Beyond Beyond Well Being: (worst blog title EVER!)
Seasonal Influenza
(Swine, Bird, H1N1, etc.)
-
About the time that Europe was reeling beneath the strain of The Plague, the Chinese were learning to deal with their own epidemics including those that produce a fever and are highly contageous.
From this period comes a highly developed series of herbal protocols designed to address the scourge of our days, viral attacks of influenza such as H1N1, Swine Flu, Bird Flu, etc. It is no wonder then, that Chinese hospitals aggressively test and use key herb combinations from this period in Chinese history.
Two formulas are available, one to assist the immune system BEFORE exposure to a flu virus, and one to support the immunity AFTER exposure to a flu virus. Read more about these timely formulas...
