Plants have been the basis of medical treatment for much of human history and when taken routinely, can provide profound results. Synthetic supplements don’t even come close to this 800 year old formula, especially when made with organic raw herbs. Yu Ping Feng San or Jade Wind Screen is the most popular and widely recommended formula by acupuncturists and doctors of Chinese medicine worldwide.
Its name refers to the strong, impenetrable barrier it creates, protecting the body from being impacted by outside bacteria, viruses and disease carried by the wind and air. The combination of these three potent ingredients work to powerfully strengthen your immune function and modulate cytokine release.
