Airway Immune
Function: : Immune modulation, particularly endogenous interferon enhancement, anti-inflammation and detoxification.
Indication: Maintenance of respiratory health by modulating immune function
Major ingredients: Astragalus, scutellaria (80% baicalin), licorice (26% glycyrrhizinate), coptis(60% berberine), perilla and perilla seed, orange peel hesperidin, magnolia(20%honokiol), ginger.
Comments: The development of vaccine and antiviral drugs is often slower than we need. In recent years, a new concept of " host immune defense" has been developed, that is, fighting the respiratory virus by activating our immune function. Among many possibilities, Interferon is one of the most important defense pathways to fight against influenza and other airway viruses. The clinical studies on severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) showed that the efficacy of interferon in treating viral infection is relatively positive, among which interferon IFN-α, IFN-β, IFN-γ have potential anti-SARS virus (SARS-CoV) effect. There is 86% similarity in genes between SARS and COVID-19. Currently COVID- 19 deaths mainly occur in people with weak immune function in middle-aged and elderly people, supporting the idea that immune strengthening is one of the important ways for virus prevention. However, the medical interferon is not only expensive, but could have also certain serious side effects. So, the major principle of Airway Immune is to promote the endogenous interferon production and function. The formulation is based on two thousand year history in traditional Chinese medicine and more than 60 years of modern scientific research as well as 40 years of life in medical field from Dr. Jing Liu. Here is the introduction of the major ingredients in Airway Immunity:
​
Astragalus is an internationally well known herb. The polysaccharides and saponins contained in astragalus facilitate lactobacillus to produce interferon-β. In certain conditions, excessive immune stimulation may aggravate the inflammation, but astragalus has anti-inflammatory effects while significantly boosting IFN-β. This is why astragalus can be used in either people with weak immune or autoimmune reactions like COVID pneumonia.
licorice extract Gycyrrhizinate or glycyrrhizic acid can promote T cell production of interferon. The study from Dr. Cinatl and Dr. HOEVER G showed that glycyrrhizic acid has anti- SARS-CoV effects, even stronger than the classical anti-virus drugs ribavirin, 6-azauridine, pyrazofurin and mycophenolic acid on the lab tests(2003-2004). The results has been further approved by several exciting research reports that glycyrrhizic acid may possess certain therapeutic potential for the treatment of COVID-19 from the perspective of its pharmacological action, including binding angiotensin-converting enzyme II (ACE2), down regulating proinflammatory cytokines, inhibiting the accumulation of intracellular reactive oxygen species[ Int J Antimicrob Agents. 2020 Apr 24].
Licorice also contains thymol and carvacrol, the same ingredients as Oregano oil, which have significant antiviral and anti-bactericidal effects.
​
Notice: It is well known that licorice can promote adrenal function, but it could hold salt in the body and raise blood pressure occasionally for some people with high blood pressure. So, the blood pressure needs to be monitored and low salt diet is necessary while taking licorice. A half dose need to be considered in some cases.
Orange peel extract is selected. The recent study suggests that flavanoid enriched orange peel contains hesperidin, which shows the strongest capacity in stopping SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein binding with the cell receptors, compared with other 4 thousands of the drugs and herbs in a computerized analysis study. Traditionally, Orange peel is a good herb for phlegm cleansing and digestion.
​
Scutellaria baicalin. This herb has been heavily used in China in fighting with COVID infection. It is an important herb in tradition for inflammation and detoxification of lung. Not only it can promote interferon production, but also this herb is discovered to act as a “shield in front of the catalytic dyad to prevent the peptide substrate approaching the active site of COVID-19 in vitro"(2020). The research report commented that the herb may have great potential for the development of anti-coronaviral drug, considering baicalin is quite safe from clinical trials. In fact, bacailin has been the key ingredient of our products Flueez and Flueese Nasal for 20 years. Plus, Scutellaria is one of very a few herbs which inhabit Th17, a key target linking inflammation and autoimmune reaction together. It is recognized that COVID pneumonia accompany with serious autoimmune reaction, which cause deadly respiratory function failure.
Coptis: From Dr. Jing Liu's research at MGH, which was published on BBRC in 2005, coptis and its major ingredient berberine can promote interferon production. Berberine has been viewed as a rising star as the results of hundreds of studies from the world. The herb has wide range of pharmacological functions, from antivirus, antibacterial, immune T cell promotion, anti inflammation to blood sugar and obesity management, as well as sedative effect, etc.
​
Perilla and perilla seed The whole herb contains over 400 chemical ingredients, including over 60% of omega-3 in the seeds. Its bioactivity in vitro and in vivo studies have been revealed potential health benefits, such as inhibition of bacteria and virus infection, allergy, inflammation, and depression. The herb is traditionally in Chinese medicine for chest congestion, asthma, phlegm clearing and indigestion.
​
Magnolia The extract of the bark of Magnolia trees has been used for some 1,000 years in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine for treatment of chest /phlegm congestion, asthma, depression, muscle tension as well as bowel movement promotion, which is important for lung detoxification from the view of Chinese medicine. Native American used the herb as an antimalarial agent. The most comprehensive database of magnolia ingredients to date have been established. Two of the main compounds are magnolol and honokiol. Their anti-inflammatory and antivirus functions have been under studied.
Flueese Nasal
Please read recent publish on Nature Medicine, the top medical journal in the world, "SARS-CoV-2 entry factors are highly expressed in nasal epithelial cells together with innate immune genes".
The conclusion of the article strongly support that what Dr. Liu's efforts on developing herbal nasal spray in the past 20 years is on the right pathway to fight with the respiratory virus.
Major ingredients: oregano oil, with 86% of carvacrol, scutellaria baicalin, peppermint oil
Nasal passage often is the first line of our defense against respiratory viruses. So, Flueese Nasal in spray form has been developed since 1997 by Dr. Jing Liu for boosting the immune function and anti-inflammation in the nose, to fight with the virus before it can enter the lung. The nostril contains the richest of blood circulation. It is estimated that the chemical or drug absorption in nasal is more than 10 times than that from the digestive system. This is why the dose of the herbs in nasal spray is only 3% to 5% of that in oral administration. Flueese Nasal may also help release the headache and nasal congestions.
Direction: spray the herb liquid into each nasal, one or two times daily

Comments: Flu or other respiratory virus infection treatment should be based on a complex concept of Immune modulation, anti-inflammation, allergy reduction and detoxification of respiratory system, rather than only focusing on combating the virus. The vaccine development is often slower than the virus strain mutation. Flueez has been used for over 20 years in our clinic. The formula was tested by the pharmacology studies, including in vitro flu virus (Type A and B)and in vivo virus pneumonia model, anti-inflammation test, as well as safety and toxicity tests.
​
Six herb extracts in Flueez formula showed functions of interferon enhancement from the studies. Interferon is the important part of immune system and is the first line of the immune defense. Furthermore, oregano oil, scutellaria baicalin, licorice glycyrrhizinate and orange peel extracts all demonstrated potential anti-Coronavirus functions in the lab studies.
