Formula Description

This modern formula is essentially Yu Ping Feng San + Cang Er Zi San:

  • Cang Er Zi San provides symptomatic relief—opens the nose so the patient can breathe
  • Yu Ping Feng San prevents recurrence—strengthens defenses so Wind cannot reinvade
  • Bo He bridges both—disperses wind while guiding all herbs to the head

Best suitable for patients with recurring nasal congestion who catch colds easily, have weak constitution, and present with clear/white discharge.
