An attack of Pathogenic Wind Heat commonly ends up affecting the Lungs. The viral strains that have developed over recent years tend to move quickly and deeply into the upper respiratory area.

Coughing up yellow or green phlegm indicates toxic Heat congesting in the Lungs. This is a potentially serious stage. It is essential to treat the condition aggressively by taking Cough every 2-3 hours, if necessary, until symptoms begin to resolve.

Herbs in this formula help Wet Heat because of their ability to stop cough reflex and break up the Wet Heat congesting in the Lungs. Strong-acting herbs included have been shown to have pronounced anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties. Assisting this group is an herb that gets rid of the toxic Heat, soothes the Lungs, and helps balance the other dry herbs in the formula.

Phlegm congestion is causing the symptoms of cough and tightness of the chest. The addition of Heat makes it stickier and more difficult to expel. The coughing will stop when normal circulation of the Lung Qi can be restored. This requires additional herbs to open the Lungs and treat the stagnation aspect of the toxic Wet Heat. The longer the lungs remain congested, the weaker they will become. This will only compound the difficulty in eliminating the increasingly entrenched toxic Wet Heat.
