Seasonal allergies, sinus congestion, itchy skin, or hives
Xanthium Relieve Surface
Supports Relief From
Xanthium Relieve Surface offers fast-acting support for allergy symptoms, sinus congestion, and hot-type skin flare-ups. It’s commonly used to relieve hay fever, runny nose, sinus pressure, and itchy rashes or hives. Many turn to this formula during allergy season or for sudden skin irritations caused by heat or allergic reactions.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, these symptoms are linked to wind-heat on the body’s surface and imbalances in the lung and defensive (wei) qi. This formula disperses surface-level wind and heat, opens the nasal passages, clears toxins, and supports the immune system’s ability to fend off allergens and irritants.
How It Works Holistically
From a western view, Xanthium Relieve Surface combines natural antihistamine-like herbs and decongestants to calm inflammation, ease breathing, and reduce allergic skin responses. Ingredients like xanthium and magnolia help open the sinuses and reduce pressure, while licorice and schisandra provide anti-inflammatory and adaptogenic support for the immune system.
TCM practitioners recognize this as a modification of Bi Yan Pian and Jade Screen Formula (Yu Ping Feng San). It clears wind-heat from the surface, strengthens defensive qi, and opens the lung channel. Schizonepeta, fang feng, and angelica expel wind, relieve itching, and direct the formula to the sinuses and skin. Astragalus and bai-zhu atractylodes help prevent recurring issues by tonifying spleen and lung qi.
When Xanthium Relieve Surface Is Right for You
Choose this formula when you're dealing with allergy-related sinus pressure, stuffy or itchy nose, or hot, red, or itchy rashes. It’s especially helpful for hives, poison oak, allergic rhinitis, or eczema that worsens with heat or exposure to allergens. Can also be used preventatively during allergy season or to address lingering sinus symptoms after a cold.
