The Herbs Used in Golden Air
Codonopsis Root is one of the most popular tonics in Asian tonic herbalism. It builds Qi and tonifies the Spleen/Pancreas function (digestion and assimilation). It is also a powerful and very popular Lung tonic. Though it has a warm energy, it is not drying to the Lungs, and in fact benefits the moisture of the Lungs without producing any kind of noxious fluids. It strengthens the breath and improves respiratory function.
American Ginseng is a potent Qi tonic that specifically moistens and tonifies the Lungs. It is extremely popular in Asia for its benefits to those with dryness of the Lungs, since it has a Yin nature that helps produce healthy fluids in the Lungs. American Ginseng has a cool energy and is regarded as a pure Yin tonic. It is often used for dry cough and for fatigue due to chronic disease (not to treat the disease, but to replenish fluids). Wild Ginseng is generally used as a general tonic, while cultivated American Ginseng is generally considered to be effective for hot and dry conditions of the Lungs.
Astragalus Root, Schizandra Berry and Licorice Root are major tonic herbs used to strengthen the immune system and to tonify the Lungs.
Asparagus Root is a Yin tonic herb often used to nourish the fluids of the Lungs with an expectorant action. Ophiopogon Root, a close relative of Asparagus, is a powerful Yin-nourishing herb and is a primary ingredient in moisturizing formulas for the Lungs.
Ophiopogon Root is a close relative of Asparagus Root and is used in much the same way. It is a powerful Yin tonic that benefits the Lungs.
Morus Bark (Root Bark) is both a cooling tonic and a heat-purging herb for the Lungs. It moves moisture and helps clear “heated” phlegm. Morus Bark is often combined with lung tonics like Schizandra and with Aster. Aster warms the lungs, disperses phlegm and relieves coughing and wheezing.
Plyatycodon is a Lung tonic with sedative and anti-inflammatory action. It disperses mucus from the Lungs and throat.
