Icheon Cold with Bopyego N.O

Herbal Treatment to Stop a Lingering Cough


Hello.

This is Seo Se-wook of Kyunghee Yakson Korean Medicine Clinic in Icheon.

In the consultation room I often meet patients like these.

They walk in wearing a mask,

and the moment they sit down they let out the cough they had been holding in.


They try to speak, but another cough comes,

and they cover their mouth with their hand, looking a little embarrassed.

"At first I just thought it was a cold."



"I got medicine from the clinic twice,

but the cough just wouldn't go away."



"During the day I can manage somehow,

but at night when I lie down the cough gets really bad."



"It's already been more than a month.

Is this even still a cold?"

I can tell they have been having a hard time.

You think the cold has fully healed,

but the cough alone lingers on for weeks

— in fact this is surprisingly common.

Today I would like to talk about a lingering cough after an Icheon cold,

and the herbal treatment with Bopyego N.O.

Many people think,

"If I just take cough medicine, it will get better,"

but a cough that lasts more than a month

may not be a simple leftover of a cold.

It can also mean that the bronchial mucosa is still damaged

and has not recovered.


[Today I will talk about three things.]

1. Why does a cough after a cold last so long?

2. How is Bopyego N.O different from ordinary cough medicine?

3. Who is this herbal treatment suitable for?

For those suffering from a lingering cough,

I hope this article will be of some help.


1. Why does a cough after a cold

last so long?

Even after the cold virus is gone,

there are largely two reasons the cough remains.

First, the bronchial mucosa is in a damaged state.

In the process of fighting the virus,

the inner lining of the bronchi becomes worn away or dry.

In this state,

it keeps reacting sensitively to external stimuli.

A cough triggered just by breathing in air,

a tickling feeling from a single sip of a cold drink

— this is exactly the reason why.


Second, the body's recovery cannot keep up.

When a great deal of stamina has been used up fighting the virus,

if the mucosa does not regenerate quickly,

the cough has no choice but to continue.

Even if you take medicine that suppresses the cough,

if the state of the mucosa stays the same, it is hard to heal.


2. How is Bopyego N.O different

from ordinary cough medicine?

Ordinary cough medicine works by suppressing

the cough reflex itself.

For the moment it feels as if the cough has eased,

but the state of the bronchial mucosa stays the same.

The reason the cough returns once you stop the medicine

is exactly this.

Bopyego N.O takes a different approach.

This herbal prescription works in three main directions.


First, it calms the inflammation of the bronchial mucosa.

Herbs such as Platycodon root (Gilgyeong), Isatis leaf (Daecheongyeop), Honeysuckle flower (Geumeunhwa) and Forsythia fruit (Yeongyo)

calm the heat and inflammation inside the bronchi.

Second, it replenishes the dried-out mucosa with moisture and nourishment.

Herbs such as Liriope tuber (Maekmundong), Adenophora root (Sasam), Schisandra berry (Omija) and Slippery elm bark (Yugeunpi)

gently wrap the parched bronchi in moisture.

Third, the nitric oxide component widens the blood vessels and the bronchi,

helping oxygen and nutrients reach deep into the lungs.

Rather than suppressing the symptoms,

the key is to create an environment

in which the bronchi can recover on their own.

For patients who see no improvement even after taking cough medicine for several weeks,

I often use this herbal treatment.

It tends to work especially well for those who, after a cold,

have a persistently scratchy throat,

recurring phlegm,

or a cough that gets worse when they lie down at night.


3. Who is this treatment

suitable for?

I recommend Bopyego N.O to patients like these.

  • Those whose cough after a cold lasts more than 2 weeks

-Those who took antibiotics or cough medicine but still can't get it under control -Those with a dry throat and a recurring dry cough -Those with yellow phlegm or postnasal drip running down the back of the throat -Those whose voice often gets hoarse because their job involves a lot of talking

Among the patients who come from near Changjeon-dong in Icheon,

there are more than you might expect who say they caught a cold from their young child and just can't shake it,

or who, like teachers or counselors, talk a great deal.

Because it is composed in a way that places little burden even with long-term use,

some take it steadily over several months,

and some take it once a day for preventive purposes

even when they have no symptoms.


Today I have summed up three things for you.


A lingering cough after a cold

occurs because the bronchial mucosa has not recovered.

Bopyego N.O is not about suppressing the cough,

but a herbal treatment that restores the very environment of the mucosa itself.


It is especially suited to those with a dry throat, recurring phlegm,

or those who have long suffered from a chronic cough.

If you have been struggling with a lingering cough after a cold in Icheon,

rather than pressing down the symptoms,

the start is to first look at the cause.
