Gan Mao Ling, 100 ct, Plum Flower

Works wonders

I take 4 tablets in the morning when I'm going out into the public for shopping or errands.Discovered this product after a mild bout with Covid late into the pandemic. I've learned that I can also get this very product from my acupuncture practitioner, which she recommends very highly; it has anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties, a good thing today.

Gai Mao Ling is good for any cold. It works!Drink with warm water or honey lemon tea! I have used it for years! You can double the dosage.

Since I started purchasing these about a year ago, I haven't had a cold or other illness progress past the early tickles, except one time. The one time I did have it progress, I stopped taking them too soon and didn't start taking them again when I felt the congestion begin again. I've taken these for illnesses I've felt begin in the throat and for ones that begin in the nose. Like another reviewer, I have asthma but I also have an autoimmune disease. The asthma makes me end up having bronchitis or pneumonia pretty much every time I pick up someone's "sniffles" (or worse). After that progresses, my body starts attacking itself and things go downhill quick. This herbal blend has worked well for me as an anti-viral. I have even taken it when exposed to sick people. As a homeschooling mom, I seem to pick up everything my kids get. This in combination with keeping my vitamin D levels up, taking vitamin C, and taking care to eat well have been a great combination to keep my body well and help keep my immune system from running wild. Since the dose is 4 pills 3 times per day, you will go through a bottle fast, especially if multiple family members are using this. There is a 500 economy pack. Same product but a lot less when you check the price per dose. I try to quickly swallow these but even though there isn't black licorice, I get a bit of that kind of taste in my mouth but I resolve that quickly with several more big swallows of water after I swallow these.

I've used Gan Mao Ling on and off for over 20 years, after learning about it in a Chinese nutrition class I took. Chinese herbs are powerful, time tested, and I can say that this formula really has nipped many colds right in the bud.

It’s great

This patent formula works very well.

I’ve used this for about a year now. I have always been prone to bronchitis and other lung infections from asthma. Every year I would be at urgent care or the ER one to three times. They would load me up on steroids and codeine syrup and sometimes even antibiotics to try to stop things from getting worse. Since taking this (at the onset of symptoms when I feel a sore throat or cold/flu coming on) I have not had one single trip to urgent care. Not one single lung infection. I am now heading into year two of the cold and flu season and I will never be without this. I read that there have been clinical trials in China testing this drug against western antivirals and it performed better. I have not seen the trials myself and cannot confirm but there is something about this formula that works extremely well. My acupuncturist gave this to me. This herbal recommendation alone was worth the cost of the acupuncturist visit. I honestly didn’t think it would work so it isn’t placebo effect.
