Flu season typically reaches its peak in February, and the NY Times reported yesterday that things could get ugly - are you prepared? At DAO Labs, We support our immune health with a classic Chinese herbal formula that’s been around for hundreds of years, with recent research shedding light on how it works. We support our immune health during the winter months with an ancient formula called Yu Ping Feng San (or as it’s translated, “Jade Windscreen”).
How Much is it Worth to You to Not Get Sick?
Getting sick is never fun, but thinking you’re going to get sick can be worse. As we’ve talked about in previous articles, Jade Windscreen has been such an incredible endorsement of the power of Chinese medicine and herbs. It helps us maintain our energy and focus, even during busy times of year, allowing us to focus on building our company and performing with equal passion and energy when we’re away from work. When people around us start complaining about sore throats, sick kids and high fevers, we hit the Chinese herbs and keep cranking with life.
There are countless personal stories of how people have used Jade Windscreen to support their well-being during seasonal transitions. From our community engagement manager, who maintained her energy and wellness even while caring for others at home, to Dr. Eric Karchmer, a doctor of Chinese medicine with nearly 20 years of experience recommending this formula, Jade Windscreen has been a trusted choice for many.
So Jade Windscreen Works - But How?
The key to health in Chinese medicine is maintaining balance. No formula reinforces this more than Jade Windscreen, with its three powerful herbs (atractylodes, siler root and the mother of all immunity, astragalus): the key to maintaining balance during seasonal transitions, however, is to maintain this health regimen while you’re healthy, allowing the herbs to support your body’s natural defenses and maintain balance during seasonal transitions.
Many doctors of Chinese medicine recommend a 30-day Jade Windscreen binge for maintaining health – in candor, we’ll push the envelope a bit and use it regularly or whenever we feel our system needs extra support, but in all events, the formula seems to continue to work its magic.
Research Behind the Formula
A recent study from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology explored how this formula has been traditionally used to support the body’s natural defenses. The research highlights its widespread use in China during challenging health periods, demonstrating the enduring trust placed in these simple herbs for supporting overall wellness.
DAO Labs & Immunity Support
Jade Windscreen is the herbal foundation of our Immunity Support blend. We’ve made the herbs taste good (Chinese medicine typically doesn’t taste good, at all) with our pear-ginger combination, and you can easily add these to water and consume on the go. Think of these as you would powdered vitamin C packets, but packed with the 2,500-year heritage of Chinese medicine.
