Breathe Activator TCM Concentrate. Chinese
Overview
Want to improve your lung health?
Breathe Activator® TCM Concentrate contains herbs that have been traditionally used for bronchial and lung support.
This highly concentrated Chinese herbal formula helps remove toxins from the lungs and supports healthy respiratory function.
Breathe Activator® TCM Concentrate combines herbal ingredients that may help the bronchioles to clear waste and maintain lung health.
It also encourages the production of mucus to aid in cleansing the respiratory tract.
The Chinese name for Breathe Activator® is xuan fei, which can be translated to mean “ventilate the lungs.”
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) philosophy names five distinct energies that permeate the body: Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood.
In order to feel your best, these energies must be in balance.
Traditional Chinese Medicine would consider this a formula for a stressed metal constitution.
Specifically, citrus peel and schisandra support the body’s efforts to clear waste from the respiratory system and enhance energy in the lungs.
To strengthen your metal element, try Breathe Activator® TCM Concentrate (+).

How It Works
According to Eastern philosophy, life permits us to work with what we have on earth here and now—body and mind—in order to reclaim and maintain the innate energy and spirit that reside within us. Energy and spirit must be awakened, nurtured and balanced in order for life to flourish.
Under TCM philosophy, Breathe Activator® TCM Concentrate would be considered a formula for a stressed metal constitution (metal-reducing).
Tangerine Rind
Tangerine rind, or peel, supports the body’s efforts to clear waste from the respiratory system and enhances energy in the lungs. In TCM, the rind of this citrus fruit is used to dry up "dampness" in the lungs. It is also used to stop hiccups and combat fatigue and loss of appetite.
Typhonium
Typhonium supports the respiratory system and helps reduce phlegm. It is used in TCM for coughs and other respiratory concerns.
Bupleurum
Bupleurum is the most important “cooling herb” according to Chinese herbology. Bupleurum is a bitter herb that is believed to aid the upward flow of "chi", or the body’s living force, thereby strengthening the body against stress. Bupleurum has been used to maintain normal nervous system function during mental stress. Bupleurum also strengthens the immune response and is often used in TCM to relieve respiratory congestion and provide relief from cold symptoms.
Hoelen
Hoelen sclerotium has been used for centuries in TCM to “drain dampness” and increase urinary flow. Hoelen also helps to relieve congestion and feelings of heaviness in the body.
Platycodon
Platycodon originated in the meadows of China, Korea and Japan. TCM notes its ability to expel phlegm and support respiratory health. Chinese herbalists often use platycodon in formulas for relieving symptoms of respiratory congestion and throat discomfort.
Ophiopogon
Ophiopogon is used in Chinese herbology to support yin and lung function. The plant is said to have tissue moisturizing properties, moistening the lungs and intestines. TCM considers ophiopogon helpful for dry coughs, dryness of the mouth, and throat discomfort.
Ginger
Ginger has been used as both food and medicine in Asia for thousands of years. Traditionally, ginger has helped with a laundry list of complaints, including cold, fever, joint discomfort, aches, cramps, nervous system support, oral health, and to support healthy immune function. Ginger contains natural compounds that help reduce body aches and open the airways.
Schisandra
Schisandra has been used for centuries for its important adaptogenic benefits. Widely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), schisandra berries are called the five-flavored fruit because they possesses a remarkable taste that is sour, sweet, bitter, salty and pungent. Schisandra is known to support the body’s efforts to clear waste from the respiratory system and enhance energy in the lungs. Schisandra is used in TCM for coughs and wheezing due to lung deficiency.
Licorice
Chinese licorice root has been a key part of many Chinese herbal formulas for thousands of years. TCM has relied on licorice root to provide respiratory and digestive system support. Most Chinese herb combinations use licorice to balance the other herbs and to promote vitality. It has a reputation for helping the entire body maintain balance and for promoting well-being. Traditional western herbalists use licorice root as a general tonic and as a natural expectorant to clear the respiratory tract and help the body combat cough. Licorice root helps to loosen and thin mucus in the respiratory tract, making it easier to cough up and clear the airways.
