CCF (Chuan Xin Lian Plus), 2oz

CCF (Chuan Xin Lian Plus) by Benedictine Herbs is a potent, detoxifying herbal formula rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles, designed to clear Heat and resolve toxicity throughout the body. Best known for its ability to eliminate internal toxins, this broad-spectrum formula is ideal for patterns involving Heat or Damp-Heat—particularly when symptoms affect the throat, head, or gastrointestinal system.

At the core of this blend is Chuan Xin Lian (Andrographis), a renowned herb for its powerful Heat-clearing and toxin-resolving properties. It is paired with Ban Lan Gen and Da Qing Ye (Isatis root and leaf), and Pu Gong Ying (Dandelion), all of which are traditionally used to disperse toxic-Heat and soothe inflamed tissues.

Supporting these bitter-cold herbs are Wu Zhu Yu (Evodia), Chen Pi (Tangerine Peel), and warming aromatic spices like cardamom, coriander, and allspice. These ingredients help protect the Spleen and Stomach from cold stagnation and allow for longer or more comfortable use—even in those with weaker digestive constitutions. Elderberry and elder flower offer added immune support, making this formula especially useful during seasonal or immune-related flare-ups.

CCF is well-suited for acute or lingering patterns where Heat and Dampness obstruct the upper and middle burners, presenting with sore throat, head congestion, red/swollen tonsils, loose or burning stools, and general toxicity signs. This balanced approach makes it useful for a wide range of constitutional types under practitioner guidance.
