Respiratory Care Tincture
This is an alcohol-based liquid extract (tincture) of three roots extracted together in equal parts: the sweet root of the liquorice legume, the pungent ginger rhizome and the steamed root of Asian ginseng. Each is also sold on its own. It is a traditional herbal product, not for emergencies and not a replacement for any prescribed inhaler or medication - please read the safety information below before use.
- Liquorice, root - Glycyrrhiza glabra root (Fabaceae)
- Ginger, root - Zingiber officinale rhizome (Zingiberaceae)
- Red ginseng, root - Panax ginseng steamed root (Araliaceae)
- Extract type: Alcohol tincture. Other ingredients: organic alcohol, vegetable glycerin, crystal clear purified water
- Origin: Responsibly sourced cultivated botanicals. Gluten free. Made in the USA.
What is in the blend
- Liquorice root - the long, woody root of a Mediterranean and West Asian legume, intensely sweet from glycyrrhizin. It is the real liquorice; many licorice candies contain none of it and are flavored with anise instead.
- Ginger root - the knobbly rhizome of a tropical plant of the ginger family, the same spice used fresh and dried in kitchens worldwide, pungent and warming.
- Red ginseng - the root of Asian ginseng, Panax ginseng, steamed and dried by the traditional Korean method that turns it reddish-brown. It is a different species from American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) of the eastern North American forests.
Why a tincture
The three dried roots are macerated together in organic alcohol with a little vegetable glycerin and water - the classic herbal method. A tincture keeps for years at room temperature in a cool, dark place, has a sweet, warming taste from liquorice and ginger, and a few drops disappear in a glass of water or juice. A serving of 20 to 30 drops is roughly 1 ml of liquid, so the amount of alcohol per serving is small.
How to use
Shake well before use. Put the number of drops shown on the label into a little water or juice and drink it, up to the frequency shown on the label. Do not exceed the label serving. Because of the liquorice, do not use this blend for more than four weeks at a time without talking to your practitioner, and take it earlier in the day because red ginseng can be stimulating. Store in a cool, dark place with the cap tight.
Tincture or drops?
If you avoid alcohol or prefer a milder taste, the same three-herb blend is available as Respiratory Care Alcohol-Free Drops - the glycerite version. The herbs and proportions are identical; only the extraction liquid differs.

Very Satisfied
I have bought this product a couple of times. I has a pleasant taste so I have used it right out of the dropper, not floated into a tea. This is the 1st Tian Men Dong I have tried so I have nothing to compare it with, but it seems to be a good product to me.
Arrived on time and in good condition, love this extract! It helps with lymphatic flow.
My only complaint is that the seal is so difficult to remove.
Great product for a great price!
I have bought several supplements from this company and I am satisfied with them all
Everything was great, thanks!
It seems to have a high sugar content but works well
as described, fast delivery
I've been taking this for a month and can tell a difference
