ALLERGIES Sinusitis symptom relief from traditional Chinese medicine When customers complain of sinusitis-related nasal congestion and pain, think of Oriental Botanicals SinuClear, which contains herbs traditionally used to relieve such symptoms in Chinese medicine. SinuClear is based on a herbal formula, Cang Er Zi San, which has been used for hundreds of years in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to relieve sinusitis symptoms. Xanthium: traditionally used to relieve sinusitis symptoms in TCM Xanthium is a key ingredient in both SinuClear and Cang Er Zi San. It’s traditionally taken in TCM to relieve sinusitis symptoms, including nasal congestion, a runny nose and sinus pain. Xanthium is also traditionally used in TCM to reduce excess mucus and ease post-nasal drip, as well as to ease symptoms of hay fever. White angelica: traditionally used to unblock the nasal passages in TCM SinuClear also contains white angelica, which is traditionally used to unblock the nasal passages and clear nasal congestion associated with sinusitis and common colds and flu in TCM. Also present in SinuClear are the Chinese herbs magnolia flower, houttuynia and Asian wild mint. Disclaimer: Always read the label. Follow the directions for use.
