Magnolia Scute 068

This dispels pathogenic Wind (both Wind-Heat and Wind-Cold) that has lodged in the nasal passages and thus alleviates nasal discharge as well as nasal obstruction. Thus, it provides a suitable base formula for the treatment of acute rhinitis – both infective and allergic types.

It should be noted that this formulation has been specifically developed to address the distressing symptoms of acute rhinitis; not to treat the various underlying causes. Such causes generally include insecurity of the defensive Qi, deficiency of the Spleen Qi, retained Phlegm-Damp, retained fluids, Liver constraint and Kidney deficiency. Generally, these factors should be treated after the resolution of the acute symptoms. However, in severely depleted patients, support should be given to the health Qi (zheng qi), using formulas such as Yu Ping Feng San (Jade Screen Formula BP037) or Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang (Ginseng & Astragalus Combination BP005).
