Formula

Astra C combines Eastern and Western therapies to prevent the common cold. Vitamin C and zinc citrate have been added to the traditional formula, Jade screen powder, used to enhance the body’s protective power, or wei qi. Vitamin C has been used for two decades as a supplement to prevent viral infections. Zinc in citrate form is an easily absorbable form. Astragalus (huang qi) tonifies Qi, stops perspiration, and spontaneous sweating. White atractylodes (bai zhu) tonifies Qi, dispels dampness, stops sweating, and strengthens resistance. Siler (fang feng) dispels wind, cold, and dampness.

Clinical Notes

1.For allergic rhinitis use Xanthium Relieve Surface (2 to 3 tabs) plus Astra C (1 to 2 tabs). Results are usually seen in a few days

2.Astra C is an excellent formula to protect the body against illness (wind invasion) and should be considered long term for those who have chronic bronchitis, asthma, and allergic rhinitis

3.This formula is used in China as an internal formula to treat 1st to 3rd degree burns. The herbs relieve the surface, regenerate damaged skin, and protect against infection. Astra C is particularly soothing in cases of sunburn

4.Clinical research in China has shown this to be effective in preventing recurring respiratory infections in children. The formula raises the mean value of serum IGA, the main antibody protecting the mucous membrane of the lungs
