History
Weinsch Throat Clear Onset is based on the herbal formula Yin Qiao San (Honeysuckle and Forsythia Powder). It was first recorded in the Qing Dynasty medical text Wen Bing Tiao Bian (“Systematic Differentiation of Warm Diseases”) by Wu Ju-Tong in 1798. It was developed as part of the “Warm Disease School” (Wen Bing), which focused on febrile illnesses caused by external Wind-Heat rather than Cold. This formula was specifically designed to treat the early stages of externally contracted febrile diseases, especially those beginning with fever, sore throat, and dryness. Today, it is one of the most widely used TCM formulas for the onset of cold and flu symptoms, particularly those with heat signs affecting the throat and upper respiratory system.
Information for professionals
Weinsch Throat Clear Onset is designed to treat Wind-Heat invasions in the very early stage of febrile illness, when symptoms such as sore throat, slight fever, and headache first appear. The formula clears external heat, vents pathogens through the exterior, and protects the Lung and Wei Qi from deeper invasion. It is especially suited for treating acute viral conditions such as colds, flu, and upper respiratory tract infections. Yin Qiao San is most effective when used within the first 24–48 hours of symptom onset. Key herbs like Jin Yin Hua (honeysuckle) and Lian Qiao (forsythia) release exterior Wind-Heat and have strong anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. The formula also includes herbs to ease throat pain, reduce fever, and protect Lung function.
