To be used as a supplement to a balanced diet when common cold and flu symptoms are present.

Western medicine considers common cold virus infections to be mild, self-limiting upper respiratory illnesses that typically resolve within a few days, assuming a healthy adult and adequate rest during recovery. However, in young children and elderly adults, these infections can be dangerous and debilitating. Influenza viruses tend to be more aggressive and pose greater risks to a wider range of people.

Traditional Chinese Medicine views cold and flu viral infections as a disease caused by exogenous Wind-Heat, an exterior pathogenic factor attacking the human body surface. Signs and symptoms of cold/flu viral infections due to exogenous Wind-Heat include fever with or without sweating, chilly sensations, thirst, cough, drainage from sinuses and nose, headache, sore throat, and achy joints.

This formula is not only for the first sign of Wind-Heat conditions when they are easier to treat. This formula is also effective during later stages. If the infection has progressed to the lower respiratory tract with coughing and chest pain, please use Dr. Kang Formula #2 - LR-Cough. This formula can also be used to prevent Wind-Heat when other family members are sick. Dr. Kang recommends keeping the air in the room fresh. Use vinegar in a humidifier, as increased acidity is antiseptic for airborne bacteria and viruses.
