I like Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa too. There are a few cough

syrups floating around out there. The other brand that I run into now and

then is called " Chuan Bei Pi Pa Gao " . That " Pi Pa Gao " is the same as " Pei

Pa Koa " and means " Loquat Syrup " . Different English transliteration methods.

 

Its somewhat sugery, though. Might be an issue for diabetics, but great for

the kids who have a dry sore throat or cough.

 

Pi Pa (Ye) is loquat leaf and a stop-coughing herb. Its also good for

rebellious Stomach qi resulting in nausea or hiccoughs. Cough is considered

rebellious qi in the Lungs. Rebellious means (in this context) going in the

opposite direction. Lung and Stomach qi both should descend, not ascend.

When Stomach qi rises, it causes nausea, vomiting, and hiccoughs. The

hiccoughs as rising Stomach qi isn't quite as self-evident, but you can

think of it at least as a sudden temporary interuption of the descending qi.

 

That " Chuan Bei " from the other cough syrup is " Chuan Bei Mu " or the

Frittilary bulb from Sichuan province. It is found in both syrups. It clears

heat from the Lungs (think of that as antibiotic or anti-viral), transforms

phelgm (makes phlegm go away), and nourishes yin in the Lungs (moisturizes

the Lungs). This makes it very effective for " dry phlegm " or phlegm that is

difficult to expectorate. It also is good for a dry cough in general since

it nourishes the yin (fluids) of the Lungs. The wikipedia entry for Nin Jiom

Pei Pa Koa <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nin_Jiom_Pei_Pa_Koa> says it has

the Chuan Bei Mu. It also suggests that " Nin Jiom " means " in memory of my

mother " . I'm not sure if the inventor was remembering his mother or if that

was an allusion to the other key ingredient in this formula which is Chuan

Bei Mu which translates to something like " Sichuan shell mother " .

Thanks for that Al!

In the past I used to have a cough for weeks on end, maybe 5-6 weeks

and always woke up at night, now after having taken this syrup, I feel

great after using if for about a week.

Will keep my eyes open for the other ones that you mentioned.

Hi Susi-

May I ask where you find this?

Is it available for purchase on the internet? If so what is a good

website.

Thank you.

You can get the cough syrup in the US here:

http://dragonherbs.com/prodinfo.asp?number=662

 

I should note that I do work at Dragon Herbs, but I do not get any

commission or have any other financial interest in where you might purchase

this formula.
