Su Zi Jiang Qi Wan (Pian) - Cough and Asthma Herbal Formula

Uses:  Cough and Asthma. Su Zi Jiang Qi Wan (Su Zi Jiang Qi Pian), literally translates as the "Perilla Fruit Pills to Direct the Qi Downward" and the formula is used to relieve coughing with shortness of breath and/or asthma.  In Traditional Chinese Medicine terms this formula is used for a relatively excess condition (with coughing, asthma, etc.) with an underlying deficiency (shortness of breath, perhaps weak lower back, legs, edema of limbs).  May be used for acute conditions as well as chronic conditions such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema.  The person may have a thicker white tongue coating that may appear greasy or slippery.*

Ingredients: Fructus Perillae (Zi Su Zi), Cortex Magnoliae Officinalis (Hou Po), Radix Peucedani (Qian Hu), Radix Glycyrrhizae (Gan Cao), Rhizoma Pinelliae (Zhi Ban Xia), Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae (Chen Pi), Radix Angelicae Sinensis (Dang Gui), Lignum Aquillariae Resinatum (Chen Xiang), Fructus Jujubae (Da Zao), Rhizoma Zingiberis Recens (Sheng Jiang), Cortex Cinnamomi (Rou Gui)

Recommended Dosage: Take 5 to 7 pills or 3 to 4 tablets 3 times per day. At full dose, one bottle renders an 8 to 10 day supply. For acute cases expect results within 5-14 days, for chronic cases you may use the formula for 2-5 weeks.

Caution: In cases that lack signs of deficiency (white, greasy tongue coating, edema, etc.) the formula Xiao Qing Long Wan may be appropriate.  Not suitable for dry cough with little phlegm, sore throat, and strong thirst. Avoid oily, spicy food while taking the product.(200 tablets)
