Making friends with the pollen ;-)

Here at Clear Conscience we like to use food as our medicine whenever possible! With pollen at high levels there are herbs that can be taken safely to help you cope with the predicament.  Our favorite is Stinging Nettle. Nettles are natural anti-histamines and can be bought in liquid, capsule or tea. You can also get nettles with natural bioflavanoids like quercetin. Our favorite is Nettles/Quercetin by Eclectic Institute. It helps with the histamine effect (the drainage and sneezing and itching :( ) and the inflammation that swells within the nasal cavity and behind the eyes. We also have Dr. Hana's Nasopure which is a convenient neti pot alternative that can even be used with children. She has packets of salt combined with baking soda to not only flush the nasal cavity but also reduce inflammation. Come by today and ask Jessie or Shawn what they have seen work for others :)
