DEFENSE HERBS is a combination of two classical formulas: Gui Zhi Tang and Yu Ping Feng San. Gui Zhi Tang (a decoction of Cinnamon twigs) is the primary formula in one of the most influential works in the history of Chinese medicine, the Treatise on Febrile Diseases. Gui Zhi Tang expels viruses, bacteria and other exogenous pathogenic factors from the interior of the body and strengthens the body’s defensive and regenerative systems. Tests have proven that it significantly inhibits or possibly kills influenza A, strains 15EID50 and 30EID50 in chicken embryos. The Yu Ping Feng San (Jade-Screen Powder) formula has been used for over 500 years. It replenishes vital energy, supports the superficial resistance of the body and inhibits excessive perspiration caused by vital energy deficiency, thus increasing resistance to infection by viruses, bacteria, yeast and other microorganisms. Clinical research has shown that Jade Wind Screen formula significantly improves immune function, and increases serum IgG and IgA and lymphocyte transformation rate, as well as nasal mucous IgA. Numerous clinical reports have proven Jade Wind Screen’s effectiveness in preventing influenza and the common cold. It is also highly effective for excessive sweating, chronic urticaria, erythema multiform and sinus allergy. ACTIONS: Harmonizes Ying and Wei and strengthens the defensive Qi. RECOMMENDATIONS: Low immunity, susceptibility to viral and bacterial infection, allergy to airborne matter, excessive sweating, body aches, Candida due to Defensive Qi deficiency, and disharmony between the body’s constructive and defensive systems. SUGGESTED USE: Take 2 or 3 capsules with water three times daily as a dietary supplement. For impaired immunity or for flu and cold prophylaxis, take the daily dose listed above for 8 to 12 weeks.
