At Mayflower Acupuncture, we often combine the time-tested wisdom of Chinese herbal medicine with modern integrative care. One formula that continues to stand out, especially during seasonal transitions and times of stress, is Seven Forests Jade Screen (Yu Ping Feng San). Known as the “Jade Screen Powder” in classical texts, this blend has been treasured for centuries as a gentle yet effective way to support the body’s defenses and build resilience.
The Story Behind Jade Screen
In traditional Chinese medicine, health is seen as a balance between internal strength and external influences. Centuries ago, practitioners recognized that some individuals were more susceptible to catching colds, fatigue, and environmental irritants. To address this, they developed Jade Screen—a formula designed to act as a protective “screen” or “shield” around the body.
Its name comes from jade, a stone revered for its purity and strength, symbolizing long-lasting protection and vitality.
Key Herbal Ingredients
The Seven Forests Jade Screen formula is a modern adaptation of this classic remedy. It typically features:
- Astragalus (Huang Qi): Strengthens Qi (vital energy) and supports immune function.
- Atractylodes (Bai Zhu): Promotes digestion and fortifies the Spleen, helping the body generate energy.
- Siler Root (Fang Feng): Dispels external pathogens while balancing sensitivity to wind and seasonal changes.
Together, these herbs create a synergistic effect, reinforcing the body’s natural barrier while gently nourishing internal systems.
Modern Applications at Mayflower Acupuncture
Patients in our practice often turn to Jade Screen for:
- Immune Support: Helping reduce the frequency of seasonal colds.
- Allergy Relief: Easing sensitivity to pollen and environmental triggers.
- Energy & Vitality: Supporting those who feel run-down, especially during seasonal shifts.
What makes Seven Forests Jade Screen particularly appealing is that it is safe for long-term use, when guided by a licensed practitioner. Unlike quick-fix remedies, this formula strengthens the body from within, encouraging resilience over time.
A Patient’s Perspective
One of our patients recently shared how adding Jade Screen alongside their acupuncture treatments made the spring allergy season much more manageable. With fewer flare-ups and more consistent energy, they felt empowered to enjoy outdoor activities again—something they hadn’t experienced in years.
