JADE SCREEN TABLETS (jia wei yu ping feng pian)
Seven Forests 100 tablets/bottle
Respiratory Protective formula:
This formula from the Traditional Chinese medical tradition has been used historically to improve the body's resistance to invading pathogens such as viral infections by strengthening the Wei Qi of the body. In Chinese medical theory the Wei Qi is the protective effect of the immune system.
Research studies into the effects of this formula indicates that this formula regulates immune function, both aiding in the fight against infections, but also reducing allergic responses.
The herbs in the formula, especially the astragalus and siler are thought to be mutually synergistic, each enhancing the other's activity in support of normalizing immune function in the face of invading pathogens. According to TCM, the Jade Screen Formula benefits the qi, consolidates the surface, and stops excessive sweating. This formula has been found to be safe and effective for children, whether they are experiencing frequent infections such as the common cold or influenza or if they have allergies.
