Classical Chinese Medicine uses a traditional, proactive approach to supporting healthy immunity and immune response.
When immune function is at the forefront of health awareness, combining several formulas is a great strategy for maximum support and in alignment with traditional wisdom of keeping the body balanced, energized, and activated for appropriate response.
Here are three formulas that address supporting healthy Lung Immune response.
Great Guardian is the Jing Herbs formula that encapsulates our commitment to the philosophy of proactive health cultivation. No formula better exemplifies that than this combination of four outstanding immune supporting super-tonics, Reishi, Astragalus, Schisandra, and Gynostemma.
This formula features herbs that not only support immune function, but also regulate it.
The innate wisdom and dual action activity of these herbs make this combination a must have, as our exposure to pathogens has never been higher or more diverse.
