Seasonal Allergy Support | Nature’s Sunshine ALJ

Discover how Nature's Sunshine Seasonal Allergy (Formerly ALJ) supports respiratory health during seasonal changes with Fenugreek, Mullein, Horseradish & more.

Understanding the Challenge

What Is Seasonal Allergy and Why Does It Matter?

Airborne particles are everywhere. When they enter the respiratory system through the nose or mouth, the body turns on its cleansing mechanisms, putting the immune system on active duty. For many people, the body's response to inhaled irritants — especially during seasonal transitions — can leave the respiratory tract feeling congested, uncomfortable, and overworked.

Nature's Sunshine Seasonal Allergy (formerly ALJ) is an herbal supplement designed to help balance the natural elimination functions of the respiratory system. Rather than working against the body, this formula assists the respiratory system in its own cleansing processes, supporting the body as seasons change.

The blend of herbs in Seasonal Allergy Vegicaps works together to soothe respiratory tissue and nourish the lungs. The formula includes Fenugreek and Mullein — both herbs that contain mucilage, a natural compound that soothes tissue — alongside Horseradish, Boneset, and Fennel to assist in cleansing the respiratory system.

This product is also available as VegiTabs and in liquid form.

How It Works

How Seasonal Allergy Supports Your Respiratory System

Each ingredient in Seasonal Allergy was selected for its traditional role in respiratory wellness. Together, they address multiple aspects of seasonal respiratory comfort:

  • Soothing respiratory tissue: Fenugreek and Mullein are rich in mucilage — a natural substance that forms a protective, soothing coating on irritated mucous membranes. This demulcent action may help calm tissue that has been aggravated by inhaled particles.
  • Supporting the body's natural cleansing processes: Horseradish and Fennel have long histories of use as stimulating expectorants, traditionally valued for promoting the loosening and movement of mucus through the airways.
  • Nourishing lung health: Boneset and Mullein are among the most historically established herbs in North American and European herbal traditions for respiratory system support, traditionally used during seasonal transitions and acute respiratory discomfort.

If you have questions about whether this formula is right for your individual needs, our naturopath is available for a free consultation — no purchase or membership required.

What's inside

Key ingredients

Boneset aerial parts — 1,760 mg
Boneset (Eupatorium perfoliatum) is a North American perennial with a deep history in Indigenous and Eclectic medicine. It is traditionally classified as a diaphoretic, expectorant, and anti-inflammatory remedy for the respiratory mucosa. Historically, it has been used across multiple respiratory conditions including colds, bronchitis, nasopharyngeal catarrh, and allergic rhinitis. Boneset is traditionally used as a hot infusion to promote expectoration and help clear mucus from the respiratory tract during acute infections. It was commonly included in medical herb gardens as a folk medicine for fevers, colds, and respiratory conditions throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, and was listed in the United States Pharmacopoeia from 1820 until 1916. In vitro studies have confirmed anti-inflammatory activity through down-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Its traditional role as an expectorant dates to Lockwood (1847) and continues in modern herbal monographs, though no clinical trials on respiratory outcomes have been conducted.
Fennel seeds — 1,760 mg
Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a fragrant Mediterranean herb whose seeds have been used in traditional medicine for over two millennia. In the respiratory system, Fennel seeds have both traditional and scientific support as expectorants for respiratory mucus. Research suggests that Fennel seeds enhance ciliary motility of the respiratory apparatus, and Fennel essential oil inhalation stimulates tracheal smooth muscle contraction, promoting expectoration of mucus and foreign particles. Commission E and ESCOP recognize Fennel for catarrh of the upper respiratory tract. Its volatile oil — especially anethole — is traditionally attributed with antispasmodic and mucolytic properties in the bronchi, and Fennel is documented in traditional Iranian medicine, Ayurveda, and European monographs as a respiratory herb with bronchodilatory and expectorant properties.
Fenugreek seeds — 1,760 mg
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) is a clover-like herb prized in Ayurvedic and Middle Eastern medicine for centuries. In this formula, Fenugreek serves as a traditional soothing expectorant. Its seeds are exceptionally high in mucilage, which creates a protective coating effect on irritated respiratory tissue and stimulates mucus secretion to thin viscous respiratory secretions. In traditional Ayurvedic medicine, Fenugreek has been used to soothe inflamed airways and relieve respiratory congestion. Naturopathic pharmacopeias classify it as a soothing expectorant for productive coughs, making it a valued component of respiratory support formulas.
Horseradish root — 1,760 mg
Horseradish (Armoracia rusticana) is a pungent root from the Brassicaceae family with robust traditional and clinical support for respiratory health. It contains sinigrin and allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), a compound that stimulates mucociliary secretion and exhibits antimicrobial properties. Research suggests the isothiocyanates in Horseradish promote sinus drainage and respiratory clearing — AITC acts as a TRPA1 agonist that stimulates the nasal and sinus mucosa. Clinical studies of a standardized combination product containing Horseradish root (Angocin Anti-Infekt N) have demonstrated efficacy for acute sinusitis and bronchitis. A prospective cohort study in 1,649 adults found symptom reduction comparable to standard antibiotics, with fewer side effects. The German Commission E has recognized Horseradish for supportive treatment of respiratory tract infections and congestion. Traditionally, it has long been used as a warming, stimulating expectorant for sinusitis, bronchitis, and mucus-laden respiratory conditions, including seasonal complaints like hay fever.
Mullein leaves extract — 1,760 mg
Mullein (Verbascum thapsus) is one of the most historically established respiratory herbs in Western herbalism. First recommended for pulmonary conditions by Dioscorides nearly 2,000 years ago, its leaves and flowers contain mucilage that provides demulcent soothing of inflamed airways, while saponins act as natural expectorants to loosen and move mucus. A 2021 review published in PMC confirmed that anti-inflammatory phytochemicals in Mullein, particularly quercetin, correlate with its traditional respiratory uses. Mullein has been traditionally used for hay fever and allergic respiratory complaints, attributed to its antihistamine and anti-inflammatory constituents. Herbalists historically employed it to reduce congestion and mucous membrane irritation triggered by allergens. It is also traditionally used for bronchitis, coughs, sinus congestion, and sore throat across European, Turkish, and Native American folk medicine traditions. While preclinical evidence supports these mechanisms, large controlled human clinical trials are still needed.
