herbal supplementsAllergies are pretty bad right now in the Southwestern states, so I've been taking herbal supplements to help me through the fall season naturally. I prefer herbal supplements to over the counter drugs because they have minimal side effects. My work requires me to be physically and mentally alert, so I ordered herbal supplements that boost the immune system and promise to minimize histamine production. With all the talk of the seasonal and Swine flu this fall, it's important to enter the cold and flu season with a healthy immune system. I found a number of different products, and the one that I settled on has a combination of herbs in it, along with licorice in it. When I was a kid, my grandma told us that licorice was really good for us, so we ate that candy with abandon. Licorice has anti inflammatory properties and acts like cortisone in the body, so it's an excellent substitute for prescription medicines. And licorice has absolutely no side effects for almost everyone, and it tastes really good, too. herbal supplements
