Natural Support for Immune System
In times of changing seasons, a well-functioning immune system is essential. In traditional Chinese medicine, we speak of “Wei Qi,” or the protective energy that surrounds us like a shield.Yu Ping Feng Sanis the formula to strengthen this shield. The name literally means “Jade Windshield Powder.”
Why Jade?
In China, jade is a precious and strong stone. The name suggests that this formula forms a precious and impenetrable shield against external influences such as cold, wind, and drafts.
The Three Protectors
The formula is elegant in its simplicity and consists of only three herbs:
Huang Qi (Astragalus):The main building block. This herb is known for strengthening surface energy and helping to close the skin barrier.
Bai Zhu (Atractylodes):Supports the spleen (digestive system). In TCM, energy comes from food; strong digestion provides sufficient fuel for the immune system.
Fang Feng (Siler):The name means “Protects from Wind.” It helps the body keep external influences at bay.
Application
Yu Ping Feng Sanisn’t a formula to use when you’re already feeling unwell, but rather beforehand. It’s a preventative formula that helps maintain strong resistance, ideal for people sensitive to drafts or temperature changes.
