Ingredients:

• Solidago canadensis (goldenrod)

A fantastic decongestant for the sinuses. It will make your nose run in the short term but this is how it works to clear your system! 

• Plantago officinalis (plantain leaf)
  

Plantain is a natural antihistamine that can reduce inflammation in the eyes and nose. It can also help with congestion.

• Urtica dioica folia (nettle leaf)

Also considered an antihistamine. A study showed 57% of people rated nettles as effective in relieving allergies, and 48% said that nettles were more effective than allergy medications they had used previously.

• Verbascum thapsus (mullein leaf)

Traditionally used by cultures across the world as a healing aid for respiratory conditions, including seasonal allergies and hay fever.

• Ginkgo biloba (ginkgo)

Ginkgo can increase blood flow by promoting the dilation of blood vessels. This can help with breathing issues due to asthma or allergies. 

• Euphrasia officinalis (eyebright)

Both an antihistamine, astringent and anti-inflammatory, eyebright is excellent for treatment of catarrh, hay fever, chronic sneezing, inflamed nasal mucosa, relaxed tonsils and sore throat, including where these symptoms are caused by allergy.

• Foeniculum vulgare (fennel seeds)

Fennel tea acts as an expectorant to help eliminate phlegm and mucus, which can help relieve sore throats and sinus pressure. 

• Lobelia inflata (lobelia)

It also works as an expectorant that loosens phlegm and makes it easier to breathe. Traditionally used for asthma, allergies, or other breathing conditions.
