Are you a teacher, and the prospect of back-to-school germs has you down? Or perhaps you're a parent, particularly of young kids who are prone to airborne bugs, and just can't wait for the germs to make their way back into your home each day. s September arrives with crisp mornings and colorful trees, so too does the challenge of staying well in busy classrooms. While maintaining wellness during the school year isn't always easy, traditional Chinese herbal formulas—like Yu Ping Feng San—have long been used to support the body's natural defenses. This classic blend, featuring three time-honored herbs, is a favorite among educators seeking natural ways to stay balanced through the season.
Teacher Tested Herbs
Tamara, a public school educator in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area, understands how challenging the school environment can be during cold and flu season. With over 28 years of experience as a Speech-Language Pathologist, she’s accustomed to working closely with students—many of whom come into her classroom with seasonal sniffles and coughs. In such close contact, staying well can be difficult, and it’s not uncommon for both students and teachers to feel under the weather as the year progresses.
You know the symptoms. Colds come with a cough, runny nose, raised temperature, loss of appetite, and a sore throat, and can put you out of commission for 24 to 72 hours. Catching the flu is a bit more unpleasant and can include muscle aches, vomiting or diarrhea, a lack of energy, but can become dangerous for some people, potentially leading to ear infections, pneumonia, or dehydration.
Note: While Immunity Support is not intended to treat or prevent colds or flu, many use it to support general wellness during seasonal transitions.
According to Tamara, teachers typically take precautions to keep colds and flu at bay by loading up on supplements and vitamins and taking extra care when washing their hands. But that doesn’t always work.
When she learned about DAO Labs’ Immunity Support, she was eager to try it.
“I was asked to try Immunity Support last year, and the experience was fabulous!” said Tamara. “I felt supported and energized throughout the school year.”
Immunity Support is inspired by the Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine formula Yu Ping Feng Sang, also known as "Jade Windscreen". Three natural herbs, Astragalus (Root) or Huang Qi, Siler (Root) or Fang Feng, and Atractylodes (Stem) or Bai Zhu, come together in this formula to create a "screen as precious as Jade". Immunity Support blends a gentle pear-ginger taste with naturally sourced Vitamin C, making it an easy, flavorful part of your daily wellness routine—especially when seasonal challenges arise.
The herbs in Immunity Support are great for supporting overall wellness during seasonal changes, whether it's cold season or the times when pollen and ragweed levels are higher. Tamara mentioned, “I can honestly say that I didn’t experience the usual discomforts I typically have when pollen is in the air during the fall and spring!”

“I appreciate the fact that this formula is all natural,” said Tamara. “Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine was new to me. The drink was effervescent, flavorful, yet light on the palate. The pear and ginger flavored packets dissolved readily in my water bottle. I even swirled it into my mug of hot water to warm me up on colder days. I enjoyed incorporating it into my wellness routine.”
