Sun Ten Qing Zao Jiu Fei Tang | Eriobotrya & Ophiopogon Combination Capsules | 清燥救肺湯 / Default Title

An old Chinese lung formula from the 1800s, now in capsules you do not have to boil for an hour.

Qing Zao Jiu Fei Tang translates roughly to "clear dryness, rescue the lungs," which is a pretty dramatic name for something that comes in a bottle instead of a cape. Sun Ten makes this one the traditional way, just condensed into capsules, because most of us do not own a ceramic pot or the patience to simmer bark and roots on a stovetop for an afternoon. The formula pairs eriobotrya (loquat leaf) with ophiopogon (a tuberous root that sounds like a dinosaur but is actually just really good at moisture support) alongside a handful of other classical herbs used for centuries in Chinese herbal practice.

What This Formula Is About

In traditional Chinese herbalism, "dryness" is treated almost like weather. Too much of it, and the throat and lungs feel like they need a humidifier. This blend is formulated around that idea. It is not a cough drop, it is not a decongestant, and it is definitely not a substitute for water, which you should still be drinking, because water is free and this is not.

• Supports healthy lung and respiratory comfort
• Supports a calm, soothed throat
• Promotes the body's natural moisture balance
• Traditionally used in Chinese herbal formulas for dryness-related discomfort
• Supports overall respiratory wellness as part of a healthy daily routine

How It's Made

Sun Ten extracts and concentrates the herbs using traditional pharmaceutical processes, then puts the extract into capsules so you are not stuck steeping a bag of dried plant matter that smells like a forest floor. That part of the process is handled. You just have to swallow a capsule with water, which is a task most people are already fairly experienced with.

Who Might Want This

People interested in traditional Chinese wellness support, folks who like their supplements with a few thousand years of documented use behind them, and anyone who has ever thought "my throat feels like a hallway in a house with the heat on too high." That is a very specific feeling and this formula was designed with exactly that kind of dryness in mind, in the structure/function sense, not the medical sense. We are a supplement, not a doctor. We do not diagnose. We just show up in capsule form and support what your lungs are already trying to do.

Sun Ten has been producing granule and capsule extracts of classical Chinese formulas for decades, using standardized extraction methods so the ratio of herbs stays consistent from batch to batch. Consistency matters here. Nobody wants a formula named after "rescuing the lungs" to be a little different every time, that seems like the one place you'd want reliability.
