Globe Amaranth Flower Classic Formulas

Primary Actions

Relieves cough and wheezing - Qian Ri Hong is used for persistent cough, asthma-style shortness of breath, and whooping-cough patterns in folk and textbook tradition.
Clears Liver heat and benefits the eyes - traditional use includes red swollen painful eyes, eye irritation, and headache associated with rising heat.
Resolves toxicity - the flower and whole herb may be used internally or externally for sores, furuncles, and hot inflammatory lesions.

Qian Ri Hong with Sang Bai Pi and Pi Pa Ye - common folk pairing for cough, wheezing, and hot phlegm irritation.
Qian Ri Hong with Ju Hua and Xia Ku Cao - eye-heat combination for red painful eyes with headache or dizziness.
Topical washes or fresh-pounded applications - traditional method for sores, furuncles, and inflamed skin lesions.

Traditional references describe Qian Ri Hong as sweet, slightly salty, and neutral, entering the Lung and Liver to stop cough, calm wheezing, clear Liver heat, and improve vision.
Its indications span whooping cough, chronic bronchitic cough, eye redness, headache, and toxic sores, though it is less famous than many standard textbook flower herbs.
Because it is relatively mild, it is often better as part of a formula than as a stand-alone solution for severe disease.
