Use of the formula according to Traditional Chinese Medicine:

• clears heat
• expels hot wind
• eliminates toxins
• removes hidden pathogens

Description:

Although the formula carries the phrase "universal effect on removing toxins" in its Chinese name, the truth is that it best removes heat and toxins from the head and neck area. Its action there is truly universal... While its primary use is for acute external attacks such as tonsillitis, influenza, mumps, sinusitis and otitis media (with symptoms such as fever, chills, pain and swelling in the throat, pus on the tonsils, red and swollen eyes, facial swelling, restlessness...), it is also used very successfully in the treatment of so-called hidden pathogens, primarily and again in the neck and head area. The organism is attacked by "critters" that are often very resistant to treatment, such as various viruses (herpes simplex and zoster, infectious mononucleosis) and bacteria (erysipelas, recurring tonsillitis, furuncles and other skin affections), etc. Even after standard treatment is completed and everything seems fine, a part of the pathogen remains hidden in one of the deeper layers, waiting for its "opportunity". This is why it is called a "hidden pathogen". It can reactivate at any time when our defensive energy level drops below a critical threshold, or when it is not flowing as it should, for example due to stress, which generates heat through emotions. Moreover, this unwelcome guest causes us to not feel well in the meantime – we have the feeling that "something is coming on", we are tired and underperforming.

The formula contains herbs that clear heat from organs and tissues, remove toxins – e.g. pus, "clear" the throat and correct the proper mechanism of Qi. This makes it capable of "pulling out" pathogens even from deep within, and our energy and vitality return.
