    The physical environment for babies and young children can both nurture and challenge the physiological competence of the organism during the early years of development. Even a healthy respiratory system can become vulnerable to an array of physical, chemical and biological stressors, including air pollutants, weather changes, microorganisms and allergens such as dust, pollen, mold, animal dander and house dust. Stressors may also include toxins such as second-hand cigarette smoke, insecticides, pesticides, or household cleaning agents and chemical off-gassing from building materials or carpeting.

    Obstruction of Lung Qi can manifest as an occasional restriction of the chest, causing insufficiency of Qi and Essence and weakening the body’s defenses.

    Obstructed Lung Qi is generally differentiated into two patterns:

    1. Excess type, due to a stagnation and/or reflux of Lung
    2. Deficiency type, due to a depletion of Qi in the Kidneys and

    Occasional coughing is almost always a manifestation of stagnant Qi that has been trapped in the chest and is unable to descend. What causes the Qi to become stuck may be occasional Phlegm, dryness, cold or hot air, wind, physical strain and fatigue, emotional upset or exposure to environmental agents (external invasions).

    RATIONALE

    Open Air combines Perilla fruit, Lepidium seed, Apricot seed, White mulberry root bark and Platycodon root to descend the Lung Qi, clear Lung Heat, expel Wind-Heat from the Lung, dispel Phlegm, open the chest and soothe occasionally irritated airways. Honey fried Purple aster root, honey fried Stemona root, Anemarrhena rhizome and Tangerine dried rind of mature fruit replenish moisture in the Lung and dispel Phlegm. Chinese amomum fruit soothes the Stomach, aids digestion and warms the Spleen and Kidneys, countering any Dampness induced by the moisturizing ingredients, and together with Schisandra fruit, aids the Kidneys in anchoring the descending Lung Qi and retaining Moisture and Essence. Chinese licorice root and rhizome gently tonifies the Qi of the Stomach and Spleen, soothing occasionally irritated membranes, dispersing Heat and harmonizing the ingredients.
