I was asked by a long time customer what I felt would be the best 2 or 3 Chinese Patent Formulas to have handy in ones medicine cabinet in case he or his wife and kids got sick or injured.

It did not take me long to give my suggestions and I thought it would be a good idea to share my personal  Top Ten Chinese Patent Formulas that everybody should have handy. With Fall fast approaching some of these formulas should be close at hand to prevent a full blown cold or flu.

What is a Chinese Patent Formula?

If you are not familiar with what a Chinese Patent Formula is, let me explain. They are herbal formulas designed to heal various symptoms at the root level. Most of these formulas date back over 600 years and have not changed since they were initially put together and prescribed to a patient, hence the term Patent Formula.

These formulas are based on Traditional Chinese Medicine aka TCM and can be used with or without acupuncture. I have been personally taking some of these formulas since the late 70’s and they do a terrific job without any side affects. They are surprisingly inexpensive and work deceptively fast.

For the most part Chinese Patent formulas are made into small sized pills some are even the size of BB’s. They are concentrated so taking with warm or hot water is suggested to speed up the breakdown and absorption by the body. Since the pills are small, the dosage is larger and more frequent, usually 3 times per day. They are best taken when the stomach is at it’s emptiest. First thing in the morning upon waking up is perfect, then 3-4 hours after lunch and the last dosage at bedtime. Depending on your schedule and lifestyle will also determine the best times to take these formulas.

My top ten formulas you should have at home or work are listed below and not in any specific order.

My Top Ten Chinese Patent Formulas

Chuan Xin Lian

This classic formula is one of the best sore throat formulas ever made. If you start feeling a sore throat coming on, take this formula immediately and it will knock out that soreness fast. When Fall and Winter approach this formula should almost be at your fingertips.

The key is to take the minute your throat feels scratchy or just not right. Listening to your body and acting without hesitation really makes a big difference, I actually keep a bottle in my car so it is at my fingertips in case I am out and start feeling that scratchiness in my throat.

Gan Mao Ling

One of the best formulas for cold and flu symptoms like a fever, chills or that tired feeling. Gan Mao Ling dispels what is classified in Chinese medicine as wind and heat or wind and cold. I like it since it can detoxify pathogens like viruses.

 

Yin Chiao

Another great formula for wind heat like the flu, swollen lymph nodes, aching body, and headaches associated with the cold or flu, this formula can be combined with Chuan Xin Lian for a powerful duo when you get cold or flu like symptoms especially fevers. Also has shown to be effective for itching skin due to wind heat or allergenic reactions like hives.

 

Ching Wan Hung

This is a ointment for burns, rashes and even skin ulcers. It works like magic regenerating and healing skin. If you burn yourself apply this right away and the pain disappears and helps prevent a scar, your skin is like new in a day or so, a truly awesome product. Ching Wan Hung comes in 2 sizes one is in a tube and the other in a jar.

 

Zheng Gu Shui

A all purpose liniment for a variety of injuries like bad sprains, contusions, fractures and even broken bones. The name translated into English literally means broken bone water and was used for that very purpose. Apply it liberally as directed and you will see great results.

 

Bi Yan Pian

Sinus conditions are for the most part extremely uncomfortable, from excess mucous, headaches or sinusitis, Bi Yan Pian is a all natural herbal decongestant that helps take care of all those symptoms.

Li Gan Pian

One of the most important organs in the body is the Liver and one of the only organs in the body that can regenerate itself if given the proper nourishment and the best nourishment is Li Gan Pian. Our liver is our filter for the body that works 24/7 for us and needs on occasion support to help with all its functions, Li Gan Pian is a all natural formula to do just that. In TCM terms this formula reduces heat and damp heat in the liver. It has been used successfully to treat acute and chronic jaundice and hepatitis.

Dit Da Jow

Everybody gets bruised or slightly injured either at home, work, or at the gym that is why  a authentic Dit Da Jow liniment is a must have. This unique ancient Chinese Herbal Formula heals bruises, contusions sprained joints and muscle pain just to name a few. Rub it on and it starts to heal instantly. Unlike other liniments Dit Da Jow does not give that hot or burning sensation which is something you should avoid depending on the situation. You can purchase Dit Da Jow in a kit form to make your own( the best and most economical way) or in one, two and four ounce bottles.

Be Yen Lin

If you have airborne allergies of any kind then Be Yen Lin will help, this centuries old formula reduces the allergic reaction to most plant and animal allergies. From pollen, dust and pet dander Be Yen Lin stops that runny nose, sneezing, watery eyes or that swollen face a lot of people get when exposed to these allergens.

 

E Mei Shan

E Mei Shan is a medicated plaster that is applied on the skin, the unique herbal formulation keeps the plaster on the skin and starts starts healing anything from backaches, strains, arthritic areas and sprains. After 2 days or so the skin oils loosen the plaster for you to easily remove and apply another if needed. Each box has 5 plasters measuring 2.76″ by 3.94″. These plasters are medicated with some of the herbs used in Dit Da Jow so they are very effective.

These 10 Chinese Herbal Patent Formulas are what I feel should be in your medicine cabinet and maybe in your car if you are on the road a lot. These formulas are the best at what they do and from my experience cover conditions most people deal with on a daily basis.
