Gui Zhi Tang is a simple formula of 5 Chinese herbs: cinnamon bark, white peony bark, fresh ginger, jujube dates, and licorice root. The specific combination of these five herbs can help your immune system combat the early stages of what is known in Chinese medicine as wind cold. Symptoms include more chills than fever, headache, and neck stiffness. If you take this formula at the right time, it is incredibly effective for preventing illness. The trick is taking it right when you start feeling chills and before you get other symptoms like sore throat or cough. By that time it’s too late. It’s a great formula to keep in your back pocket for these windy ups and downs before Spring decides to stay. Available to established patients.
