　　Tongbai County in Nanyang is a traditional production area for platycodon and is reputed as the “Hometown of Platycodon.” The exterior of Tung platycodon is white, with a distinct chrysanthemum-like core, large in size and firm in texture, making it a top-grade product. Its characteristics closely resemble those of ginseng, earning it the nickname “Tung Ginseng.” According to tests by the Nanyang Institute for Drug Control, the total saponin content in Tongbai platycodon reaches 10%, meeting the standards of the Pharmacopoeia. Tung platycodon features a unique chrysanthemum-like core and, when used medicinally, can help expel phlegm, discharge pus, ward off dampness and plagues, treat internal leakage, and soothe sore throats. Originally wild, it can now be cultivated artificially. In April 2006, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of China approved the implementation of geographical indication product protection for Tung platycodon.

　　Tung Platycodon Tea originates from the Han Dynasty’s Zhongjing prescription “Platycodon Decoction,” also known as the “Six-Ingredient Lung-Clearing Powder.” It uses Tung platycodon as the principal ingredient, supported by honeysuckle, wild chrysanthemum, and assisted by monk fruit, dandelion, and lotus leaf, with licorice harmonizing the various herbs. Through high-tech purification and refinement, it is produced. Expert evaluations confirm that Tung platycodon granules have a purifying yet regulating effect, nourishing while cleansing, clearing lung waste, improving the lungs’ oxygen absorption rate, enhancing oxygen supply to the brain and blood, and improving sleep quality. In today’s environment with severe air pollution, Tung platycodon health tea is an ideal beverage for clearing lung dust, soothing the throat and detoxifying, providing anti-oxidation, boosting immunity, beautifying the skin, and delaying aging. It fills a domestic gap in respiratory health beverages and has been granted a national invention patent. It is hailed by industry experts and high-end consumers as the “Angel of Respiratory Health, Guardian of Respiratory Wellness, PM2.5 Nemesis, and Human Respiratory Purifier.”

　　Usage and Dosage of Tung Platycodon Tea:

　　Just one 1.5-gram tea bag per pot is sufficient. It can be steeped multiple times within a day, and one 1.5-gram bag is enough for a family of three to enjoy multiple servings daily. Drinking it three times a week yields the best results. Tung platycodon is often praised as “Tung Ginseng” or “Little Ginseng” due to its strong yang-nourishing effects similar to other types of ginseng. Drinking it too frequently or in excessive amounts may exceed the body’s absorption capacity and could lead to reactions such as general body heat or nosebleeds.
