Flying pollen during seasonal transitions can provide a great inconvenience to those sensitive to nature's bounty. For those affected, fast and effective relief generally comes over the counter by more conventional means. With our Cedar-Free Texas Allergy & Sinus formula, WishGarden Herbs is determined to provide quick results, the natural way!
Catherine Hunziker, owner and formulator at WishGarden Herbs, originally designed Cedar-Free Texas Allergy & Sinus as a region-specific formula for the American central Southwest, and Texas specifically, where the pollen from Juniperus ashei, commonly known as mountain cedar, affects those who are very sensitive to its presence. Cedar-Free Texas contains a combination of herbs that immediately go to work on the body's response to pollen exposure. Herbs such as Nettle leaf, Echinacea root, Orange peel, Elder flower, Yerba Mansa root, and Horseradish root. The synergy of botanicals in Cedar-Free Texas is so effective because it aids in draining and tonifying the inflamed tissues where histamine explosions occur. The release of histamine is responsible for boggy, watery eyes and swollen, congested sinuses, i.e. the things that make you feel terrible. The formula is very versatile and can also be used to calm the response to household dust and dander.
Yerba Mansa
Yerba Mansa, or Anemopsis californica, is one of the star supporting herbs in Cedar-Free Texas. We use the roots of this plant which are very aromatic and spicy, characteristics which suggest volatile oil content. These volatile oils aid in breaking up sinus congestion. Yerba Mansa has an ability to greatly benefit the health of mucous membranes, such as in the sinuses and nasal cavity. In herbal lingo we call Yerba Mansa an astringent. Astringents soothe discomforts of swollen membranes by shrinking and draining tissues. The reliability and capacity of Yerba Mansa to support soft tissue has been known across its native southwest for generations; it has even been promoted as an analogue to the prized and endangered Goldenseal by herbalist Michael Moore.
