Herbal Formulas Used for COVID-19 in China

I understand that these are trying times in many ways. I am heartened by seeing communities around the globe come together to share information and services with one another. My respect goes to the hospital and other essential workers, and I commend everyone for their efforts to flatten the curve of infections. I have been reviewing medical research on COVID-19, and earlier this week participated in a webinar with Dr. John Chen based on the February 19, 2020 article on how COVID-19 is currently treated in China compiled, translated and edited by him and Lori Hsu. This information is for educational purposes, and if you suspect you have contracted the virus, contact and consult your primary physician or the nearest testing facility or hospital.  

As the report states, over 60,000 COVID-19 patients in hospitals in China were treated with integrative medicine including pharmaceuticals, acupuncture and herbal formulas. While there is some acupuncture available in U.S. hospitals, the virus will undoubtedly be treated much differently here. Since herbal treatment will not be used within hospitals to reduce ventilator use, of interest to U.S. readers may be these two formulas that are now available for pick-up or delivery from a local dispensary, Kamwo.

1) The formula designed to fortify the defense system as a preventative measure:

This formula is a modified version of the traditional formula Yu Ping Feng San prepared as a tea in BPA-free, single-serve pouches or as a powder in gluten-free, water-soluble substrate.


For a reduced cost option, the original Yu Ping Feng San formula is also available.

2) The formula designed to support recovery after there is no longer a viral infection and all primary medical care for such has concluded:

This formula is a modified version of the traditional formula Sha Shen Mai Dong Tang prepared as a tea in BPA-free, single-serve pouches.


When kept at room temperature, can be preserved for thirty (30) days or up to sixty (60) days in a refrigerator.
