Chinese physicians often divide flu patients into three types for treatment:

And the herbs for flu are aimed to expel the pathogens in the exterior body, the famous prescriptions are such as:

The above flu prescriptions are mainly worked by modulating the bodyˇ¦s self-defense abilities to fight against flu virus, some of the ingredients also can inhibit flu virus.

People like to take OTC flu drugs, however when taking the Chinese OTC for flu, it is more important to identify their own specific flu types as well as read the drug labels carefully.
