About Nature’s Sunshine Lung Support Chinese

Your respiratory system works tirelessly to support your overall wellness, and when it needs extra support, traditional wisdom can offer time-tested solutions. Nature’s Sunshine Lung Support Chinese draws from thousands of years of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) knowledge to provide comprehensive respiratory support through a carefully balanced herbal formula.

This traditional formula, known in Chinese as “fu lei” meaning “strengthen the weak and thin,” was specifically developed to support what TCM practitioners call the “Metal constitution.” According to traditional Chinese philosophy, optimal health requires balance among five elemental energies: Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood. The Metal element is associated with the lungs and respiratory system, and when this energy is weakened, the body may benefit from targeted herbal support.

The Power of Traditional Chinese Herbal Wisdom

Each 2-capsule serving delivers 1040mg of a proprietary blend containing 16 carefully selected herbs that work synergistically to support respiratory wellness. The formula’s primary herbs—astragalus, aster, bupleurum, and Asian ginseng—have been cornerstones of Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries, valued for their ability to support immune function, energy levels, and respiratory comfort.

Astragalus root, known in Chinese as “huang qi” or “yellow leader,” is considered one of the 50 fundamental herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine. This adaptogenic herb has been used for over 2,000 years and is valued for its potential to support immune system function and help the body maintain its natural defenses. Modern research has identified compounds called astragalosides in this root that provide antioxidant benefits.

Asian ginseng root (Panax ginseng) brings its renowned adaptogenic properties to this formula. Traditionally consumed to support memory, endurance, mood, and concentration, ginseng has been treasured in Asian cultures for centuries as a tonic herb that helps the body adapt to various stressors while supporting overall vitality.

Supporting Your Body’s Natural Balance

The complete formula includes additional supportive herbs such as platycodon root, which has been traditionally used in respiratory formulas, and dong quai root, valued for its nourishing properties. Ophiopogon root tuber adds its moistening qualities, while lycium fruit provides additional nutritional support. The inclusion of both blue citrus peel and regular citrus peel reflects the traditional Chinese medicine principle of using different parts of plants for their unique therapeutic properties.

Schisandra fruit, known as the “five-flavor fruit” because it remarkably contains sour, sweet, bitter, salty, and pungent tastes, has been used for centuries for its adaptogenic benefits. This unique berry is valued in TCM for its ability to support the body’s natural stress response while promoting overall wellness.

The formula is completed with licorice root, a harmonizing herb that has been used in traditional medicine systems worldwide. In Chinese medicine, licorice is often included in formulas to help balance and harmonize the other herbs while providing its own soothing benefits.
