Chinese medicine doctors, acupuncturists, and consumers worldwide turn to Yu Ping Feng San as a traditional way to support the body’s natural defenses and maintain overall wellness. This formula is comprised of three time-honored herbs traditionally used in Chinese medicine to support the body’s natural defenses and overall wellness, including the trendy Astragalus Root, which is considered “the best immune tonic herb in stabilizing and strengthening the protective ‘Qi’ in your body” in original Chinese medicine texts. 

DAO Labs offers a convenient option for this incredible formula, making it more accessible, easy to incorporate into your wellness routine, and complementing the natural flavors with essences of ginger and pear for additional support for your body’s natural immune function.  We’ve lamented at length over how this formula has kept those of us in our office healthy, even when everyone around us is sick. We think this is a formula everyone should keep on hand, and here are five reasons we think you’ll agree!

5 reasons to always keep Yu Ping Feng San on hand:

When People Around You are Sick

Whether it’s kids or co-workers, no one likes hearing someone cough around them. Support your wellness with Yu Ping Feng San, a traditional herbal combination valued for its potential to help maintain well-being during seasonal changes and times of environmental stress.

One of our loyal customers shared:
'Kept us feeling well during Thanksgiving. We have family who visits the sick every year, and they often pass it around. This year, with Immunity Support, no one got sick, and the out-of-town guests recovered quickly!'

For daily wellness, consider taking 1-2 packets a day when you're around others who may be under the weather. Not sure if they’re contagious? Taking a sachet daily can be part of your routine to help support overall well-being.

At the First Sign Your Immune System Needs Support

You know that moment when you feel like you might be getting a cold?  You're a little extra tired, your throat starts to feel tight, your head feels a little stuffy, and things just feel off. This is the time you need to have Immunity Support in your medicine cabinet!  One customer writes:

“Never get a cold again.  I was always getting colds in every season until a friend recommended this product. Since taking I've hardly had a sniffle. I take it at least every other day, it's natural ingredients, and it tastes good. You'll be pleased with your purchase.”

Take 2-3 a day for a couple of days, and you’ll give your body the extra support it needs to stay balanced and resilient.

When Getting on a Plane or Traveling in General

Airplanes are germ factories.  When was the last time the seat was sanitized?  There are no cleaning requirements from the FAA, and airlines are focused on turning their planes around as quickly as possible - not to mention all of that recycled air and close quarters with 200 strangers. In fact, according to an article last fall in the Wall Street Journal*, "medical studies have shown that air travelers face higher rates of infection [than non-travelers]: one study claimed the higher risk of getting a cold at 20%". It only makes sense that people are desperate to protect themselves to stay healthy - but next time you think about reaching for that Vitamin C packet, think about these three natural, powerful herbs that people have been using for preventative health for hundreds of years.

Pollen Season / Ragweed Season

Our customers who face seasonal changes often turn to Immunity Support for help maintaining clear nasal passages and overall wellness. It’s a popular go-to for supporting a healthy response to environmental triggers. One customer writes:

"‘I’ve made Immunity Support a part of my routine this spring and have been very satisfied with how it helps maintain my wellness!’"

Our Co-Founder and CEO, John G. McGarvey, routinely turns to Immunity Support when pollen season starts to get the best of him.  In this article, he writes: “The herbs begin to work their magic in fewer than 20 minutes and simply make me feel good.”

Take 1-2 packets a day as a preventative, or as needed when you start to feel cloudy-headed.

Pets & Dust

Yu Ping Feng San, the foundation of our Immunity Support formula, has been the subject of published research exploring its traditional use in supporting respiratory health. Studies suggest it may help the body respond to seasonal challenges, and it has been generally well tolerated in research settings. One of our customers agrees, writing:

“Very pleased.  I noticed results after the first day of use. I was very congested and started clearing within a short period of time. Use it now before having to sit in large groups where germs linger.”

Traditional formulas like Yu Ping Feng San are extremely powerful, but in many cases, not very tasty.  They’re available in pills and granules, but granules tend to be more effective and work more quickly, which is appreciated when you’re looking for quick support during seasonal transitions.

Our granules have been thoughtfully enhanced with the natural essences of pear, ginger, rosemary, and honey. These ingredients provide a flavorful and soothing drink, offering a traditional way to support overall wellness. Pears are known for their antioxidant content and vitamin C, while ginger is valued for its role in promoting balance within the body. Honey complements ginger’s benefits and may support overall well-being, while rosemary is traditionally used for its antioxidant properties.
