St. Francis' Allergy Relief with Deep Immune offers a two-pronged approach to seasonal allergies, with a cluster of herbs to provide targeted relief of the acute symptoms in the short term coupled with several adaptogens to help balance the immune system to make it less prone to over-reacting, in the longer term.
Product Notes:
Some of us may be prone to feeling a little run down or far more susceptible to catching the cold or flu than others, unless we take measures to support our immune system with something like Deep Immune.
Others may have a hyper-vigilant immune system that's so diligent at repelling invaders that it over-reacts to relatively benign substances like pollen or 'snow mold', for whom an Allergy Relief spray may indeed be welcome relief.
But what if both apply, and you need to continue to support your immune system AND dial back its response to seasonal allergens in particular? Don't worry: St. Francis has got you covered with this combination of the major elements of both those formulae at once (along with some substitutions, to ensure the two 'play nice' with each other) to serve as an alternate to Deep Immune during your peak hay fever periods.
So whether it's during that first 'big melt' when the 'snow mold' gets released, or the spring or early summer when trees and grasses pollinate, or the Fall when the ragweed hits, you know it's your peak allergy season(s) when you're experiencing endless sneezes, irritated, watery eyes, itchy ears, and especially marathon runny noses for days on end. But you don't need to just tough it out or get either tired or wired from antihistamines, when you can get Allergy Relief with Deep Immune.

Suggested Usage:

Dosage: Adults: Take 2.5 ml (= 75 drops, or half a teaspoon) 3 times daily, in a little water, on an empty stomach.
For a more enhanced, preventative protocol, depending on the severity of your typical allergy season, either:
1) Begin taking Allergy Relief with Deep Immune daily well in advance of your allergy season – 4 to 6 weeks before you usually encounter symptoms – and then continue during the actual period when your respiratory allergies get triggered.
2) Foster healthy immunity year-round by taking Deep Immune® throughout the rest of the year, and switch to Allergy Relief with Deep Immune for allergy season.
Warnings:
Do not use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you have an immune system disorder or are taking immunosuppressants.
