Who Needs It?

The two herbs in this formula are designed to calm the body’s immune responses, while at the same time, strengthening the immune system. It is common in today’s world for people to experience what they believe is an allergy to a certain food, plant, animal, or other object. However, in many cases, this is actually really the immune system overreacting.

This formula has been used by those who suffer from a range of auto-immune problems, including:

• Hay fever and other allergies
• Asthma
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Any other excessive immune response.

Conventional treatments for hay fever and allergies include:

• Antihistamines: these can relieve hay fever symptoms, such as sneezing, runny eyes and itching. However, these stop the body from doing what it knows is the best way to cope with allergens, and masks the symptoms. Antihistamines also have a range of side effects, including:
  • Drowsiness
  • Allergic reactions
  • Dizziness
  • Nausea
  • Dry mouth
  • Moodiness
• Steroidal drops or nasal sprays: these can reduce inflammation in the nose, and lessen symptoms such as itching, sneezing, congestion and runny nose. Again, however, they merely mask the symptoms rather than getting to the root of the problem—they prevent the body from doing what it knows is the best way to deal with the problem.
• Eye drops: these can stop watery or itching eyes and reduce swelling. However, they often contain chemicals that are not healthy.

Conventional treatment for rheumatoid arthritis can involve:

• Exercises
• Hot and cold therapy
• Surgery to replace worn joints
• Drug therapy

The drug therapy used to treat arthritis can include aspirin…however, the amounts required are often so high that it can cause toxicity in the body. This can lead to problems such as tinnitus and gastro-intestinal problems.

Consequently, sufferers often use NSAID drugs. However, these can also cause side effects such as gastro-intestinal problems, headaches, dizziness and toxicity to the body.

As I’m sure you can see, the majority of these conventional treatments do not get to the root of the problem, but rather, mask the symptoms of the over-active immune system. They increase levels of toxicity in the body, which can, in turn, lead to a host of other problems.

Using herbs can help the body to rebalance the immune system, naturally. In doing this, there will be a reduction in symptoms without the need for antihistamines, steroids or eye drops.

How it works:

The two herbs in this formula: Marshmallow root and Astragalus, work together to calm and strengthen the body’s immune system responses.

• MARSHMALLOW ROOT: is a herb that, despite not being native to America, was a favourite of the late herbalist Dr. Christopher. A highly mucilaginous herb, Marshmallow has long been used for coughs, colds and other respiratory problems, due to its soothing nature, along with swollen and inflamed glands. The mucilage present in the Marshmallow helps to keep the body’s cells healthy as well as soothing them if inflamed.
• ASTRAGALUS: has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to counteract physical exhaustion and weakness. In addition, it has been traditionally used to raise the immune system’s level of resistance and improve overall physical endurance. There was a study conducted in the USA regarding Astragalus’s ability to restore normal functioning of the immune system in those who are immunocompromised. It looked at a number of cancer patients. Those who were given Astragalus along with other conventional treatments such as chemotherapy drugs or radiation, recovered faster from the treatment. This may suggest that the herb can be helpful for improving immune system function.

How to Take it:

The suggested dose is 2 droppers-full (60 drops) 4 times a day, in 60ml of water.
