A.I.R. 停止咳嗽免疫支持湯(集)

A.I.R.™ was designed at the request of a Holistic Pediatrician who needed something her young patients would actually take. The brief was specific: a formula that could stop coughs and clear infections in children — and that tasted good enough that parents wouldn’t have to fight to get it down. The result, refined over twenty-seven years of clinical use, is one of Si Jin Bao’s flagship formulas and one of the brand’s longest-running clinical successes.

The formula was built around a classical Chinese architecture for respiratory work: opening the nose, resolving and transforming phlegm, allowing the lungs to grasp the Qi, and nourishing the foundational Yin and Yang that protective immunity rests on. Where conventional pediatric cough formulas suppress symptoms, A.I.R. addresses the underlying TCM patterns that produce them — supporting natural resolution of infection rather than masking it.

The formula is alcohol-free, vegan, kid-friendly, and tastes good enough to take on its own. That last point matters more than it sounds: clinicians know that a formula a child won’t swallow doesn’t work. Over 750,000 doses have been delivered through Si Jin Bao’s professional channel since the formula entered service, and it remains one of the most-requested products in the catalog — particularly during cold and allergy seasons.

The TCM pattern A.I.R.™ addresses is Wind-Phlegm obstructing the Lungs and nasal passages with underlying Lung-Qi disharmony — the pattern that manifests clinically as the wide range of upper-respiratory presentations that come through pediatric and family practice clinics. Wind invades from the exterior, Phlegm accumulates in the Lungs, the Qi stops descending properly, and what should be a self-resolving exterior pattern lingers and migrates. The formula’s breadth comes from addressing all four components simultaneously rather than narrowly targeting one symptom.

A.I.R.™ works through three integrated layers, each addressing one component of the Wind-Phlegm-Qi pattern.

The nose-opening trio — Xin Yi Hua (Magnolia Flower), Cang Er Zi (Xanthium Fruit), and Bai Zhi (Dahurian Angelica) — is the classical Chinese formula architecture for opening the nose and clearing the sinuses. Xin Yi Hua and Cang Er Zi are the foundational pair for nasal congestion and sinus pressure of all kinds; Bai Zhi adds an acrid-warming action that drains pus and addresses sinus infection specifically. This trio is the formula’s most immediately recognizable signature and is what produces the rapid relief from nasal congestion that practitioners report.

The phlegm-resolving and Lung-Qi-rectifying core — Jie Geng (Platycodon), Hou Po (Magnolia Bark), Che Qian Zi (Plantago Seed), and Sheng Jiang (Fresh Ginger) — addresses the Phlegm dimension. Jie Geng is the classical “guide herb” that floats other actives upward to the Lungs and chest while opening the throat and resolving Phlegm. Hou Po descends Lung-Qi and transforms thick Phlegm. Che Qian Zi drains Damp downward through the lower burner. Sheng Jiang warms the middle, transforms Phlegm-Cold, and harmonizes the formula’s overall action.

The tonifying anchor — Bu Gu Zhi (Psoralea) and Bei Sha Shen (Glehnia Root) — addresses the underlying constitutional component. Bu Gu Zhi tonifies Kidney Yang and supports the Lungs’ ability to grasp the Qi, addressing the deeper deficiency that allows recurrent respiratory patterns to develop in the first place. Bei Sha Shen nourishes Lung Yin and generates fluids, balancing the warming and Phlegm-resolving herbs and ensuring the formula doesn’t dry out the airways during sustained use.

The result is a single formula that addresses acute presentation (open the nose), the active disease process (resolve phlegm, descend Lung-Qi), and the underlying constitutional vulnerability (tonify Yin and Yang) — in a single concentrated decoction.
