Description
Li Fei Lung Support is indicated specifically for Lung Yin vacuity where there is debility of the Lung Qi with Heat and Dryness. This formula is most commonly used for a chronic cough without sputum and chronic shortness of breath with dryness of the throat. In Chinese medical texts, the Lung is compared to a bell, sonorous with a ringing tone when healthy. When diseased, the Lung is like a cracked bell, muffled in tone and without resonance. This prescription is appropriate for those who smoke or have smoked for some period of time when the Heat has dried out the Lung Yin. This formula is also beneficial for the patient who has a chronic cough, tires easily from slight exertion and whose Kidneys are depleted and fail to grasp the Qi (from the Lungs) . Li Fei Lung Support formula contains dong chong xia cao (cordyceps) a premier tonic herb which supports both the Yin and the Yang and has been used for centuries to strengthen the Lung Qi as well as the entire body.
