What is Plum Flower – Gan Mao Ling?
Plum Flower – Gan Mao Ling is a Chinese Herbal Medicine formula recommended for those with body stress associated with the common cold and the flu. Take it as soon as you feel the first signs of a cold or flu coming on – a scratchy throat, feeling cold, sensitivity to wind, runny nose with clear phlegm, etc. Take it immediately and often and it can help to reduce the symptoms and shorten the length of your cold!
If symptoms include nasal and sinus congestion, the formula can be taken with Bi Yan Pian. If a sore throat occurs along with the cold, it can be taken with Chuan Xin Lian Antiphlogistic Pills. If there is accompanying nausea or diarrhea, Curing Pills or Lophanthus Antifebrile (Huo Xiang Zheng Qi Wan) can be added.
