How Aller-Ease Works
Aller-Ease is a natural tincture formulated with a powerful blend of elderberry, elderflower, goldenrod, nettle, and reishi. If you suffer from seasonal allergies or are looking for a natural way to boost your immune system, this tincture is just what you need.
Aller-Ease works by harnessing the natural healing properties of these plant-based ingredients to help alleviate allergy symptoms and support overall immune function. So, let's take a closer look at each of the ingredients and how they work together to provide relief and boost your health.
Elderberry
Elderberry is like cruise control for your immune system, putting on the brakes when overactive and pressing the gas when needed. An antiviral, Elderberry kicks into gear when you're sick, battling pathogens and helping the body return to its balanced, happy place.
Elderflower
Elderflower helps the body release heat and disrupts the progression of imbalance in the body. Elderflower comes from the same plant as elderberry. Clusters of white flowers precede the fruiting of deep purple berries.
Reishi
Reishi is a calming adaptogen and immune-modulator that normalizes, strengthens, and calms the immune system. It also helps soothe the gut when things get hot under pressure. It is known as the queen mushroom in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Goldenrod
An essential herb in many herbalist’s apothecaries, goldenrod is an energetically drying herb that blooms in the late summer (aka it's great for overactive spring sinuses). Its Latin name “Solidago” translates to  “heal or make whole.”Â
Nettle
Nettle is so deeply nourishing that it’s a weedy superfood! It’s a nutrient and mineral rich tonic to the veins, lungs, and kidneys. Especially supportive to the body’s elimination pathways it helps the body remove excess fluids, keeps skin glowing, and offers seasonal support for healthy eyes and sinuses.
