Astragalus (Huang qi), Atractylodes (Bai Zhu), and Siler Root (Fang Feng).  These 3 ingredients make up the powerhouse formula Yu Ping Feng San a.k.a. Fall Mend Blend + ImmuneScreen. 

This formula is a major immune tonic. Astragalus is renown in both the East and the West for its immune and qi boosting properties. When combined with Bai Zhu and Fang Feng, this formula works to dry damp and expel wind as well. (Think morning sniffles and that stiff neck feeling of changing seasons).  

It’s important to strengthen the body during times of health, BEFORE symptoms appear. This formula is designed to keep your exterior strong and pathogens away.  

ImmuneScreen tincture includes these 3 classic ingredients and is best used before the sniffles arrive. Throw it in your bag and take it daily to keep your defenses strong.  

Fall Mend Blend is a granule mixture that dissolves in warm water. It includes the powerhouse formula introduced above as well as another that’s designed to tackle runny noses and sinus congestion. Great on its own or with a bit of honey.
