16 Influenza or Flu Respiratory infection caused by a number of viruses Symptoms similar to those of common cold but typically have sudden onset and are more sever Can be life-threatening in the ill, the elderly, and the very young Chinese herbs support the immune system and works to overcome viral illnesses, including the common cold, flu, and croup Peppermint,Astragalus, Nano-Silver, Olive Leaf Extract Boost Immune with Elderberry and/or mushroom blend ALLERGIES 16

18 Allergens cause immune system to overreact which prompt white blood cells to release histamine and other inflammatory and irritating agents in the body. Common reactions: Digestion: Bloating, gas, nausea, constipation, Diarrhea, cramping, Respiratory: congestion, dry cough, inflamed sinus, itchy puffy eyes Skin: rashes, hives, itchy skin Natural antihistamines (these help the body remove mucus mostly ENT conditions) such as goldenseal,, nettles, burdock, goldenrod can help eliminate mucus because they help reduce inflammation of the mucus membrane. Anti-inflammatory herbs that can help ease allergy symptoms include stinging nettle, Ginkgo biloba and licorice. Astringent herbs like yarrow and myrrh (Commiphora myrrha) can help contract inflamed tissues and, as a result, reduce secretions and discharges. Echinacea, astragalus root, goldenseal root have been shown to help strengthen the immune system, which is especially important for allergy sufferers. Cayenne pepper has an active ingredient called capsaicin, which is a strong antiinflammatory agent that helps both allergies and asthma. Antihistamines such as nettle leaves,quercitin, bitter orange, bromelain. 18

19 The immune system s job is to defend the body. It is activated by invading organisms. Most respiratory symptoms are caused by the immune system in the gut. These symptoms are helpful even essential in overcoming the illness. Cleavers aerial parts, red clover blossom extract, stillingia root, and prickly ash bark, helps maintain a healthy network of internal vessels. 19

22 Most essential Oils are antiseptic to some degree. Many different oils have been used historically to assist respiratory complaints.

23 Expectorant & Tonic Oils promote the expulsion of phlegm by coughing or spitting. They may also alleviate coughing by making the respiratory fluid more demulcent. Ravintsara- This creates an intense, deep, crisp, and cooling aroma. When used aromatically or blended with Hand & Body Lotion or Carrier Oil it encourages deep breathing.
