Metal is the stuff swords and shields are made of, so the element of metal in Chinese medicine is associated with the immune system and the ability of the body to protect itself from infection. The primary line of immune defense is the mucous membranes lining our lungs and digestive tract, as most infections enter the body through these membranes. This helps explain why the Chinese metal element is also associated with the lungs and colon.

Lung Support is a Chinese formula designed to enhance deficient metal energy. It enhances the function of the mucous membranes lining the lungs and the colon to improve immune response. Chinese Lung Support is useful for people who suffer from chronic infections of the lungs, frequent colds and flu, dry cough, tightness in the chest, shortness of breath, general weakness and fatigue. It can also be helpful for chronic lung diseases, including emphysema, tuberculosis, chronic asthma or bronchitis and lungs that have been damaged or weakened by smoking.

The deficiency of metal energy can be associated with deep-seated sadness that can make a person aloof, cold and withdrawn. This formula can help to resolve this deep-seated grief. People who are unnaturally thin, suffer from weak muscles and energy loss or who are pale with flushed cheeks may also find this formula helpful.

Lung Support stimulates the immune system and increases the body’s stamina during times of weakness. It is a decongestant and expectorant. By dilating bronchioles and increasing blood circulation, it restores deep breathing and strengthens the lungs.

For respiratory weakness it is suggested to take 3 capsules 3 times daily. Also available in a TCM concentrate where the dose is 1 capsule twice daily.
