ALLER-EASE™
Allergy/Decongestion Formula
with Ginseng
Controls
allergies using the body’s natural healing energy. Drink it now,
feel the effects in half an hour! Traditional Chinese Medicine believes
that allergic problems begin in the spleen/stomach, the seat of digestion.
This concept is endorsed by modern research that points to undigested
proteins in the blood that cause the immune system to launch an aggressive
attack, releasing histamines which cause a myriad of symptoms referred
to as “allergic reactions”.
Aller-Ease™ is a pleasant tasting, fast acting Traditional Chinese
Herbal formula that balances the stomach energy and is extremely effective
for general food allergies. It acts fast to relieve congestion. It is
also recommended at the first sign of a cold. Bitter Orange is a key herb,
stimulating Qi circulation and supplying cold energy. Panax ginseng is
a balancer, supplying warm energy. Kudzu with Bitter Orange and Ginger
helps move “Stagnant Qi” from the inner body to the outer areas,
thus allowing the body to heal. Chinese Blackberry and Magic Fruit nurture
kidneys, liver, lungs and spleen for maximum benefits. In a recent Japanese
study, Chinese Blackberry was proven effective in fighting inflammation
and allergies.
