According to traditional Chinese medicine, you always should be doing or taking something to keep your body healthy and in tune with seasonal changes. Since winter is approaching, it is the perfect time of year to start a reinforcing therapy to store yang (hot) energy in winter to make one strong in spring.

Typically, this is done by eating a herbal paste or dissolving it in hot water and drinking it. The gaofeng is a jelly-like substance made from condensed herbal liquid medicine and other medicinal ingredients, such as honey and brown sugar, and has been used for over 2000 years in traditional Chinese medicine. The paste is kept in earthen jars in a cool place and appears in pharmacies all over China.


Before a prescription is handed out, a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine needs to examine the patient's condition in detail and apply diagnostics. Although not a substitute for conventional medicine, gaofeng can help to strengthen the immune system and help ease chronic conditions such as cardiovascular problems and diabetes.
