Natural Seasonal Allergy Remedies: Supporting Your Respiratory System Through Seasonal Changes
Airborne particles are everywhere. When these particles enter the respiratory system through the nose or mouth, the body activates its natural cleansing mechanisms β and the immune system is called to active duty. For many people, this response becomes especially pronounced as the seasons change, leading to congestion, irritated airways, and overall respiratory discomfort.
This is where natural seasonal allergy remedies come in. Rather than simply masking symptoms, herbal approaches work with your body's own respiratory processes, supporting healthy elimination of inhaled irritants and soothing tissues that have been challenged by seasonal shifts.
Nature's Sunshine's Seasonal Allergy formula (formerly ALJ) is an herbal supplement designed to help balance the natural elimination functions of the respiratory system. The blend of five time-honored herbs β Boneset, Fennel, Fenugreek, Horseradish, and Mullein β work together to soothe respiratory tissue, assist the respiratory system in its natural cleansing processes, and support the body during seasonal changes.
If you have questions about whether this formula is a good fit for you, our naturopath is available for a free consultation to help guide your decision.
How These Herbs Support Your Respiratory System
The Seasonal Allergy formula takes a multi-pronged approach to respiratory comfort. Each of the five herbs contributes a distinct set of properties that, together, address several aspects of seasonal respiratory challenges.
Soothing irritated tissue: Fenugreek and Mullein both contain mucilage β a gel-like substance that coats and soothes irritated mucous membranes throughout the respiratory tract. This demulcent action helps calm tissues that have been aggravated by airborne irritants, providing a protective layer that eases discomfort.
Supporting natural mucus clearance: Several herbs in this formula have traditionally been valued as expectorants β substances that help thin and loosen mucus so the body can clear it more effectively. Mullein's saponins are traditionally used to help make coughs more productive, while Fennel seeds have traditionally been recognized for their mucolytic properties. Horseradish root is well known for its ability to stimulate mucus flow and promote respiratory drainage.
Nourishing the lungs: The combination works to nourish the lungs and cleanse the respiratory system, supporting the body's ability to handle the challenges that come with changing seasons.

Frequently asked questions
What herbs are in the Seasonal Allergy formula?
The formula contains five herbs: Boneset aerial parts, Fennel seeds, Fenugreek seeds, Horseradish root, and Mullein leaves extract β each at 1,760 mg per serving. Fenugreek and Mullein both contain mucilage, which soothes respiratory tissue, while the other herbs assist in nourishing the lungs and supporting the respiratory system's natural cleansing processes.
How do natural seasonal allergy remedies support the respiratory system?
The herbs in this formula work together to support the body during seasonal changes in several ways. Mucilage from Fenugreek and Mullein soothes irritated respiratory tissue. Horseradish helps stimulate mucus flow and promote respiratory drainage. Fennel seeds have been recognized for enhancing ciliary motility in the respiratory apparatus. Boneset has been traditionally used as an expectorant to help clear mucus from the airways.
Is there scientific research behind these ingredients?
The evidence varies by ingredient. Fennel seeds have recognition from Commission E and ESCOP for catarrh of the upper respiratory tract, with research showing they enhance ciliary motility. Clinical studies of a combination product containing Horseradish root have shown efficacy for acute sinusitis and bronchitis. A 2021 review confirmed Mullein's anti-inflammatory phytochemicals correlate with its respiratory uses. Boneset's anti-inflammatory activity has been confirmed in laboratory cell studies. Much of the evidence for these herbs as seasonal respiratory support is rooted in extensive traditional use across multiple cultures and centuries.
Is the Seasonal Allergy formula the same as ALJ?
Yes. Seasonal Allergy is the new name for what was formerly called ALJ by Nature's Sunshine. The herbal formula remains the same β a blend of Boneset, Fennel, Fenugreek, Horseradish, and Mullein designed to support the respiratory system during seasonal changes.
What forms does this product come in?
This formula is available in three formats: Vegicaps (100 count), VegiTabs, and a liquid form. This gives you flexibility to choose whichever format suits your preferences and routine.
