acupuncturist and was told that it is *the* formula for colds after the first

stage if you haven't gotten to them early enough. Anyone know what's

in this and where to get it?

this formula is only for external cold that is already transforming into

heat. In China this formula is pre-packaged in little bags: with sugar

added: 12g per bag - sometimes wihtout sugar: 6g per bag. Normal

people can take the formula with the sugar, 1 bag at a time, 2x / day

People with diabetes can take the formula without the sugar, also 1 bag

/time, 2x/ day. Contraindicated for people w vacuity symptoms

(especially vacuity sweat); people with spleen vacuity should follow

doctor's instructions. Don't know if it's available outside of Asia though.

Google? best wishes, Tom.

Shenyang 110016, PRC. Abstract A GC-MS method was developed for

identification and determination of menthol in three traditional Chinese

medicinal herbs and their compound formulation, a granule for treating

colds. Volatile oil was simultaneously distilled and extracted into ethyl

ether in a unique glass extractor. The separation was performed on an

HP-5 MS column. The standard addition method was used for

quantitative determination of menthol content in herbal materials and in

the granule. A component in the samples was chosen as the internal

standard. The contents were calculated with the ratio of peak area

percentage. Menthol was identified as the main component in Mentha

haplocalyx Briq., and also existed in spikes of Schizonepeta tenuifolia

Briq., Folium perilla frutescens (L.) Britt. and granules. The quantitative

calibration range was 0.21-10.5 mg/mL. Good precision was

demonstrated by an RSD < 4.0%. The mean content of menthol in

Mentha haplocalyx Briq., spikes of Schizonepeta tenuifolia Briq., Folium

perilla frutescens (L.) Britt. and granules was 121, 0.234, 1.03 and 1.84

mg/kg respectively. 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
