| 0:36.6 | of herbal actions and energetics and properties that are used |
| 0:40.9 | to treat upper respiratory allergies as well as asthma. You know, especially upper respiratory |
| 0:47.9 | allergies can sometimes be a little bit tricky to work with as an herbalist. And oftentimes it's because what we see is, you know, |
| 0:57.9 | in a lot of over-the-counter herbal products, kind of a very singular approach based on, you know, |
| 1:04.7 | studies that have shown this particular constituent helps with allergies. But as a holistic |
