Children’s Jade Defense Formula first promotes ying qi using bai zhu; huang qi creates and reinforces the centrifugal wei qi; fang feng and ju hua help lead the wei qi to the exterior. It is a remarkably effective formula, despite the few ingredients chosen.

'This formula is a variation of Yu Ping Feng San in a syrup form that children can easily take. Clinically, this formula can be used for several different applications. Foremost is for recovery following an illness. Fever and cough deplete the body of its zheng qi, even in young children, and it is important to replenish qi after a cold, cough, or other acute sickness. Secondly, I use it when a parent asks me what I can do to boost their child’s immune system, especially when sickness is running rampant at day-care or school. Here, I advise taking a dose once or twice a day. The formula can safely be taken for a long time. The third application is before and during allergy season. Taking the formula for 2-4 weeks prior to the onset of known pollen allergies boosts both wei and ying qi, making allergy season much less of a problem. During pollen allergies, I always combine this formula with something symptomatic for nasal symptoms, such as Bi Yan Pian.'
