Cold Prevent, 4 oz. $31.00

Cold Prevent, 2 oz. $17.00

Cold Prevent™ is a complex herbal remedy based on a combination of three ancient Chinese formulas.  It was designed to treat the early stages of the common cold and to ward it off before it gets a grip on the system.  It has been tested clinically for over fifteen years with remarkable success.  Patients report that using this formula at the first sign of symptoms (sore throat, nasal congestion, fatigue and general aching) alleviates the condition within 24 hours. Remember:  the first 24 – 48 hours are the best time to stop a cold!

 

The three-part formula focuses on the main components of a cold.  One part strengthens and stimulates the immune system to protect from the invasion of pathogens. The second part has powerful antiviral properties. The third part breaks down and prevents the accumulation of mucus while increasing digestive function.  Most patients report that the effects of this combination are superior to those obtained with Echinacea and Goldenseal formulas or other Chinese formulas such as Yin Qiao or Gan Mao Ling. Cold Prevent™ combines the essence of these formulas and adds other herbs to achieve balance and stronger synergistic effects on the body's immune system.  It has the attributes of stimulating the immune system while treating the virus and the symptoms at the same time. It is generally taken short term at the first signs of a cold and discontinued once a person feels better.  

 

The Cold & Flu Herbal Formula focuses on:

*    Activating the “Qi” and boosting the immune system;

*    Creating an unfavorable environment for the virus;

*    Reducing the accumulation of mucus; and

*    Increasing digestive function.

Kids’ Immune Tonic, 4oz. $31.00

Kid’s Immune Tonic, 2oz. $17.00

Kids’ Immune Tonic™ is an effective herbal remedy designed to strengthen a child’s wei chi (protective energy against pathogens).  It directs the body toward a state of deep strength and balance so that the body’s immune system can function at its best.  Whenever the cold season comes, it can be used as a preventative especially when children will be exposed to viruses and bacteria.  It is also beneficial if a child has had recurring colds or infections to rebuild and strengthen the system.

 

Ginseng & Astragalus (Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang)

This is a powerful formula to strengthen the immune system so the body will not be so susceptible to all those winter bugs and viruses.  Studies have shown that the herbs in this formula boos the activity of both B and T cells, basically strengthening our defense against unwanted invaders.

 

Ginseng & Astragalus Formula, 100 caps, $24.00

Pueraria Combination (Ge Gen Tang)

 This formula is one of the ancient Shang Han Lun formulas.  It warms the body and raises the “wei qi” or the defensive layer that protects us from viruses, bacteria and other pathogens.  Pueraria is especially useful on planes where we are exposed to dozens of foreign viruses every time we fly. That, combined with jet lag and disruption in diet, exercise and sleep creates an ideal scenario for catching a cold.  Pueraria is also good for aches and pains, whether from an old injury or the flu.

 

Pueraria Combination, 100 caps, $17.00

Cardamom & Fennel (An Zhong San)

This is an ideal remedy for nervous stomachache, heartburn, acid reflux and chronic gastritis.  This natural antacid will dissipate the burning sensation in the stomach that is caused by stress.  This formula works, not only to control the symptoms, but to restore balance to the digestive system.

Cnidium and Tea (Chuan Xiong Cha Tiao San)

This ancient formula dates from 1110 and is used for acute and chronic headaches, including migraines.  It is also used for acute frontal headaches associated with sinus congestion or with a cold.  This formula stops pain by decreasing inflammation and invigorating the circulation of qi and blood in the head.

Additional Products:

 

 

Ginseng: (a full line of Panax, American, White and Eluthero ginsengs)

Ginseng is taken daily by millions of people in Asia and is revered as a superior herbal medicine.  It has been shown in human studies to:

*        Have a long-term anti-stress effect

*        Improve physical and mental performance, memory, and reaction time

*        Enhance mood

*        Treat energy and stamina deficiency

*        Improve blood circulation to the heart, and lower cholesterol

*        Treat anxiety when due to stress

*        Stabilize diabetes (Type II)

*        Lessen symptoms of menopause, including vaginal atrophy

*        Increase sperm production and sperm motility

*        Increase libido

Herbs, including ginseng, with such broad-spectrum action, are termed adaptogens. Adaptogens, also called tonics, are nontoxic; capable of increasing resistance to a wide range of stresses; and bring balance to the body. This ability to bring the body to balance and to support a wide variety of functions is what makes ginseng so valuable as a remedy. Adaptogens work best after long-term moderate use by regulating biological functions, including hormone function, to defend against the destructive effects of chronic stress.

 

Cordyceps:

Cordyceps is a fungus used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for “lung protection” and “reproductive invigoration” as well as to balance the “Qi” – the fundamental “energy of life.”

 

Cordyceps has been known to increase energy levels, sex drive and athletic performance. Before 1993, Cordyceps Sinensis was relatively unknown outside of traditional Chinese medicine. Then in 1993, Chinese athletes broke the 10,000 meter World Track Record. That same year Chinese women scored amazing successes at the National Games in Beijing.  What was the secret that allowed Chinese athletes to surpass world records? They were using Cordyceps.

 

 

For hundreds of years, traditional Chinese medicine has held Cordyceps in high regard. This powerful, yet gentle and natural fungal herb is used to:

 

 

*        Relieve asthma and chronic bronchitis

*        Improve lung function and oxygen uptake

*        Boost libido and sexual function

*        Improve athletic performance

*        Treat kidney problems, cardiovascular disease and hypertension

*        Treat leucopenia and health problems caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy

*        Treat insomnia, fatigue, stress, and afflictions of the nervous system

*        Treat acute and chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis

For centuries Cordyceps was only available to Chinese royalty because it only grows under very specific and hard-to-duplicate conditions on the Qinghai--the Tibetan Plateau-- where the temperature is low year round. The high altitude limits the oxygen available. These harsh conditions, which make life difficult even for most fungi, are perfect for growing Cordyceps.

 

Jiaogulan:

Revered in China as “the immortality herb,” Jiaogulan has been valued for its ability to promote vibrant health, longevity, fertility, and immortality. Jiaogulan has been extensively researched in China and is known for its ability to:

*        Lower cholesterol levels

*        Assist in weight loss

*        Improve circulation

*        Stimulate liver function

*        Strengthen the immune & nervous system

*        Reduce blood sugar

*        Lower blood pressure

Jiaogulan has been used medicinally for nervous tension and exhaustion, asthma and bronchitis, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, ulcers and cancer.

 

AHCC: Active Hexose Correlated Compound

AHCC is a proprietary compound produced by cultivation and enzymatic modification of several species of mushroom mycelia, including shiitake, grown in rice bran extract. Considered a super food supplement in Japan, AHCC has been researched extensively for its immune-enhancement properties. According to human and animal research, AHCC may significantly increase natural killer (NK) cell activity. AHCC may also increase macrophage activity, enhance cytokine production, and support the healthy functioning of the liver, as well as act as an antioxidant.

 

 

Red Rice Yeast:

Red yeast (Monascus purpureus) is grown on white rice and then fermented – creating the product known as “red yeast rice.” The yeast is then inactivated and the rice/yeast mixture is powdered. In traditional Chinese medicine, red yeast rice is used for “healthy blood” and to “strengthen the heart” while modern dietary supplements use red yeast rice (RYR) to lower cholesterol levels.

 

Studies have shown that consumption of red yeast rice:

 

*        reduces total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels

*        reduces triglyceride levels

*        inhibits the formation of atherosclerotic plaques

*        increases HDL levels

 

A recent study with Red Yeast Rice supplements found that after a two month course (2.4 grams per day) total cholesterol was reduced by 16%, LDL was reduced by 21% and total triglyceride levels were reduced by 25%, while HDL levels increased by 15%.
