- Eases allergy symptoms
- Regulates immune system during, and prior to allergy season
- As a preventative during cold and flu season, travel, or other stressful times
- For ongoing immune and respiratory support
Atsáli™ was created to ease allergic symptoms caused by tree and grass pollen, mold, pets and other allergens. Atsáli™ quiets common allergy symptoms such as sneezing and runny, itchy nose, throat, eyes and ears. It should be taken hourly at the first sign of symptoms, and used as a preventative before your allergies even start (link to see “Dosage & Cautions”). Because Atsáli™ regulates the immune system, strengthens the respiratory systems, and has anti-microbial properties, it can be used to ward off colds and flus during the season, times of stress, or when traveling.

Zoi Medicinals™ tinctures are alcohol and vegetable glycerin extracts of non-toxic herbs. Zoi Medicinals™ formulas contain 10-18% alcohol. Alcohol has been used as a solvent in herbal tinctures for centuries. It extracts active ingredients from the herbs that are not water-soluble, such as essential oils, alkaloids and resins. It enables the tincture to be fast-acting, potent, shelf-stable for long periods of time, and enables their "grab and go” properties (easily portable, ready to take, no refrigeration required). Zoi Medicinals tinctures use organic ethyl alcohol that is USP certified. It is the same alcohol found in vanilla extract (used for cooking), other tinctures, and liquid homeopathic remedies. The dose is very small and can be diluted into water or other drink making the final alcohol content less than 0.5%, which is similar or less than, the amount of alcohol in a cup of kombucha. All herbs used in the manufacturing of Zoi Medicinals™ products have been tested for heavy metals, bacteria, fungus, and pesticides.
Directions and Dosage
- At first sign of allergy symptoms, take hourly, up to 7 doses.
- Four to six weeks prior to the onset of your allergy season, take standard dose.
- During cold and flu season, travel, or times of stress, take standard dose.
Liquid tinctures are rapidly absorbed by the body and may be taken directly by mouth or in a small amount of water or juice. If alcohol content is a concern, a standard dose (1.5 ml) in one cup of water dilutes the alcohol content to less than 0.5%.
Dosage
The standard, adult dose is three droppers full (1.5 ml) three times a day, or as directed by your health care professional. A dropper full is drawn by full compression of the dropper bulb (the dropper may not appear “full”).
- Standard adult dose (100-150 lb) – 3 droppers full (1.5 ml), three times a day.
- Standard adult dose (>150 lb) – 4 droppers full (2.0 ml), three times a day.
- Standard child dose (30-100 lb) – 1 dropper full (0.5 ml), three times a day.
For some, it may take several weeks to notice an effect. Consistency is more important than dose, so we encourage you to take some tincture each day even if you can’t keep to a regular schedule. As your body responds to the tincture, you may decrease the dose, accordingly.
Cautions
- Take tinctures with meals, as the most common side effect is minor stomach upset.
- Consult a medical professional if pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Not to exceed five droppers full at a time.
- Discontinue use if any new symptoms appear, including symptoms of allergic reaction.
- If experiencing minor headache or digestive discomfort, reduce the dosage to ⅓ of starting dose and gradually increase to the desired dosage.
- Every body is different, and herbs alter internal processes, so it is important to find the best dosage for you at any given time, while staying within the recommended range.
Biomedical & TCM Details
Atsáli™ is comprised of herbs that influence the allergy response in clinical and laboratory studies. Nettle has inhibitory effects on cells and pathways involved in allergic rhinitis (1). One clinical study found freeze-dried nettle effective in relieving allergy symptoms with almost half of the patients finding it equally or more effective than their allergy medicine (2). Other herbs in Atsali™ have effects on histamine release in laboratory studies (3, 4), and reduce overall inflammation, with distinct action on bronchial inflammation (5,6,7,8). Cordyceps improves immune and respiratory functions (9), and elderberry has been shown in laboratory studies to have anti-microbial and anti-viral effects, specifically against the influenza virus (10,11,12,13).
