Anti-Flu Herbs

Handmade Aromatic Anti-flu Herbal Bag

The Chinese has a tradition of putting fragrant herbs in a small bag, and wearing the bag to fend off diseases and to promote health. Such activities in documented history can be traced back to Chin Dynasty, about 2,400 years ago. In 2003, when the Bird Flu (SARS) was spreading in China , such herbal bags became popular again.

Researchers have found that such herbal bags can fight infectants mainly in two ways. One is that some of the herbs have the effect of killing various bacteria and viruses in direct contact. When the air is permeated with the herb fragrance, bacteria and viruses are less likely to survive before being breathed in. Another way is the finding that these herbal fragrances can increase the level of secrete IgA in nasal mucosa. Secrete IgA is a type of protean that is made by the human body's immune system to fight against viruses. The boost of secrete IgA is considered the major effect of such herbal fragrance for preventing infectious diseases.

This product can be hung in a car, office, cubicle, by your pillow or around a person's neck. It is specifically designed to prevent the Swine Flu (H1N1 type) and various infectious diseases that usually happen to the upper respiratory tract. In addition to protecting against diseases, it is also able to clear one's mind and improve one's spirits.
