Herbal Formulas for Seasonal Allergies

    For people that are unfortunate enough to suffer from seasonal allergies Herbs First has some great herbal formulas to ease the symptoms..

Dr. Christopher's Immucalm/Kid-e-Soothe has been a great one for us over the years to calm the itchiness that drives you crazy.  It is great for allergy flare-ups, arthritis, allergic reactions, bug bites and stings, etc. Often our immune systems work against us and Immucalm gets right to work calming and soothing the reaction.


Western Botanicals ImmuSoothe is Western Botanicals version of the above formula with a few more herbs for good measure. Also helpful for asthma, wheezing or respiratory complaints.

Western Botanicals Seasonal Sinus is my favorite formula that covers all the symptoms for me.  Formerly named Sinus Allergy this formula works quickly to relieve the symptoms without the side affects, relieves sinus congestion and draining associated with allergies. It is also an immune booster to fight bacterial and viral infections, because sometimes you think it is allergies when it is a cold.


Sinus Plus works really well to clear up the Sinus congestion, especially when combined with the Sinus & Lung extract. This very powerful formula consists of Brigham tea, Horseradish, and Cayenne and acts like a catalyst to Sinus Plus Formula capsules.

The herbs in Western Botanicals Herbal Snuff can relieve head pressure and clear your sinuses. Herbal Snuff works quickly and effectively. If you need a fast-acting, deep-cleansing simple solution, Herbal Snuff will give you results! If you are brave enough to try it you will love it!


Dr. Christopher's Bee Power Energy - is a synergic blend of bee pollen and herbs designed to strengthen the body and increase energy and vitality.  Perfect for fighting the fatigue from seasonal allergies.


Western Botanicals Ginseng Plus is a wonderful adrenal tonic that helps to build, strengthen, tone and increase the ability to handle stress while reducing fatigue. Hayfever is stressful and makes you feel tired. Ginseng Plus will feed the adenals and boost energy helping you get through allergy season.

Dr. Christopher's Stings and Bites is the perfect ointment for the pain, swelling and itching caused by insect stings and bites as well as minor cuts and scrapes. One to keep in your first aid kit, take on hikes and family outings.

    Personally I have noticed that with my change in diet I don’t have nearly the problems with seasonal allergies that I used to have, and I have less symptoms every year. I saw the biggest difference when I got off of sugar, so I would highly recommend looking at a diet change if you are tired of dealing with this problem year after year.

Increase your energy naturally with Western Botanicals Formulas

    Feeling tired can stem from a number of physical, mental, or emotional problems. Lack of sleep, stress, poor diet and depression are common causes for fatigue. Excess weight is a big factor in many illnesses. The more overweight we are, the more energy it requires to do everyday tasks. Exercise can especially be hard for people who are overweight, which leads to less activity.  Exercise sometimes isn't an option because we are too tired to exercise, making this a vicious cycle.

    Here are a few natural things you can do to break the cycle.

Change Your Diet. Get rid of the processed food and replace it with fresh fruits and vegetables.  Eat at least 2 fruits and 6 or more vegetable servings a day.  Eat whole grains, clean meats, and drink two quarts of water every day. Western Botanicals Weightloss formula contains herbs to strengthen the adrenal and thyroid glands, assists digestion and bowel function and supports healthy kidneys. It contains Gymnema leaf which is helpful for curbing sugar cravings. Available in capsules and liquid.

Don't Skip Meals. Eating breakfast encourages your metabolism to get started in the morning. It also encourages your energy level to get your body moving first thing in the morning and throughout the day. Stay adequately hydrated with water, which will also help improve energy throughout the day.

Be Active. Exercise can be as simple as taking a walk around the block in the morning or during your lunch break. Walking is a great way to boost energy, even ten to twenty minutes a day can make a difference. I have found 30 day fitness challenges to be a fun way to work on building my muscles, and since it is using my body, I don’t have to buy equipment or go to a gym. Take up a fun sport, go biking, play tennis, move your body!

Get sufficient sleep. Sufficient sleep will keep you feeling refreshed and alert for the day. Western Botanicals Sweet Dreams formula is a natural, non-narcotic herbal formula that helps to relax the body, mind and spirit allowing you to gently drift into sleep. Appropriate for children and adults, not habit forming and completely non-toxic to the system. Available in capsules and liquid.

Check Your Thyroid. The thyroid gland produces, stores, and releases hormones that regulate your metabolism. A healthy thyroid gland will support strong energy levels. Western Botanicals Thyroid Formula supports normal thyroid function, available in capsules and liquid.

Add Supplements. Earth's Nutrition is a great way to get a good helping of the whole foods you need, in capsules and powder. Western Botanicals Super Adrenal Support liquid and Ginseng Plus Formula are adrenal support herbs which aid our ability to handle stress and reduce fatigue. Available in capsules and liquid.

    The liver is the largest internal organ and handles many bodily functions. Everything we ingest, breathe, or absorb through the skin is processed through the liver. It plays an important role in digestion and metabolism, regulating the production, storage, and release of sugar, fats, and cholesterol. Support healthy liver function with Western Botanicals Liver/Gallbladder Formula. Available in capsules and liquid.

With a few lifestyle changes and added supplements, your body can begin to break out of the fatigue cycle, and you can get back to doing the things you love.

Have a great month!

Alternative medicine for hayfever and allergies!

Spring is just about here and for people that struggle with hayfever now is the time to do something about it before allergies kick in.  A good way to combat this problem is to do Dr Christopher's  three day cleanse. This flushes the toxins out of the body so that it is better able to combat the pollens. For people that have had allergies for many years they may also want to do Dr Christopher's  extended herbal cleanse.  Dr Christopher's cleanse kits are only $110.50 for a six weeks cleanse and includes 4 - Lower Bowel, 4 -Liver & Gallbladder, 2 Kidney, and 2 Blood Stream Formula. (Available in extract and capsules)

    Another great help for allergy sufferers is to boost the immune system with Dr Christopher's Immune System Formula, so it will be strong and less affected by the pollens. Allergies are an overactive immune system response, so by building it up people will have a better chance of not being affected by pollens.  (Available in capsules)


    Many allergies can be traced to weak or fatigued adrenal glands. Dr Christopher's  Adrenal Formula can strengthen, tone and rebuild the adrenal glands while giving the body more energy and relief from allergy symptoms. (Available in capsules)

    It is always best to correct the cause rather than endlessly search for relief from the symptoms. With a cleansed body and a built up immune system the body should be better able to handle the onslaught of pollens. It is time to enjoy spring instead of being miserable through it.

    Should symptoms arise we have wonderful formulas to help you through:

    Dr Christopher's Sinus Plus is for sinus problems that plague so many people during allergy season. Since breathing is a big part of life, there are times when this formula is a real help. It does a good job of opening up the airway. (available in extract and capsules)

The Nasal Cleansing Pot is also a great help for people with sinus issues and for as weird as it sounds it really makes a big difference and is quite easy to use.

    Dr Christopher's Immucalm is a formula that I didn’t understand, so I didn’t use for a long time.  I have come to love this formula, and the more I learn about it, the more I am amazed at the ingenuity of the person that put these herbs together. Immucalm was designed to calm yet strengthen the body's immune responses. Often, we believe that we are allergic to certain foods, plants or animals, but in reality our immune system may be overreacting. Immucalm helps calm the overreacting immune system, which in turn alleviates the symptoms. (Available in capsules)

    Western Botanicals has great formulas for these problems:  Allergy Formula is an immune calming formula, and Sinus Allergy is a wonderful sinus and allergy formula. Western Botanicals also has Immune Boost Formula which is great for boosting the Immune System, and Ginseng Plus for the Adrenals.  These formulas are available in capsules, extract and syrup.

    We hope as spring time comes that you will have a wonderful allergy-free year.
