Catarrh Partly Due to the Lungs

Catarrh originates in the blood. When the lungs send up fever to the head, this fever condenses the moisture, which forms big -(41)chunks in the head. These chunks of thick mucus drop into the mouth and throat. For this reason, people look upon catarrh as having its seat in the head. Herbs for catarrh must be so compounded as to cleanse the blood, the lungs, and the head. Long suffering from catarrh abates one's energy, poisons the entire system, and causes ringing noises in the ears or even deafness. Many chronic sufferers from catarrh have been wonderfully relieved by the Fong Wan Herb Compound.
