In Traditional Chinese Medicine breathing is of great significance, for when breathing is insufficient, so is energy. Respiratory problems cause the blood to be insufficiently oxygenated. Since well-oxygenated blood is essential to a healthy, energized body, insufficiently oxygenated blood can lead to feelings of lethargy, in addition to the symptoms caused by the respiratory problem. Common respiratory problems include coughs, which are muscle spasms in reaction to irritation or blockage in the bronchial tubes, excessive phlegm, sinusitis, bronchitis, and asthma.

Respiratory Aid contains many tonic herbs that nourish and strengthen the lungs, the heart and blood, the immunity, and the entire body. It also contains herbs that stimulate, balance and nourish the central nervous system. Formulas that strengthen and nourish the lungs with tonic herbs and also act on the nervous system help respiratory problems. Respiratory Aid contains herbs that work with the body to correct common respiratory problems so that the respiratory system is working efficiently. For specific respiratory problems, the demulcents and expectorants soothe inflamed respiratory mucous membranes helping with coughs; the herbs with phlegm-reducers and anti-inflammatories help with excessive phlegm and sinusitis; and the antispasmodic, demulcent and expectorant herbs help relax the bronchi and ease congestion.
