032 DING CHUAN WAN – Whispering in the Ginkgo Canopy

Herbal formula according to Traditional Chinese Medicine

This traditional herbal formula is based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is traditionally associated with harmonizing Lung function, regulating Lung Qi, and transforming phlegm (Tan 痰).

In TCM terminology, it is used in patterns described as cough and shortness of breath associated with phlegm and external wind invasion, where the natural movement of Lung Qi is disrupted.

The formula combines herbs traditionally described as supporting the dispersing and descending function of Lung Qi, relieving breathing, and clearing heat-phlegm.

Specific health effects cannot be claimed according to European Union legislation.

Characteristics according to TCM

This formula is primarily associated with:

• regulating Lung Qi
• relieving shortness of breath
• clearing heat from the Lungs
• transforming phlegm (Tan)

Traditional composition and formula principles

The formula combines herbs addressing both external and internal factors:

• Ma Huang 麻黄 and Bai Guo 白果 restore Lung function and ease breathing
• Xing Ren 杏仁 and Su Zi 苏子 support the descending function of Lung Qi and reduce cough
• Ban Xia 半夏 and Jie Geng 桔梗 transform phlegm and open the airways
• Huang Qin 黄芩 and Sang Bai Pi 桑白皮 clear Lung heat
• Zi Wan 紫菀 and Gan Cao 甘草 support cough relief and harmonize the formula

This reflects a balanced approach of releasing the exterior while clearing internal phlegm-heat.

In modern formulations, some ingredients may be adapted in accordance with EU legislation.

Traditional use

In TCM, this formula is used in patterns described as cough and dyspnea caused by external wind combined with internal phlegm.

These conditions may be associated with:

• shortness of breath
• cough with thick yellow phlegm
• chest oppression
• a combination of external cold and internal heat

These concepts are based on TCM diagnostics and do not represent modern medical diagnoses.

Warning

Not suitable for conditions described as chronic dyspnea due to Qi deficiency or external wind invasion without phlegm-heat.

Persistent or unclear symptoms should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare professional.
