CHINAHERB Expel Lung Cold (Xiao Qing Long Tang / 小青龙汤) is a classical TCM formulation that warms the Lungs, dispels Cold, and transforms thin, clear Phlegm. Originating from Treatise on Febrile Diseases by the famous physician Zhang Zhongjing, this formula has been used for centuries to address Cold-induced cough, bronchitis, and asthma.

• Supports Lung, Spleen, and Kidney Qi to regulate body fluids.
• Provides relief from symptoms that worsen during cold weather.

🧘 Traditional Use in TCM

Expel Lung Cold is prescribed for Cold Evil invading the Lungs and disrupting the flow of body fluids. This causes accumulation and transformation into Phlegm, resulting in cough, wheezing, or asthma.

Typical symptoms include:

• White, thin, or foamy sputum resembling egg white

• Cold sensation in the chest and back

• Difficulty lying flat due to aggravated shortness of breath

• Slippery or pale tongue with a moist coating

Traditionally, this formula also supports fluid metabolism by assisting the Lungs, Spleen, and Kidneys in transforming and moving fluids properly.

🌱 Modern Applications

Today, Expel Lung Cold is widely used for:

• Acute and chronic bronchitis

• Asthma or COPD with Cold Phlegm

• Pneumonia and allergic rhinitis caused or worsened by cold exposure

• Whooping cough and emphysema with cold-type symptoms

Moreover, studies show that this formula helps regulate respiratory function, reduce inflammation, and ease airway constriction, making it an effective natural aid during colder months.

⚠️ Cautions

• Not suitable for Heat-type coughs or yellow, thick Phlegm.
• Avoid use during pregnancy unless prescribed by a qualified practitioner.
• Use under professional guidance for chronic respiratory conditions.
