There are numerous Chinese herbal formulas that boost immunity. Many include huang qi (astragalus), ren shen (ginseng), fang feng (saposhnikovia) and other herbs. A good example of a classic immune boosting formula is Jade Windscreen and this formula can easily be ordered on the web. There are other formulas that are even stronger but a visit to an herbalist (me!) would be warranted before a prescription could be given.

Finally, if you do get sick there is a Chinese herbal formula called Virugo Max you can get from a company called Dragon Herbs (I also have it here at my office). It is an excellent herbal formula for getting you through the acute stages of a cold or flu.

So stay safe, grab some mushrooms and think about taking some immune boosting herbs for future health.
