Herbal Medicine Rocks!

Did you know the traditional Chinese medicine herbal formula known as Jade Windscreen powder (aka Yu Ping Feng San) can be used to treat seasonal allergies, allergic rhinitis, and even forms of pet dander??

A few years back, my partner and I were moving in together but the only hold up was yes… my cat, as he was allergic and would wake up congested with watery itchy eyes. It was not going to work, so I spoke with a friend who dealt with the same issue and saw positive results with this tonifying formula relieving all her pet dander symptoms!

This was fascinating because Jade Windscreen is traditionally used to strengthen the outermost epidermal layer to defend against pathogens entering the body (think immune system boosting). I immediately ran to the pharmacy to buy a bottle and surely enough, his cat allergy symptoms slowly started to diminish after a few weeks.

Although this was an unconventional use for Jade Windscreen powder, each herb's function made sense that it could work, and it did.

Chinese herbal medicine is truly divine, and the possibilities are endless as to what you can treat naturally. Have you or someone you know ever tried this formula?? Or have you had an herbal success story yourself? I'd love to hear!
