Description

Designed especially for patients who experience seasonal allergies (allergic rhinitis) This formula is for the treatment of spleen qi vacuity resulting in lung qi vacuity and thus insecure defensive qi and/or lingering wind evils retained in the defensive exterior. Because of the close reciprocal relationship of the lungs, spleen, and kidneys vis vis the engenderment and functioning of the qi or due to immaturity, such a lung-spleen vacuity is often complicated by a kidney vacuity. In addition, because the lungs, spleen, and kidneys are the three viscera which control the movement and transformation of body fluids, there is concomitant enduring phlegm dampness.

In terms of diseases, this formula is meant to be taken preventively for allergic rhinitis of wind cold nature. That means allergic rhinitis with profuse, clear, phlegm, sneezing, and nasal congestion. However, this formula, by itself, is not meant for the treatment of acute allergic episodes. In particular, this formula is best for the prevention of allergic rhinitis occurring in the fall. In that case, these capsules can be begun in June to prevent autumn attacks or administered at least two weeks before expected seasonal recurrences.
