Q: What is a quick-acting syrup that I can use during the allergy season to relief congestion and runny nose?

A: Omega Alphas Resprit is a smart, synergistic blend of mainly traditional Chinese medicinal herbs that could do just that.  Many clients learnt of its usefulness during last years smoky summer.  Taken twice daily, it could offer relief, even to chronic sufferers, after just a few doses.  My mom and wife often make me clear soup from Luo Han Guo fruit because of my double lung surgeries, taking advantage of its soothing, decongestive effects on the lungs, not to mention its deliciousnatural flavour; its also thought to aid longevity.  Frittilaria is great to reduce phlegm and suppress coughs.  Peppermint leafis often used in a tea for aiding digestion and improving cold symptoms.  Skullcap has been used for years to treat hay fever, and mild infections; it is also used to support liver health. Honeysuckle can have similar anti-bacterial effects. Chrysanthemum is a soothing herb for colds.    Yuan Zhi has a calming effect on the mind and body.  Mulberry is rich in Vitamin C.  Resprits mild cherry-menthol flavour compliments the sweet, cool taste of the natural herbs quite well. Keep in mind that all natural products have potential of side-effects and interactions, so consult a pharmacist or physician who knows about them before risking anything.

Breathe Easy with Resprit™

By Frederick Cheng (RPh), and Christine Cheng (RPh)

We get frequent requests for a quick-acting syrup that clients can use during the allergy season to relief congestion and runny nose.  Omega Alpha’s Resprit™ is a smart, synergistic blend of mainly 8 traditional Chinese medicinal herbs that could do just that.  Many clients learnt of its usefulness during last year’s smoky summer.  Taken twice daily, it could offer relief, even to chronic sufferers, after just a few doses.  My mom and wife often make me clear soup from Luo Han Guo fruit because of my double lung surgeries, taking advantage of its soothing, decongestive effects on the lungs, not to mention its delicious natural flavour; its also thought to aid longevity.  Frittilaria is great to reduce phlegm and suppress coughs.  Peppermint leaf is often used in a tea for aiding digestion and improving cold symptoms.  Skullcap has been used for years to treat hay fever, and mild infections; it is also used to support liver health.  Honeysuckle can have similar anti-bacterial effects.  Chrysanthemum is a soothing herb for colds and is often found in teas and treats.   Yuan Zhi has a calming effect on the mind and body.  Mulberry is rich in Vitamin C and thus offers immune-enhancing effects.  Resprit™’s mild cherry-menthol flavour compliments the sweet, cool taste of the natural herbs quite well.  Resprit™ can offer relief to some after just one dose, and repeated use could lead to further improvement in symptoms.  It is a viable option for anyone with sinus congestion or runny nose, regardless of the cause, and can definitely help someone suffering from a cough, cold, or seasonal allergies breathe easier.  Keep in mind that all natural products have potential of side-effects and interactions, so consult a pharmacist or physician who knows about them before risking anything.
