STOP COUGH: Bronchial Support Herbal Tincture

This Chinese herbal remedy has anti-oxidation, anti-bacterial, and immune-regulation properties to provide symptomatic relief for coughing, over-production of phlegm, and shortness of breath. Overall, this is an excellent formulation to ameliorate respiratory symptoms; providing antitussive, anti-dyspnea, and expectorant curative effects.

In Chinese medicine, coughing is due to excess dampness which causes the Chi/Energy in the body to over-excite the respiratory tract resulting in what is known as Chi Reversal. The main herb used here is Red Tangerine Peel which has the function of dry dampness, eliminating phlegm, and promoting the smooth flow of Chi to redirect the Energy downwards to calm the respiratory tract. Another key herb used is Fritillaria which is excellent in resolving both acute and chronic cough as it transforms phlegm and moistens the throat. Because of its moistening property to alleviate bronchial inflammation, this herb acts as a bronchodilator to provide symptomatic relief for shortness of breath and wheezing. Chemically, Fritillaria species have alkaloids and other metabolites that act as the main active components that contribute multiple biological activities, including anti-tussive, expectorant, and anti-asthmatic effects. Traditionally in China, Fritillaria is one of the most used Chinese medicines for lung disease. For colds and flu season, this is a must-have item in your family medicine cabinet, especially with school-aged children vulnerable to pertussis/whooping cough.
