A natural solution to unblock sinus problems

ZANDER is a young man who seems to have everything going for him. At just 25, he has a new job at a bank and has managed to save enough money for a small car.

However, Zander suffers from a “sinusitis curse”, as he calls it, what with the haze and pollution in the city. He would be kept awake each night by a stuffy nose, making him really sleepy the next morning.

Whenever Zander enters an airconditioned room, his nose would itch, and shortly after, his sneezing spells would start. Embarrassingly for him, this often happens during office meetings.

Why does one in every three noses react like Zander’s?

Well, allergic rhinitis results from a hypersensitive immune system that causes the nose to react to certain substances present in the air.

In its bid to flush these ‘intruders’ out, sufferers will be stricken by symptoms of a runny, sneezy nose. Some may experience other related issues such as sinusitis and ear infections.

Sinusitis is different from allergic rhinitis. It refers to the swelling or inflammation of the sinus mucous membrane causing blockage of the sinus openings that normally drain mucous.

Sinusitis almost always happens after chronic bouts of rhinitis. As the nasal and sinus passages are closely inter-related, otolaryngologists now refer to sinusitis as rhinosinusitis.

Globally, it has been established that about 51% of rhinosinusitis cases are caused by allergies.

However, avoiding environments or situations that cause the irritations is easier said than done. Even the usage of antihistamines and steroidal nasal sprays only help treat the symptoms, but do not address the root cause.

One clinically-proven alternative therapy option stands out – the herbal remedy Lectranal, which is a natural, activated astragalus root extract.

This herbal extract was developed and patented by scientists at the Ruder Boskovic Centre in Zagreb, Croatia.

Studies have shown that Lectranal can be used to manage allergic rhinitis and sinusitis, as it targets precisely at the hypersensitive nature of the immune system which triggers the symptoms in the first place.

The immune system is guided not to be over-reactive, but instead perform normally as it is meant to do.

With regular use of Lectranal, symptoms will gradually improve after two months.

It was Zander’s colleague who forwarded a video about Lectranal to him. Initially sceptical, Zander decided to try this herbal remedy as he does not want to suffer a sensitive nose nor depend on medicines forever.

He started to experience the difference from the fourth week onwards, with fewer sneezing spells.

Two months later, he was able to sleep through the night without having to get up to blow his nose.
