Qualities
Glehnia is a very good moistening tonic. It clears the lungs and tonifies Yin. Glehnia is cold, sweet and affects the Lung and Stomach. It is the perfect herb to use when the Lungs are dry due to smoking, smoke, dry or dusty air, excessive talking or singing, etc. It can also be used to treat common dry chronic coughs, hoarseness, etc. If such a condition persists, see your doctor.

Glehnia helps replenish body fluids. It is a very useful herb during dry weather, as in desert conditions. It can also be used to replenish fluids during and after an illness or surgery. People who are chronically dehydrated will find this herb a lifesaver. It is a great component of a home-made sports drink. It is virtually identical to Adenophora except that Glehnia is more brittle.
