Indications:
External Wind invasion affecting the Lung, especially Wind-Heat or Wind-Cold patterns presenting with cough, often with lingering symptoms, mild heat, or irritation in the throat and lungs.
Signs & Symptoms:
Cough (dry or with mild phlegm), throat irritation or itchiness, sore throat, mild fever or aversion to wind, nasal congestion, hoarseness, possible slight chills, thin white or yellowish coating on the tongue, and a floating or rapid pulse. In chronic or “jia wei” (modified) cases, symptoms may persist after an initial illness.
Actions of the Main Herbs:
Zi Wan (Aster root) moistens the Lungs, stops cough, and resolves phlegm.
Bai Bu (Stemona root) suppresses cough and alleviates irritation in the respiratory tract.
Jie Geng (Platycodon root) opens and disseminates Lung Qi, helps guide herbs upward to the Lung, and expels phlegm.
Chen Pi (Tangerine peel) regulates Qi, dries Dampness, and helps resolve phlegm accumulation.
Jing Jie (Schizonepeta herb) releases the exterior and disperses Wind.
Bo He (Mint) lightly disperses Wind-Heat and clears the throat.
Gan Cao (Licorice root) harmonizes the formula, moistens the Lung, and relieves throat irritation.
In the “Jia Wei” (modified) version, additional herbs may be included depending on presentation (e.g., herbs to clear Heat, resolve more phlegm, or further soothe the throat).
Dosage & Course of Treatment:
Take 8–12 pills, three times daily, preferably after meals or as directed by a practitioner. Typically used short-term for acute or subacute cough, or as a modifying formula tailored to persistent symptoms.
Ingredients:
– Aster tataricus root (紫菀, Zi Wan)
– Stemona japonica root (百部, Bai Bu)
– Platycodon grandiflorus root (桔梗, Jie Geng)
– Citrus reticulata peel (陳皮, Chen Pi)
– Schizonepeta tenuifolia herb (荊芥, Jing Jie)

– Glycyrrhiza uralensis root (甘草, Gan Cao)
(“Jia Wei” versions may include additional herbs depending on the manufacturer and intended modification.)
(La composición puede variar ligeramente según el fabricante.)
Cautions & Contraindications:
Not suitable for cough due to Lung Yin deficiency with significant dryness or chronic deficiency without external pathogen involvement, unless modified appropriately. Use with caution in individuals with chronic or complex respiratory conditions requiring pattern differentiation. Avoid long-term unsupervised use. Not intended as a standalone treatment for serious or unresolved respiratory disease without practitioner guidance.
Practitioner-only product:
A consultation is recommended prior to use to ensure the formula is appropriate for the individual’s pattern diagnosis.
