A formula close to my heart that I formulated during the pandemic for community care packages -- this blend helps to support and protect the lungs when you need respiratory support, and is specifically designed to clear 'damp,' stagnant patterns.

Known as a harmonizing herb, Dong Quai is fittingly never used alone in herbal remedies. Rather, this plant harmonizes with others to strengthen and support their benefits, often assisting reproductive and hormone health.*
Sweet Annie has been used for more than 2,000 years to support immune health, healthy digestion and maintain microbial balance.*
Supportive to the lungs and respiratory system, Japanese Honeysuckle encourages healthy mucus balance and helps to clear and detoxify “heat” in order to maintain immune homeostasis.*
As a blood tonic and lymphatic + immune superstar, Red Root helps to maintain healthy lymphatic flow and normal fluid balance.*
Known as a universal herbal ally in TCM, Ginger is able to assist our “digestive fire,” immune health, and even maintain a healthy inflammatory response. Considered a “guiding herb” in formulas, ginger “warms the body and spirit” as it boosts Spleen Qi and supports vitality.*
ALL ABOUT
…
Both the gut and the lungs have their own microbiome, which communicate in a constant, bidirectional manner via the “gut-lung axis”. The health of one directly affects the health of the other, with countless studies observing that lung imbalances are directly associated with gut microbiome disturbances.
When looking at lung health in terms of the ‘big picture’ (rather than a quick fix), we know that restoring balance to the gut microbiome leads to lung health and resilience in the face of both environmental and immune challenges. This formula goes a step further to support both the gut and oral microbiome, as these two are intimately intertwined.*

This blend contains Ginger and Sweet Annie, which are considered “damp-draining” herbs that support mucus balance in the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
Honeysuckle is considered “heat-clearing” to specifically target damp heat that can impact the lung microbiome. Dong Quai and Osha are included for healthy circulation to the lungs, as their rich aromatics are considered energetically opening and clearing. Red Root encourages lymphatic health to round out the formula with immune support for a complete approach.*
