Unlike some Yin Chiao imported from China, Dr. Shen's Yin Chiao contains no drugs, dyes, pharmaceuticals, animal products, or unlisted ingredients. Each tablet contains a generous amount (750 mgs.) of premium grade wildcrafted herbs. Each tablet is also coated with natural food glaze and shaped for easy swallowing.

Though Dr. Shen's Yin Chiao is considered a Wind Heat formula, it is traditionally used, and effective for, both Wind Heat and Wind Cold patterns. However, using this formula for Damp conditions can require the addition of herbs or formulas such as Er Chen Wan to dry dampness and leech dampness from the tissue.

Superior to other formulas used for Wind Cold, Dr. Shen's Yin Chiao is suitable for patients who present with dryness due to deficiency of Blood or Yin. This is because of the mild and non-drying nature of the herbs used in this formula.
