What Is It?
Mai Men Dong Tang is a traditional Chinese herbal formula used to nourish Lung and Stomach Yin while supporting healthy moisture levels in the respiratory and digestive systems.

Herbal Ingredients
Traditional ingredients commonly include:
Mai Men Dong (Ophiopogon Root) – Nourishes Lung and Stomach Yin and moistens dryness
Ban Xia (Prepared Pinellia Rhizome) – Redirects rebellious Qi and relieves cough
Ren Shen (Ginseng Root) – Supports Qi and digestive strength
Gan Cao (Licorice Root) – Harmonizes and soothes the throat

How It Works (Traditional Perspective)
In TCM, chronic dryness can deplete Lung and Stomach Yin, leading to irritation, dry cough, and throat discomfort. Mai Men Dong Tang nourishes Yin, restores fluids, and directs Qi downward to calm cough and soothe irritation.
By replenishing moisture and supporting digestive function, it promotes comfort in both the respiratory and upper digestive systems.
