REISHI

We are BIG fans of mushrooms here at MNR.  #healyourself with Reishi, your mushroom for allergies. Japanese researchers have found Reishi to be an antihistamine, therefore making it good for allergies.  Good ole' reishi also stimulates adrenal function and the immune system, which in turn increases the body's chances of fighting off an allergen.  No more itchy eyes!

GINGKO BILOBA

Most people know of Gingko Biloba to be effective in brain stimulation and mental clarity.  I also recently discovered it effectiveness in increasing blood circulation, which would indeed seem to correlate with mental alertness.  One other great benefit of Gingko Biloba is for treating allergies.  Take gingko if you suffer from hayfever.
