Conco is a herbal concentrate designed to support and balance the respiratory system using the "metal" element herbs from traditional Chinese philosophy. According to ancient Chinese medicine, the universe is composed of five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, which correspond to the body's five main systems. Maintaining balance among these elements is crucial for overall health.
Conco uses a combination of warming (cleansing, yang energy) and cooling (nourishing, yin energy) herbs to help the body achieve balance. This is particularly important as the Chinese philosophy holds that life force, or qi, is partially brought into the body through our breath. Anything that impedes proper breathing also obstructs the flow of life force, which in Western medicine translates to oxygen supply.
In addition to nourishing the respiratory system, Conco works well in conjunction with herbs that strengthen the immune and hormonal systems (such as Alpha 20C and Prime Again). It can assist the body in overcoming respiratory illnesses, colds, and flu, reduce headaches including migraines, provide protection against infections, soothe the stomach and reduce nausea, and alleviate allergic symptoms.
The Sunrider philosophy, based on the theory of the five elements, is rooted in ancient Chinese thinking. According to this philosophy, the functioning of the human body, the maintenance of health, and a harmonious relationship with nature are based on the balance of the five elements – wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. This principle is reflected in Sunrider's products, which emphasize natural ingredients and a holistic approach.
