PRACTITIONER NOTES
This classic formula is widely popular because of its ability to treat upper burner disorders without injury to the middle burner.
Unlike some Yin Chiao imported from China, Dr. Shen's Yin Chiao contains no drugs, dyes, pharmaceuticals, animal products, or unlisted ingredients. Each tablet contains a generous amount (750 mgs.) of premium grade wildcrafted herbs. Each tablet is also coated with natural food glaze and shaped for easy swallowing
Though Dr. Shen's Yin Chiao is considered a Wind Heat formula, it is traditionally used, and effective for, both Wind Heat and Wind Cold patterns. However, using this formula for Damp conditions can require the addition of herbs or formulas such as Er Chen Wan to dry dampness and leech dampness from the tissue.
Superior to other formulas used for Wind Cold, Dr. Shen's Yin Chiao is suitable for patients who present with dryness due to deficiency of Blood or Yin. This is because of the mild and non-drying nature of the herbs used in this formula.

It is always combined with other herbs.The blend used in Dr. Shen's Woman's Precious Pill is the most widely used of these combinations. It brings out the best qualities of the herbi while eliminating any unwanted effects.Though this formula is used as a daily supplement to maintain good health, it is also used to treat symptoms related to deficiencies such as: Fatigue, weakness, menstual irregularities, tired limbs, pallor, pale tongue, infertility, shortness of breath or palpitations, lightheadedness, reduced appetite.
Dr. Shen's Woman's Precious Pills, like most modern versions of this formula, uses Dang Shen (Codonopsis) instead of Ren Shen (Ginseng), making it cost effective, more tonifying to the Spleen, and helping the user to better assimilate the four Blood tonic herbs.
TRADITIONAL SERVING
Four to Six tablets are recommended daily for health maintenance. Relieving symptoms can require nine to twelve or more tablets daily. Ideally, these are taken in three doses, preferably on an empty stomach. Compliance, however, may improve when taken twice-a-day, half in the morning and half in the evening.
COURSE OF USE
The course of use is a minimum of one month and a maximum of eleven months per year.
The pills can also be taken together with Dr. Shen's Free and Easy Pills (also known as Shao Yao Wan) to help circulation and drainage while still strengthening the Blood.
SUGGESTION
Like most Chinese herbal tonics (strengtheners), discontinue during cold and flu.

HERBS for CONSTIPATION
RHUBARB PILL
Way Better than SennaMarco Polo Went to China
For the RhubarbIn Marco Polo's time, everyone knew about using Chinese rhubarb for constipation. Chinese rhubarb rhizome (different from rhubarb the food) was the most sought after medicine of its time and a big reason for East-West trade for almost a thousand years. Dr.Shen's Rhubarb Rx is an herbal blend that brings out the best qualities of Chinese rhubarb. Safer than senna or other laxatives, it's a tonic (strengthening) formula with laxative effect, not a simple purgative. These qualities make it better for long term use than common laxatives. If constipation does last more than a week, it is prudent to consult a physician.Using this or any laxative during pregnancy should be avoided.
SOURCE
Shen Shi Zun Sheng Shu (Master Shen's Book for Revering Life), by Shen Jin-Ao, 1773 AD, and Pi Wei Lun (Treatus on the Spleen and Stomach) by Li-Ao, 1249 ADPRACTITIONER NOTES
This formula will work for a variety of etiologies, but it is most suited for constipation arising from deficiency of Yin or Blood. Dr. Shen's Rhubarb Rx draws on two versions of Run Chang Wan (Moisten Intestines Pill). It uses Mai Men Dong (Opthopogon) instead of Huo Ma Ren (marijuana seeds), making the formula more tonifying without loss of lubrication. Cooked or processed rhubarb can have an astringent, binding effect. Dr. Shen's Rhubarb Rx uses quality unprocessed Chinese rhubarb rhizome. This maximizes the plant's anthraglycosides, potentiating its laxative properties.Therefore, this product should not be used to treat diarrhea, and is always contraindicated for patients with loose stool, spleen deficiency or diarrhea.Like any strong downward-draining medicine, Dr. Shen's Rhubarb Rx should not be used during pregnancy.THE HERBS

Immune System Enhancement
Jade Shield - Astragalus Combination
Classically known as Augmented Jade Windscreen, this formula is used to build defensive energy (wei qi) and Consolidate the Surface (protect against cold, flu, and other illness-causing invasions).
Formula Source: Jade Windscreen Powder, Teachings of Zhu Dan Xi
Actions: Augments the Qi, Stabilizes the Exterior
Augmentation: addition of Ligustrum lucidum (privit fruit Nu Zhen Zi and Cinammomi ramulus cinammon twig Gui Zhi Practitioner Note: Adding Ligustrum expands the immune enhancing property of astragalus while reducing the drying properties of both the atractylodes and the ledebouriella.
