Temple Guardian is a Spagyrically processed Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formula that supports the Lung. According to Chinese medicine, the Lung governs the inhalation of pure Qi from the air and the exhalation of impure Qi. The Lung is also believed to play a major role in the overall formation of Qi within the body. This process begins with the Spleen extracting Qi from food and sending it to the Lung, where it is combined with pure Qi inhaled from the air to form “gathering Qi”, or “Qi of the chest.” This Qi is dispersed to all parts of the body, manifesting as “nutritive Qi (Ying Qi),” which nourishes tissues in the body, and as “defensive Qi (Wei Qi),” which protects the body.

According to classical Chinese theory, if the lungs are healthy, Wei Qi fends off invading pathogenic factors that the body is exposed to; if they are weak, the body is more susceptible to inhaled pathogens. Temple Guardian is a classic TCM formulation used to support the generation Wei Qi coming from the Lung by clearing wind-heat, resolving phlegm, and cleaning fire toxins in conditions related to the Respiratory System. Based on Yin Qiao & Gan Mao Ling
