Respiratory System

The Respiratory System

The respiratory system is made up of the lungs, trachea, throat, mouth and sinuses. Its prime function is to supply oxygen to the blood. It also functions to trap and expel airborne toxins. Imbalances of the respiratory system often
affect the immune, circulatory and nervous systems.

CCA Nutritionally supports the immune and respiratory systems during times of stress and upset.

Echinacea Classification: Mucilaginous herb
Echinacea purpurea is the Latin name for a herb native to the central and southwestern U.S.A. The plant, which also goes by the name purple cone flower,
bears beautiful purple flowers resembling black-eyed susans. Although it prefers to
grow in open fields and rocky soil, it has become a favorite with urban gardeners
too. Echinacea was widely used by the Plains Indians who valued it in much the
same fashion the Chinese value ginseng. American settlers quickly adopted its use,
and the herb has been valued by natural health care advocates ever since. German
research has demonstrated the herb’s ability to increase the number of white blood
cells (a vital part of the immune system’s defense against invaders). Today echinacea is the most popular selling herb for the prevention of colds and sickness. It is high in organic aluminum, cobalt, zinc, chromium, iron, manganese, niacin, riboflavin, selenium and vitamin C.

Fenugreek
and Thyme Fenugreek and Thyme is a popular combination for nutritionally supporting the
respiratory system. This combination is a natural source of iron, magnesium, silicon, sodium and thiamine. Fenugreek is also an excellent herbal source of selenium, an antioxidant that helps the body utilize oxygen. Fenugreek seeds contain mucilaginous compounds—gel-like substances known for their ability to soothe inflamed tissues.

Formula S.E.
(SnorEase) Formula S.E. is a unique combination of enzymes, herbs and nutrients which ease
many of the symptoms of sleep apnea due to snoring.
CoQ10 is a powerful protector nutrient that increases circulation to enhance the
supply of oxygen during sleep and acts as a general anti-histamine. The peel of an
immature orange (fructus aurantia immaturi) is high in vitamin C and bioflavonoids. It
helps break up mucus and clear it from breathing passages. A final ingredient, the
food enzyme, bromelain, also helps to break up mucus and reduce inflammation for
easier breathing.

Formula Chi
with Ephedra This is an effective combination for the relief of sinus congestion due to colds and
hayfever. Because it contains the Chinese herb ephedra (ma huang), it requires a
Drug Identification Number (DIN). This specifically limits its use and promotion to
that of a decongestant, and not thermogenic weight-management supplement as it
has been marketed in the past.

LH-C Constitution: Supports Metal
Tonic formula used in chronic weaknesses of the respiratory system.
Ingredients: astragalus root, aster root, Qin Jiao root, inula flower, anemarrhena
rhizome, bupleurum root, Panax ginseng root, lycium fruit, ophiopogon root, dang gui root, atractylodes rhizome, blue citrus peel, citrus peel, pinellia rhizome, schizandra fruit and licoriceroot.

Marshmallow Classification: Mucilaginous herb
Marshmallow in a herbal form might sound unusual to someone unfamiliar with
herbology, but long before the white squishy balls were sitting on supermarket
shelves, the plant was growing in marshes. The plant is a member of the Mallow
family, which prefers to live in wet places like marshes, hence the name. It grows
widely around the world, and is found in the western U.S.A. The modern confection
has none of the plant in it, but in times past, the boiled roots were used to make
marshmallows. Served as a vegetable, the plant was considered a delicacy among
the Romans. In France, the young tops and leaves are eaten uncooked in salads. Its
high mucilage content makes it an appropriate supplement for the respiratory system
where it soothes irritated mucous membranes.

SN-X SN-X is an effective expectorant and decongestant formula. This combination is a
natural source of magnesium, potassium, silicon and zinc. It is also a source of
vitamins A, C and thiamin.
Ingredients: fructus aurantia immaturi, burdock root, parsley leaves, horehound herb, Siberian ginseng root, marshmallow root, golden seal root, capsicum fruit, yerba santa leaves.
