Yu Ping Feng San — Jade Windscreen Powder Decoction

Why people make this tea

Yu Ping Feng San — “Jade Windscreen Powder” — is one of the most storied formulas in classical Chinese medicine, designed to build what practitioners call wei qi (defensive energy at the body’s surface). The name evokes a jade screen standing between you and the wind: a subtle but sturdy shield. People who catch colds easily, look pale, feel chronically tired, or sweat without exertion are the classic candidates. Nourilo recommends this formula especially for children who get sick every time the weather changes, and for adults who feel run-down through a long cold season.
