GAN MAO LING, or "Common Cold Effective Remedy", though technically a remedy for Wind-Heat, can be used for both Wind-Heat patterns, and for Wind-Cold patterns.  It can be taken at any stage, and, like YIN CHIAO pills, should be used as soon as possible when exposed to colds or similar conditions.  It's been our experience that GAN MAO LING works best for Wind-Evil Invasion begins in the nose; whereas YIN CHIAO pills appear to be more effective for Evils first noticed in the throat.

We believe that Dr. Shen's Gan Mao Ling Pills are more effective than similar products imported from China, because Dr. Shen uses premium quality export grade herbs, rather than the B Grade herbs that are normally used to make pills in China.  Dr. Shen also imports their herbs whole, rather than as powder, so the herbs can be identified as being the correct species and grade. The Dr. Shen brand laboratory tests each batch of raw materials in the USA before tableting. Herbs are tested for heavy metals, mold, and harmful bacteria.  Tablets are further tested for dissolvability.  Dr. Shen's Gan Mao Ling Pills are then coated with a thin vegetable glaze for easy swallowing.
