Qiang Li Yin Qiao Jie Du Wan - Cold and Flu Herbal Formula

Uses: Cold and Flu Treatment and Prevention.  In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), our body is vulnerable to attacks of pathogenic influences. The attacks first invade the peripheral and the body reacts with symptoms like fever, cough, and headache. If not halted they further invade the interior of the body and causes severe conditions. The pathogenic influences in modern medical terms belong to bacteria and viruses (e. g., cold viruses and flu viruses).

This formula works to halt the invasion of pathogenic influences and relieves the associated symptoms. It is mainly used for the common cold and flu (influenza). It is most effective when taken at the first signs of cold or flu such as sore throat, runny nose, cough, nasal congestion, and headache.

Modern studies suggested a pharmacological action of this formula that is consistent with its use for cold and flu relief. For example, it inhibits the growth of many strains of bacteria and viruses including influenza A virus; it reduces fever in animal models; it inhibits inflammation.

This formula relieves the exterior symptoms and clears away toxins. The symptoms may include wind-heat type common cold, fever with headache, cough with dry mouth and sore throat.

This formula is also used to prevent cold and flu. In a clinical study involving 1480 people, only 2.6% of people who took Yin Qiao Jie Du Wan for 6 weeks developed flu whereas 17.55% people in the control group developed flu.*
