Cang Er San (Xanthium Powder) is a classical TCM formula drawn from the Ji Sheng Fang (Formulas to Aid the Living). It is the foundational formula in the category of prescriptions that open the nasal passages and disperse wind. The chief herb, Cang Er Zi (xanthium fruit), opens the nose and dispels wind; Xin Yi Hua (magnolia flower) assists in opening the nasal orifice; Bo He and Bai Zhi further disperse wind and alleviate head and sinus pain. Available from TCM Zone in a convenient 100-capsule concentrated format.

TCM actions include:

  • Disperses wind
  • Alleviates pain
  • Unblocks the nose

Recommended for use under the guidance of a licensed TCM practitioner.
