AL-J
How it Works
AL-J is an expectorant formula containing mucilaginous substances which affect mucous membranes. In traditional herbal medicine, expectorants help the body to remove excess mucus from the respiratory tract. Allergic reactions can involve the mucous membranes of the respiratory and digestive tract. Expectorant formulas have been used for centuries in herbal medicine to relieve the uncomfortable symptoms of mucus buildup in the mucous membranes.
The story behind AL-J
The Greeks and Romans fed fenugreek to their cattle (part of its Latin name, foenum graecum, means Greek hay). The Egyptians used it for embalming. Horseradish goes back more than 3,000 years. The Greeks and Romans applied it to muscle aches and cramps. They also consumed it for help with coughs. In folklore medicines, poultices of this herb have been employed to ease gout and sciatica, and even in attempts to remove freckles! Mullein, aka Adam’s Flannel, Beggar’s blanket and torch weed, contains mucilage, gum, saponins, flavonoids and other beneficial compounds. According to the European Union Monograph, its traditional use is in relieving sore throat linked to dry cough and cold. AL-J formula…only from Nature’s Sunshine.
