Explanation
This formula is for the Qi Level within the context of the 4 Levels. At the Wei Level, the pathogenic factor is on the Exterior and the main symptoms are the simultaneous subjective feeling of cold (called aversion to cold) and objective hot feeling of the forehead to touch. Once the aversion to cold goes and the child feels hot, then the pathogenic factor has penetrated into the Qi Level and it is in the Interior.
This formula therefore addresses Phlegm-Heat in the Lungs at the Qi Level.

LIQUID CONCENTRATES — 8:1
Complete extraction liquid concentrates accentuate the nourishing herbal essence of the formula while preserving the five flavors and essential oils. Our liquid concentrates feature high herbal activity and increased extractable solids without compromising herbal function. This 8:1 concentration strength yields a very potent herbal liquid with a more viscous consistency.
Products are manufactured using a 'low heat' multi-phase process consisting of:
- Maceration
- Saturation
- Circulation
- Percolation
- Concentration/Reduction
Our herbal staff concluded that the traditional five flavors and the formula function, which includes the qi dynamic, are often compromised during most extraction processes—especially when herbs are processed to produce a product which yields high "solids in solution." In other words, it is not the amount of solids by themselves that is important, but the activity of those solids.
This research has led to the development of an extraction process which produces our highly refined herbal products. Our proprietary methodology preserves the essential oils that awaken the senses and retain the delicate balance of the traditional five flavors which influence the qi dynamic necessary to produce the specific energetic activity of each formula. When increased nourishing essence for supplementation is required, our phase processing and temperature controls allow for maximizing the extractable solids without compromising any herbal activity.
