Cold and Allergy Formulas
What TCM products do acupuncturists keep in their offices most commonly?
It depends on a series of factors. After consulting with Dr. Chun-han Zhu and Dr. Chunze Zhu, who are both Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners and Acupuncturists in Massachusetts, we found an interesting list of TCM formulas they often use for coping with cold and allergies.
Several TCM products are described in the Clinical Handbook of Chinese Prepared Medicines by Dr. Chun-han Zhu as exogenous pathogen formulas. Dr. Chun-han Zhu differentiates the symptoms in two general patterns: wind cold and wind heat. Accordingly he provides two different sets of formulas for these situations.
We hope the list will become a helpful reference for people who want to start a small TCM pharmacy along with their practice. You are welcome to order these most basic and commonly used products. Ordered by case they are at a discounted rate.
