Secara Allergy & Sinus Relief

The original formula was created in 1253 A.D. (before there was such a thing as Kleenex). With its immune-boosting powers, Shitake mushroom is a centerpiece of this formula, while Eucalyptus soothes coughs and nasal congestion. Secara has also updated it with a dose of Organic Eyebright to help ease runny noses and red eyes.

NOTE: Because of its potency, eucalyptus shouldn’t be given to small children.

Secara Cold & Flu

This traditional Chinese herbal blend dates back to 1798. Secara has added Thyme Oil, commonly used in Europe during cold and flu season for its anti-fungal and immune-boosting properties. Also included is Echinacea root, another proven immune strengthener. Peppermint reduces congestion while Yarrow brings down a fever.

NOTE: Thyme should be avoided by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Secara Digestion Formula

Secara Immunity Boost

Keeping immune systems strong since 1481! For centuries, Astragalus has been used as a strengthening tonic for weakened immunity. It’s the centerpiece of this powerful blend, along with Shitake mushroom and Echinacea. Great for anyone who suffers from recurrent colds, respiratory issues, or urinary tract infections.

Secara Joint Relief

If you suffer pain from arthritis, sciatica, or degenerative disc disease, consider this time-honored Chinese herb blend. It’s enhanced with Boswellia, used for centuries to reduce inflammation and improve blood flow. Modern clinical trials have caught on to what herbalists have known for eons: the compounds in Boswellia are now proven to block a chemical reaction that leads to inflammation.

Secara Pain Relief

Whether it’s a headache or pain from repetitive stress disorders, tendonitis, arthritis, or other muscular-skeletal problems, give this formula a try. At its heart is White Willow Bark, used throughout Europe and North America to reduce pain and inflammation (it has some of the same compounds used in aspirin). Best of all, clinical trials show that White Willow Bark relieves pain without the GI distress sometimes associated with over-the-counter drugs. Secara has also added soothing Skullcap, Valerian, Lavender, and Hawthorn to the mix, all of which have calming effects.

NOTE: Should not be taken by pregnant women, women suffering from excessive menstrual bleeding, or anyone suffering from active blood disorders.

Secara Sleep Aid

If the sheep-counting thing just isn’t working, this might do the trick. The formula was created all the way back in 220 A.D.; Secara has updated it with a boost of Skullcap for calming, Hawthorn for easing anxiety, and Passionflower to soothe a frazzled nervous system. Also included are a touch of Lavender Oil (a proven anti-depressant) and Valerian Oil, which has been shown to help relieve insomnia.

NOTE: Use with caution if taking barbituates, sedative medications, anti-psychotic, or anti-epilectic drugs.

Secara Stress Relief

When the modern world is just too much to handle, turn to the ancient world for help.

This centuries-old remedy (circa 1085 A.D.) also contains Artichoke Leaf extract to strengthen the liver and help the digestive system work properly (a good thing when you’re on your second week of late-night pizza runs). Plus, Peppermint Oil has a relaxing effect on systems that are wound just a little too tight.  NOTE:  This formula is also great for easing PMS symptoms!
