is an enzyme sourced from pineapple that may slow the flurry of immune cells rushing to deal with spring-time invaders. This may mean that your seasonal experience is much more bearable. In combination with quercetin, this offers a soothing recipe for your swollen nose and head.

When pain and swelling has already set in and you just want to get on with your day, Radiance® D-Flam is a comprehensive herbal formula that will naturally help balance your inflammatory responses so that spring is no longer a season you dread in advance. Herbs such as turmeric, ginger and holy basil have been extensively researched and shown to have bioactive compounds that quell any over activity where the immune system is concerned.

Let your spring experience this year be about bunnies and blossoms rather than streaming eyes and sneezes.
