[FONT="]In short, the bioflavonoids Rutin and Quercetin, interfere with your body?s histamine, which causes the stuffiness and stomach issues associated with allergies (for a more scientific discussion, see [/FONT][FONT="]this article[/FONT][FONT="]). If you suffer from food allergies and/or the more traditional respiratory allergies, consuming these particular bioflavonoids can help reduce inflammation and allergy symptoms. Rooibos teas provide one of the best natural ways to get these bioflavonoids working for you. Another great benefit of Rooibos teas is that they are caffeine-free. You can drink them from morning right up until bedtime without any issues. So give Rooibos teas a try if you are looking for relief from a stuffy, runny nose or even stomach nausea. [/FONT]
