Classical Pearls Yin Qiao San - 90 Capsules
Yin Qiao San by Classical Pearls is a Ming Dynasty remedy for acute upper respiratory infections. First appearing in its standardized form more than 200 years ago in Wu Jutong’s epidemiology handbook, Systematic Differentiation of Warm Diseases (Wenbing tiaobian), it is one of the most frequently prescribed TCM remedies worldwide due to the ineffectiveness of antibiotics in cases of viral infection and the trend toward natural healing methods.
Three vital points should be noted for the appropriate use of Yin Qiao San:
1) There should be clear signs of wind heat. If a patient exhibits primary symptoms of wind cold (i.e., fever with strong aversion to cold temperatures), this formula should not be prescribed.
2) Yin Qiao San should not be prescribed (at least not without modification) for patients with a thick tongue coating or other clear signs of dampness.
3) The volatile aromatic components of the herbs need to be captured in the extraction for the remedy to be effective.
Classical Pearls are formulated according to the principles of classical alchemy by Heiner Fruehauf, Ph.D. They contain no pharmaceuticals, preservatives, dyes, yeasts, or added sugars and are independently tested for purity, identity, and the concentration of active ingredients during procurement, manufacturing, and importing.

Philosophy
Classical Pearls operates under several guiding principles:
Integrity in Sourcing and Preparation
As an ingredient-driven company, Classical Pearls has dedicated years of research to sourcing and manufacturing herbs for their formulas. This process includes selecting the appropriate locale (terroir), traditional growing and harvesting methods, and precise processing techniques rooted in classical medical practices.
Purity, Quality, and Potency
The formulas and raw materials used by Classical Pearls are free from pharmaceuticals, dyes, yeasts, and added sugars. All ingredients undergo independent testing in a U.S. laboratory for heavy metals, pesticides, and microbes. Each batch is tested three times during production to ensure purity, identity, and concentration of active ingredients. These strict procedures ensure the safety and potency of all products, with testing taking place in China before and after processing, and again upon arrival in the U.S. This rigorous approach to quality control contributes to the positive clinical outcomes that practitioners aim to achieve.
Relationships and Stewardship
Classical Pearls champions directly traded ingredients, maintaining strong relationships with small farmers, wild crafters, and herb distributors in China and Asia who share the company’s commitment to high-quality medicinal ingredients and environmental stewardship.
Commitment to the Clinical Roots of Chinese Medicine
Classical Pearls is part of an international movement seeking to honor and restore the classical origins of Chinese medicine. As a highly sophisticated science and deeply spiritual art form, Chinese medicine relies on simple, foundational principles that are often overlooked in modern TCM education. Through its formulas and educational initiatives, Classical Pearls strives to preserve the clinical power and efficacy of Chinese herbal medicine.
Based on over three decades of clinical experience, Classical Pearls selects, combines, and modifies tightly structured classical formulas to address contemporary diseases. The company hopes that practitioners will enhance their clinical efficacy and gain a deeper understanding of the time-honored alchemical wisdom that is slowly being forgotten.
