Spring Allergies? Try Quercetin and Bromelain!
April 6, 2022
If spring allergies are getting you down, consider trying Quercetin and Bromelain. Quercetin is classified as a bioflavonoid, naturally found in various fruits and vegetables, like apples, onions and buckwheat. Bromelain is an enzyme found in pineapple. The two compounds together can act as a natural antihistamine and decongestant. All, without side effects or causing drowsiness or unwanted symptoms. It's generally sold as a capsule and sold at most vitamin or health food stores.
Hibiscus
Many of us are familiar with the hibiscus plant which grows across much of the US from the Northeast and Midwest to the Gulf. Hibiscus has beautiful flowers which come in many colors, from pink, red, orange and even blue. Hibiscus tea is a great summertime drink -- a little sweet and a little tart or sour. Health benfits include a good dose of Vitamin C, which helps with collagen for skin health and wound healing and also keeps capillaries strong to prevent bruising. There is also some evidence that it may help with lowering blood pressure. For more information, please call 346-703-2041 or email: magnoliacrossingacu@gmail.com
