Used for the early stages of the common cold or flu with symptoms where stronger feelings of achiness and heat predominate. It is most effective if taken immediately (ie: during first few days) of feeling like a common cold is coming on. Gan Mao Ling can be combined with Yin Qiao Formula for a more systemic heat clearing, pathogen-releasing effect.

This is a modification of the famous formula Ge Gen Tang which treats the early stages of the common cold when feelings of cold predominate and affect the neck, shoulders, upper back. People experiencing this type of common cold/flu typically first notice that the muscles in their shoulders/traps/upper back/neck become tight, stiff, and uncomfortable. This feeling moves up the neck into the occipital area, leading to symptoms such as headaches, body aches, mild sore throat, more chills than fever.
Neck Formula is an outstanding formula for all types of neck and shoulder disorders and pain. It specifically focuses on the upper body, making it very effective in the treatment of neck/shoulder pain even for those NOT sick with a cold/flu.

Yu Ping Feng San is commonly taken 4-6 weeks before each change of seasons. It is especially helpful for those who seasonal allergies and/or tend to get sick when the seasons change. It helps to minimize the chance of catching seasonal common colds, and can reduce allergy symptoms.
