Uses: Asthma, Bronchitis, and Emphysema. Ping Chuan Pill removes phlegm heat from the lung to relieve wheezing and asthma. It functions by reducing mucus, gives relief to chest constriction, and eases breathing. Ping Chuan Pill is used for coughing and difficulty in breathing which is worse in the evening or after overexertion, or in the presence of a common cold. It helps maintain bronchial function and a healthy breathing. The tonifying herbs in this formula strengthen the lungs and makes them less susceptible to future attacks.*
