Description:

A blend that should not be missing in any home medicine cabinet, for conditions we have experienced countless times in ourselves and family... We get blown away by a cold wind or "catch a virus". For various reasons (either we do not catch the first symptoms of the disease, or we underestimate them, or we are already exhausted from other causes), the harmful substance "from the surface" gets into the "interior" of the organism. Symptoms such as mild temperature or chills with shivering, stuffy nose, headache, stiff neck, soreness of muscles and joints - "the whole person", slight sweating or its complete cessation, suddenly begin to be associated with symptoms of heat... Usually it starts with a feeling of "hot breath", then quickly rises fever, already above 38.It is for this mixture of superficial symptoms and those already corresponding to the affliction of the Yang Ming compartment (the largest compartment in the body, "full of Qi and blood", where when the harmful substance enters a battle characterized by "big" hot symptoms rages) that Chai Ge Jie Ji Tang is the best solution.

There are two important herbs in the name of the blend, pro-grass and kudzu, which help to release the wind harmfulness from the surface, kudzu also beautifully relaxes the stiff muscles in the neck, shoulders and upper back. It is further assisted by a trio of dahurian dogwood, notopterigium and peony, and together they relieve the unpleasant, familiar aches and pains and fractures. The coneflower clears the heat that is building up and the platycodon relaxes and restores the proper flow of Qi in the Lung area, as does the famous trinity of licorice, ginger and jujube in the "center" area. Thus, the blend also prevents stagnation and further formation of full-blown heat. The fever subsides, the muscles, head and neck stop aching and our energy and strength return quickly.

Notes:

A completely unique blend that treats the passage of the harmful substance from the surface into the body, which usually needs to be administered sooner than we think - in winter, right when hot breath and aversion to cold appear and the "cold" turns to heat when externally attacked. You have a few hours before inflammation fully develops! That's why you need to keep it in your medicine cabinet at home.
