According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM),  attacks by exterior pathogens like Wind-Cold, Wind-Heat, And Wind-Dampness (virus, bacteria, fungus, etc.) are defended at the body's surface by our protective QI (WEI QI), and controlled by "the Lungs".  When our surface QI is weak, these pathogens can enter the body and disrupt our health.

This traditional remedy addresses symptoms caused by pathogens that have reached deeper into the body and are effecting the digestive system causing nausea, vomiting, stomach 'flu', or heat stroke.  Some of these events are considered, in TCM, to be Summer Colds.

Summer colds can be similar to common colds in that they produce symptoms such as chills, fever, headache, dry cough, and runny nose. On the other hand, summer colds can also result in gastrointestinal symptoms of deeper penetration including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, loss of appetite, and bloating. In the West, we might refer to this condition as "stomach flu", acute gastroenteritis, or heat stroke.

HUO XIANG ZHENG QI WAN is the goto formula for this condition. A household medicine in China, it is widely used by travelers, especially in summer time.

HUO XIANG ZHENG QI WAN relieves internal dampness, and regulates the downward flow of Qi to normalize digestion. It is used for both exterior and interior dampness.
