Allergy Research Group PhytoCort®
Herbal Support for Respiratory Health
For thousands of years, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has utilized herbs to address conditions involving the lungs and the vascular system. Recently, researchers demonstrated the efficacy of a combination of three traditional Chinese herbs in supporting a healthy respiratory system, using a simplified version of a traditional Chinese herbal combination of 14 herbs. Overall, the herbal formula compared favorably to other standard treatments without the side effects.
PhytoCort® was formulated according to a landmark 2005 study published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. In addition to Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), Shrubby Sophora (Sophora flavescens), and Chinese Licorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis), it is enhanced with the addition of Noni (Morinda citrifolia).

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), a shelf fungus, has been known in China as Ling zhi (literally, herb of spiritual potency), prized for its beneficial effects on the heart and lungs and for its value as a tonic. Shrubby Sophora (Sophora flavescens) (Ku Shen), also from Asia, is an important herb in TCM, where it is used to support the health of the skin and hair, the urinary tract, and gastrointestinal tract. Chinese Licorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis), also known as Gan Cao, is considered one of the 50 fundamental herbs in traditional Chinese medicine. It is utilized in most Chinese herbal formulations because it helps to harmonize the activities of the other herbal components.
