Shopping List for: Allergies and Sinus Infection


sinutone_trip_kit.gifSinutone Plus Triple Kit

“I’m all stuffed up, sniff, sniff, my head hurts, sniff, sniff.” Or “I feel off balance, dizzy, and foggy headed.” Ah, it is all in your head! That’s right, it is! This kit attempts to get at the cause of a body’s susceptibility to allergies and congestion in the head, sinus, ears, and eyes. Medications for sinus and allergies suppress symptoms and can become addictive, such as Claritin and Afrin, which leads many to look for alternative that do not carry any known side effects. Sinutone Plus can help address the root causes of these conditions. To alleviate sinus conditions and allergies it is important to eliminate allergens from one’s diet and environment, strengthen immunity and increase resistance to congestion. Sinutone Plus offers complete allergy and sinus support.

Special Note: The three extracts can be mixed in the same glass of water. They can be taken any time during the day, with or without food.
