A classic Chinese herbal formula for early-stage colds and flu, especially when you have a fever, sore throat, and headache. It was first recorded in 1798 during the Qing Dynasty and has been trusted for over 200 years.
Think of it as the go-to remedy for "wind-heat" colds — the kind that hits you with a fever, a burning throat, and a general feeling of heat.
For anyone dealing with wind-heat cold or flu symptoms:
-
Fever — you feel hot
-
Headache — throbbing or aching
-
Sore, painful throat — especially when swallowing
-
Cough — dry or with little phlegm
-
Dry mouth — feeling thirsty
-
Mild chills — slight aversion to wind or cold
Best time to take: At the very first sign of these symptoms for quickest results.
Traditional Chinese Medicine used to disperse winds to release the exterior, and clear toxic heat; used for common cold due to wind-heat with manifestation of fever, headache, coughing, dry mouth and sore throat.
