Clinical (TCM) Notes: Jiao Gu Lan tonifies Heart, Kidney, and Lung qi; it regulates yin and yang (this function alludes to its “adaptogenic” effects); it also invigorates blood, clears phlegm and relieves cough, and calms shen. Use as a qi tonic in a variety of situations, especially recovery from weak states.
Discontinue use during colds and flu as it will drive pernicious influences deeper down in the body; additionally, as this herb is a blood invigorator, do not use with blood thinners such as Coumadin.
