Bai He Gu Jin Tang: When the Lungs Are Thirsty

Respiratory Balm

Our lungs love a little moisture; they are like a delicate flower that wilts in dryness. With prolonged dryness, or after a period of respiratory discomfort, the “Lung Yin” (the moisturizing element) can become depleted. This manifests as a dry, itchy throat and nose, and a feeling of warmth.Bai He Gu Jin Tangis the formula to fix this.

The Leading Actor: Bai He (Lily Bulb)

The lily bulb is white, soft, and moisturizing. It symbolizes purity and tranquility. In this formula, it has a direct nourishing effect on the lungs.

Synergie met Rehmannia

The formula combines the lily withRehmannia (Sheng in Shu Di Huang), which nourishes the Kidneys. In TCM, the Kidneys support the Lungs (like mother and child, or better: like root and branch). By moistening the Kidneys, they can send fluid upwards to the Lungs.

Application

This formula acts as an internal balm. It soothes the throat, moisturizes the airways, and supports normal, calm breathing. It’s particularly suitable for people who are sensitive to dry air or who use their voice frequently.
