Natural remedy

Hi! If you know me, you know I have major sinus & allergy issues. For the longest time I always had headaches and not too long ago I realized that these headaches are from my sinus issues. My headaches had major pressure around my eyes and nose, sometimes my teeth even hurt because my sinuses were acting up so much. I started taking Zyrtec D every night right before I went to bed. Yes, I know Zyrtec has TONS of caffeine and I'm sure you can't believe that I could sleep after taking it but I would takeout right before I went to bed and I would just conk out and go to sleep and have super weird dreams. (really, I did! I once dreamed I was surfing with Michael Jackson) Anywho, after taking Zyrtec for over a year I realized I needed to stop taking that crap. Like I need more caffeine in my life and I don't want to have to rely on that stuff. Not to mention that Zyrtec made me feel so loopy, that's why I took it at night. I don't like that medicines make me feel that way. And-I have really made an effort to eat really well and get rid of processed foods and if I'm getting whole, and not eating processed junk, why am I relying on a medicine? I decided something needed to change.
I decided to go on a cleanse. I will write about this cleanse that I used next-it was awesome! But with that I thought I can't do a cleanse and go right back to using medicines and junk. So, I ran to Whole Body (I love that place!) and asked this great, knowledgeable guy (I will get him name soon!) showed me this amazing supplement to take as a substitute for Zyrtec. He showed me this little beauty.



This is Super Quercetin and I am in love!!! I started taking this the day I started my cleanse. Yes, I had a headache for about 3 days when I started the cleanse but I just kept pushing through and ever since then this stuff has worked like a dream! Not only does this help with my sinus pressure and keep sinus headaches away there are a ton of great benefits to taking this!

First, and obvious, it has Quercetin which is a plant-based flavonoid that is in fruits and veggies, grains and leaves. Black and green tea contain Quercetin, so does red grapes and onions, citrus fruits, leafy green veggies and so much more! The American Cancer Society has said that Quercetin has been known to be effective against a wide variety of diseases, including cancer. Quercetin also has anti-inflammatory properties so that helps with your sinuses.

This supplement also has vitamin C which of course we all knows helps keep scurvy at bay back in the pirate days. It is essential to have vitamin C in our diet. Vitamin C is a great antioxidant as well as an amazing antihistamine.

Acerola is the next ingredient to spotlight. Acerola is also very rich in vitamin C and also contains vitamin A, B1, B2 and B3 and lots of antioxidants.

Bromelian is the last ingredient I will talk about. Bromelian is from the stem of the pineapple. It has anti-inflammatory properties and also has chemicals that might interfere with the growth of tumor cells and slowing blood clots. Bromelian is used in a lot of folk medicine and alternative medicine. Bromelain helps reduce swelling which helps with the sinus cavities. This also helps arthritis. There are a ton of other treatments that bromelian will remedy- treating fever, bowel conditions, preventing collection of water in lungs, relaxing muscles, stimulating muscle contractions, slowing blood clots, improving absorption of antibiotics, preventing cancer, shortening labor, and helping the body get rid of fat.

There are so many benefits from this supplement!!! I love the prevention of cancer benefits, all the amazing vitamins and antioxidants that are in it, the anti-inflammatory and antihistamine benefits, helps me breathe easier, keeps my sinuses from bothering me and I take 2 at night because it helps me sleep better because of the Bromelian. It seriously helps me sleep better!!

I get this from Whole Body and it's about $35 for 100 count. If you have sinus issues or you can't sleep or if you just want to better your health you have to try this!!!! It's a must in my daily routine!


To your health!
