Is ASHMI available yet for purchase? Can it be used for children?
@ Rachelle ==>
ASHMI is still not available. It’s still under patent review(Please see my November 29, 2009 comment below for an important update). My wife & I have been getting by with a homemade version which we put together from the 3 ingredients: Lingzhi Mushroom, Licorice Root and Sophora Root, which are readily available in supplement form.As far as your question concerning its safe use by children – I am not a doctor, so I am not privy to the more in-depth research that they have access to, but I have not read any information that any of the ingredients found in ASHMI are harmful to children in any way. In fact, quite the contrary.
But, as I said, I am not a doctor, so I recommend asking your doctor about it before giving it to your kids.
The following 2 articles describe ASHMI in greater detail and may be of some help:
Clear Breathing with Chinese Herbs
Ashmi Asthma Treatment
Sorry I couldn’t be of much more help. Thanks for stopping by.
@ Rachelle ==> Yes, ASHMI can be purchased, although the formulation is not called ASHMI (please read my article titled “Clear Breathing with Chinese Herbs” for more details). I found a product called PhytoCort, manufactured by a company called Allergy Research Group and marketed under the name Nutricology.
Phytocort is formulated with the original herbs found in ASHMI which are lingzhi mushroom (reishi mushroom), licorice root (gancao) and sophora root (kushen), plus a fourth ingredient called noni.
Please go to the “Buy ASHMI (PhytoCort)” section of my article titled “Clear Breathing with Chinese Herbs” for a list of some online sources of PhytoCort.
My wife and I have stopped taking our “home made” ASHMI and have begun taking “PhytoCort.” We purchase it from herbspro.com because of their prices, but there are many places that sell it, including ebay & amazon.
This formula AArelief contains all the Active ingredients found in the ASHMI formula.
This formula is safe for kids; medical studies have been done on pediatric allergy patients.
AArelief is the same formula cited in the studies.
@ Neil ==> Haven’t heard of it. A quick google search provided links to “shady” looking and amateurish web sites. Who manufactures it and where can we get more third party information on it?
