Throat Zap











Use Throat Zap for relief from a sore throat or the early stages of a cold. Ideally, this remedy will be used the minute you begin noticing the symptoms. It may also be used preventatively if you are feeling run down or those around you are getting sick.

Function: Clears Wind/Heat and relieves sore throat.

Guiding Formula: Yin Qiao San: Lonicera (Jin Yin Hua), Forsythia (Lian Qiao), Platycodon (Jie Geng), Arctium Seed (Niu Bang Zi), Mint (Bo He), Schizonepeta (Jing Jie), Bamboo Leaf (Dan Zhu Ye), Phragmitis (Lu Gen) and Licorice (Gan Cao).

Additions: This Yin Qiao variation adds several anti-viral herbs. Isatis Root (Ban Lan Gen) and Echinacea help to clear heat and, along with Lonicera (Jin Yin Hua) and Forsythia (Lian Qiao), provide a potent anti-viral component. Bupleurum (Chai Hu) relieves the effects of stress, which often plays a role in those getting sick. A pinch of Ginseng (Ren Shen) is added for those who are run down.
