Log in to view price

Zhenatura Sha Shen Mai Dong Tang Extra Strong is a traditional Chinese herbal preparation formulated according to the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This classical combination features botanical ingredients including Glehnia littoralis root (Sha Shen), Ophiopogon japonicus root (Mai Dong), Polygonatum odoratum rhizome (Yu Zhu), and Mulberry leaf (Sang Ye). These ingredients are traditionally valued for their ability to nourish Yin, support the body’s natural internal moisture, and promote respiratory comfort. Glehnia (Sha Shen) and Ophiopogon (Mai Dong) are used in TCM to gently replenish body fluids and soothe internal dryness, while Polygonatum (Yu Zhu) and Mulberry leaf (Sang Ye) help maintain clear breathing and a balanced flow of energy in the stomach and lung meridians. Together, these herbs help support internal hydration, a soothing internal environment, and overall vitality.

This product is sold exclusively as a dietary supplement. It is not a medicine. Its use is based on traditional TCM applications.

Main benefits

  • Pattern Identification: Traditionally used for the TCM pattern of Lung and Stomach Yin deficiency, often following a febrile disease or exposure to Autumn Dryness, characterized by a dry hacking cough, dry mouth and throat, thirst, and little to no sputum.

  • Core Function: The formula is classically said to nourish Yin, clear Heat, generate fluids, and moisten the Lungs and Stomach.

  • Lung and Stomach Relationship: Based on the TCM principle that the Stomach is the primary source of fluids which ascend to moisten the Lungs, the formula targets the Stomach's ability to generate fluids to ensure the Lungs remain properly nourished and resistant to Dryness.

  • Key Ingredients: Bei Sha Shen and Mai Men Dong strongly nourish Lung and Stomach Yin and clear deficiency Heat; Yu Zhu and Gua Lou Gen generate body fluids and deeply moisten dry tissues; Sang Ye (Mulberry Leaf) lightly clears pathogenic Heat from the Lungs; Sheng Bian Dou (Hyacinth Bean) gently supports the Stomach and Spleen to prevent the heavy Yin-nourishing herbs from causing dampness or indigestion; Gan Cao (Licorice) harmonizes the formula, while Corn Starch serves as a modern excipient for pill/tablet binding.

  • Seasonal/Post-Viral Component (TCM): Often used in the aftermath of a severe cold, flu, or warm-febrile disease where lingering Heat has consumed the body's natural fluids, or during the dry autumn season when the respiratory tract becomes easily parched.

  • Region of Action: Primarily targets the upper and middle jiao—specifically the Lungs, respiratory tract, throat, and Stomach—areas most vulnerable to fluid depletion and structural dryness.

  • Classical Heritage: First recorded in the Qing-dynasty classic Wen Bing Tiao Bian (Systematic Differentiation of Warm Diseases) by Wu Ju-Tong, it is a foundational formula in the Warm Disease (Wen Bing) school for recovering Yin and fluids after a feverish illness.

Zhenatura Sha Shen Mai Dong Tang Extra Strong is based on the classical Sha Shen Mai Men Dong Tang (“Glehnia and Ophiopogon Decoction”), first recorded in the Qing-dynasty medical text Wen Bing Tiao Bian (“Systematic Differentiation of Warm Diseases”) by the renowned physician Wu Ju-Tong. Within traditional Chinese herbal literature, this specific combination of botanicals—including Glehnia Root, Ophiopogon Root, Solomon's Seal Rhizome, Mulberry Leaf, White Hyacinth Bean, Trichosanthes Root, and Licorice Root—was described as a method to “nourish Yin,” “moisten the Lungs,” and “generate fluids” in accordance with the TCM theoretical framework. These descriptions belong exclusively to the traditional conceptual system of Chinese medicine and do not refer to modern anatomy, psychology, or scientifically validated physiological effects.

1
Chronic Dry Cough and Post-Infectious Cough — Moistening the Airways
https://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/integrative-medicine/herbs/sha-shen-mai-men-dong-tang

Please note: This summary is a concise interpretation of the original article; please refer to the source for the full context and details.

The primary everyday application for Sha Shen Mai Dong Tang is the treatment of severe, lingering dry coughs—specifically those that persist for weeks after a viral or bacterial respiratory infection has cleared.

In these cases, the original pathogen is gone, but the physical lining of the throat and bronchial tubes has been scorched raw. Pharmacologically, the primary herbs (Sha Shen, Mai Dong, and Yu Zhu) are rich in polysaccharides and mucilage. These compounds physically coat, lubricate, and repair the inflamed respiratory mucosa. By generating fresh fluids and restoring the natural moisture barrier of the lungs, the formula effectively stops the mechanical "tickle" that triggers non-productive, hacking coughs, while alleviating the associated sore, dry throat.

Adjunctive Therapy for Lung and Esophageal Cancer — Restoring Yin
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11222568/

Please note: This summary is a concise interpretation of the original article; please refer to the source for the full context and details.

Sha Shen Mai Dong Tang is heavily utilized in integrative oncology, particularly for patients undergoing radiotherapy or chemotherapy for lung and esophageal cancers. (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8649093/)

Cancer treatments, especially radiation, cause profound cellular damage and extreme dehydration in the surrounding tissues (which TCM interprets as severe "Toxic Heat destroying Yin"). Patients frequently suffer from radiation pneumonitis, severe dry mouth (xerostomia), and difficulty swallowing. Clinical research demonstrates that this formula not only effectively treats these severe side effects by intensely hydrating and repairing the upper digestive and respiratory tracts, but its use as an adjunctive therapy is also associated with improved overall survival rates in certain cancer populations. Furthermore, pharmacological studies indicate that the Yin-nourishing properties of the formula can help inhibit the abnormal growth of specific esophageal cancer cells.

Atrophic Gastritis and Wasting-Thirst — Nourishing Stomach Yin
https://www.aompress.com/resources/pdfs/book-vet/Sample_06.pdf

Please note: This summary is a concise interpretation of the original article; please refer to the source for the full context and details.

Because it targets both the Lungs and the Stomach, the formula is highly effective for chronic digestive disorders characterized by "Stomach Yin Deficiency," such as chronic atrophic gastritis. (https://www.acupuncture.com/education/zf/spst.htm)

In atrophic gastritis, the glandular cells of the stomach lining shrink and stop producing sufficient gastric acid and protective mucus, leading to poor digestion, a burning sensation in the stomach, and a chronically dry mouth. The formula acts to physically regenerate the gastric mucosal lining. Mai Dong and Sha Shen stimulate the secretion of natural digestive fluids and reduce localized inflammation, significantly improving digestion and relieving the constant, unquenchable thirst associated with the condition (a state TCM refers to as "Wasting-Thirst").

For Sha Shen Mai Dong Tang, take 3 tablets 2 times per day. These should be taken before or after meal.
