Why it works:
Cold Away by Health Concerns formula is modified from a combination of the Chinese formulas Gan Mao Ling and Yin Qiao. Isatis concentrate (da qin ye and ban lan gen) includes two clear heat, clean toxin herbs. Ban lan gen is especially important for its action of entering the throat. Lonicera (jin yin hua) is used for its action to clear heat and toxins and expel wind. Andrographis (chuan xin lian) is used to clear heat and fire toxins and is often used with lonicera (jin yin hua) for early stages of externally contracted wind-heat with fever and sore throat. Forsythia fruit (lian qiao) clears heat and fire toxin. Scute (huang qin) clears heat and drains fire, especially from the upper burner and is often used for cold sores. Platycodon (jie geng) is used to soothe the throat, open and disseminate the lung qi and expels phlegm in both warm and cold disorders it is often used for phlegm and cough. Wild chrysanthemum (ye ju hua) drains fire, relieves toxins, and can be used for sore swollen throats and wind-heat causing red eyes. Citrus peel (chen pi) is used to address phlegm and cough.
Angelica (bai zhi) expels wind and alleviates pain and in this formula is used to direct the herbal formula to the head especially the nasal passages. Magnolia flower (xin yi hua) and xanthium (cang er zi) unblock the nasal passages, and along with Angelica (bai zhi) and wild chrysanthemum increase the efficacy of this formula for entering the nasal passages and clearing sinus congestion. Licorice (gan cao) helps to direct the herbs into the proper channels as well as clears heat and fire toxin, especially in sore throat and cold sores.
