Respiratory & Lung Support · ⚪ Metal Element · 💧
Cough that won't quit? Phlegmy lungs? Seasonal stuff getting to you? Your lungs need some backup.
In TCM, Metal is your lungs and your immune boundary — the barrier between you and the outside world.
When Metal's strong, you breathe easy, your skin's clear, and your immune system handles whatever's going around. When it's weak, you catch everything, your lungs feel heavy, and that scratchy throat never quite goes away.
5E Shield protects and strengthens your Metal element.
Four botanicals. One job: keep your lungs clear and strong.
Nourishes the lung yin and clears heat. Especially helpful when lungs feel dry, tight, or irritated — a classic for hot, dry coughs and post-illness recovery.
The premier lung herb. Opens up the lungs, helps clear phlegm, and directs the action of the other herbs upward to the respiratory tract.
Tonics the lung and spleen simultaneously. Strengthens the defensive Qi and supports recovery after lung-related illness.
Nourishes lung yin and generates fluids. A gentle, deep moisturizer for your lungs — especially good when the air is dry or after a lingering cough.
Color in cup: Warm golden-amber.
Aroma: Fresh ginger with a hint of honey from the licorice.
Flavor: Warming and slightly spicy from the ginger, softened by the cordyceps. Licorice adds a gentle sweetness at the end.
Body: Warming and clearing. Great hot during cold season.

It's more for respiratory support than allergy-specific relief, but many people find it helps with the lung-related symptoms of seasonal allergies — the congestion, the heavy feeling in the chest. Lily bulb and Solomon's seal are both excellent for dry, irritated lungs.
