• Strengthen bones, muscles and tendons.
• Nourish blood.
• Enhance blood circulation.

For elders, kids, or those who are weak, don’t wait for the flu to go away by itself. Take the herbs to end the flu sooner and prevent it from degenerating into something serious like bronchitis or pneumonia.

The prescription should be written according to what kind of symptoms the patient has, and the severity of those symptoms:
1) Fever or high temperature
Lian Qiao 連 翹
Huang Qin 黃 芩
Zhi Zi 枝 子
Di Gu Pi 地 骨 皮
2) Cough, phlegm and nasal congestion
Chuan Bei Mu 川 貝 母
Sang Bai Pi 桑 白 皮
Qing Pi 青 皮
Zi Su Ye 紫 蘇 葉
Pi Pa Ye 批 杷 葉
3) Indigestion requiring mild purging
Zhi Shi 枳 實
Fan Xie Ye 番 瀉 葉
4) Weak respiratory system (depending on the patient)
Bai Bu 百 步
Zi Wan 紫 菀
A combination of 13 herbs are recommended.

There are other symptoms requiring no treatment, because they will go away automatically when the flu is reduced, e.g. tiredness, aches and pains, or lack of appetite. These symptoms are your body’s natural reaction to the flu. It would be a mistake if herbs are prescribed to lessen those symptoms. Why? Those symptoms all require strengthening herbs which are “hot” in nature. The herbs you use for the flu have to be “cold” in nature. Thus you would create a conflict in your prescription. This conflict would result in lessening the overall effect of the herb package, and even worse, prolonging the flu. If those symptoms still remain after the flu is gone, something else is wrong and should be treated from a different angle by strengthening the body.

Drink one to two cups (8 oz each) of herb tea a day.
Chinese herbs are very effective in reducing the various discomforts of the flu and shortening its hold on you.
Most flu patients need less than five days of herbs to completely recover.
While you recover from the flu, remember to rest, drink more water, eat light meals, and avoid greasy, peppery, deep-fried and barbecued food.

This is just one formula with countless variations depending on:
* Severity and nature of the symptoms based on observation and discussion of the problem with the herbalist.
* How weak is your body and how much herbs you need to help you fight the flu.

Aging can be a depressing experience if you think about withering away in a helpless situation. Therefore, the goal to combat aging is to maintain your health strong enough so that you can take care of yourself and perform what you are capable of doing as you move on.

Nature of aging
• Aging and health deterioration goes hand in hand.
• In normal circumstances, your body stops growing around 20, followed by a so-called prime or plateau period lasting until 40.
• Most young people don’t worry about aging. Why should they?
• When you reach 40 or later, and begin to feel some downhill symptoms, suddenly you’ll appreciate the meaning of aging.
• Aging occurs gradually from 40 to 50, which may not be noticeable. Then it may occur in a step function, enough to make you nervous.
• There are of course some exceptions to the above description.
• The general rule is that if you care about maintaining good health even when you are young, the downhill symptoms will occur later rather than sooner.
• Health maintenance should be cultivated as a habit or lifestyle.
• Prevention should be taken more seriously.

Examples of downhill symptoms:
• Decrease in physical endurance, especially in sports activities.
• Energy depletion, more rest to replenish energy.
• Slower response time.
• Memory not as good as before.
• Joint pains more frequent and intense.
• Weight gain due to metabolic change.
• Menopause in females.
• Less fertile and less sexual desire.
• Countless others more serious and scary.

Do not fantasize about miracle herbs that can bring back the fountain of youth. The movies and some businessmen say those herbs exist. The Chinese Emperors had been looking for them all the time. The Emperors were the most spoiled bunch. Many of them died young because they did not take care of their health. They ordered the eunuchs to find the miracle herbs. The smart eunuchs would run away because they knew they could never find them. The less smart ones returned with some fake things, only to face execution because they could not deliver. During the Three-Kingdoms period in China, the legendary herbalist Hua Tuo 華佗 was executed circa 205 A.D. by Cao Cao 曹操 for refusing to devote fulltime to curing Cao’s chronic headaches. The fact that Hua Tuo was executed late in his professional life in his 90’s shows that he had found a way to delay aging.

The Chinese approach to delay aging emphasizes strengthening and prevention by adopting a healthy lifestyle, eating the right kind of food, and using medicinal herbs as a supplement. The herbs aim to enhance overall body functions, with special attention paid to weaker organs. A stronger body is the best defense against disease and aging. The following herbs are recommended for health enhancement:

1) Strengthen overall
Ren Shen 人參
Dang Shen 黨參
Bai Zhu 白朮
Fu Ling 伏苓
Gan Cao 甘草

2) Strengthen blood
Chuan Xiong 川芎
Dang Gui 當歸
Di Huang 地黃
Chi Shao 赤芍

3) Enhance Qi circulation
Huang Qi 黃耆
Sang Ji Sheng 桑寄生
Suo Yang 鎖陽

4) Reduce excess heat
Huang Qin 黃芩
A total of 13 herbs are used.

Drink one cup (8 oz) of herb tea a day, preferably in the morning to allow for dissipation of excess heat generated by the strengthening herbs. You don’t need the herb tea for consecutive days. Drinking 10 to 20 cups of herb tea within a month will suffice normally.

This is just one formula with countless variations depending on:
* How accurate the herbalist can pinpoint your weak organs.
* How weak is your body initially.
* How does your body respond to the herbs.
