traditional Chinese medicine composition of this invention follows the core treatment principle of "promoting
lung function and relieving cough, resolving
phlegm and soothing the
throat, and clearing away residual pathogens". Targeting the
pathogenesis characteristics of acute and subacute cough after a cold, the principal and assistant herbs directly target the core symptoms of cough, quickly relieving acute manifestations such as cough and
sore throat; the
adjuvant herbs work on multiple targets, taking into account resolving
phlegm, clearing heat, and unblocking the meridians, adapting to different syndrome types and
disease stages, and preventing prolonged cough; the guiding herbs harmonize the properties of the herbs, mildly protect the body's vital energy, avoid the
harshness of the
medicine damaging body fluids, and at the same time eliminate the source of
phlegm production.
