Luffakind – a product for allergic rhinitis in children

Intorduction

It has been proven that an increasing number of children suffer from allergic diseases.  Nevertheless, very few medicines provide an efficient and specific action.  The active herbal ingredients contained in Luffakind act in a synergetic manner to ensure immediate improvement (in more than 90% of the cases)  while guaranteeing perfect tolerance.

Hay fever and allergic rhinitis are adverse reactions to allergens that appear to affect more and more people.  Victims suffer from running nose, itching eyes, skin, throat  and lack of energy.  There are a number of remedies which offer temporary relief but not without significant side effects. Luffakind on the other hand is a widely accepted combination for the prevention and treatment of allergic rhinitis without side effects and  irritations,  improving the immune-defence system in the long run.

It is recommended to start the preventive therapy before polinization period.
