“Gao Fang” (medicinal paste) is a type of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) paste primarily used for health maintenance and wellness, also known as “Gao Zi”. This oral paste is formulated by experienced TCM professionals based on the individual’s constitution, adhering to the holistic view and pattern differentiation treatment principles of TCM. It involves selecting single or multiple herbs for a rational combination, processed through strict specific techniques, mainly used for nourishing the body, anti-aging, and disease prevention and regulation.
01
『What are the characteristics and advantages of Gao Fang?』
The texture of Gao Fang is smooth and delicate, with a pleasant taste and high drug concentration, making it suitable for long-term use. This allows for effective absorption of the medicine, maximizing its efficacy. Additionally, Gao Fang is small in volume, easy to carry, and does not require decoction, avoiding the hassle of preparing herbal soups.
Personalized “Three Differentiations and Three Adjustments”: Through TCM experts assessing sub-health and chronic disease populations, the principles of “differentiating syndrome, differentiating disease, and differentiating constitution” are combined to clarify individual characteristics such as yin-yang, deficiency-excess, and cold-heat, employing the “adjusting treatment, adjusting nourishment, and adjusting regulation” methods to prescribe Gao Fang, achieving the goal of “treatment” for chronic patients and “nourishment” for those with deficiency and sub-health.
Personalized formula preparation: The preparation of Gao Fang follows the principle of “one person, one formula; one formula, one pot; one pot, one verification; one verification, one record”, overcoming the shortcomings of standardized Chinese patent medicines and truly realizing personalized formula preparation.

『What are the functions and effects of Gao Fang?』
Replenishing Deficiency and Supporting Weakness
For those with insufficient qi and blood, organ deficiency, weak constitution, or experiencing weakness symptoms during recovery from surgery, childbirth, or severe chronic diseases, Gao Fang can effectively promote recovery, enhance physical strength, and improve quality of life.
Anti-Aging and Longevity
For elderly individuals with declining qi and blood, low energy, and diminished organ function, taking Gao Zi during all seasons can help combat aging. Middle-aged individuals may experience symptoms such as dizziness, lower back pain, fatigue, palpitations, insomnia, and memory decline due to the gradual decline of organ functions with age; taking Gao Fang can improve these symptoms.
Correcting Sub-Health Status
Gao Fang is particularly effective in regulating yin-yang balance and correcting sub-health status, helping the body return to optimal condition. In fast-paced, high-pressure environments, many young people experience sub-health symptoms such as dizziness, lower back pain, fatigue, and premature graying due to energy depletion; Gao Fang can help restore their normal state.
Preventing and Treating Diseases
Gao Fang prescribed for different patient conditions can prevent and treat diseases, especially for cancer patients in recovery or those with low immunity prone to recurrent colds. Taking supportive Gao Fang in winter can not only enhance immune function but also store abundant nutrients in the body, aiding in preventing recurrence, metastasis, and colds, and enhancing resistance.
03
『What issues should be noted before taking Gao Fang?』
1. Gao Fang is not suitable for everyone and should be determined by a professional TCM expert after diagnosis;
2. The price of Gao Fang does not determine its quality; the key is “customization”, which means understanding the constitution and treating accordingly;
3. During the period of taking Gao Fang, avoid consuming raw, cold, greasy, spicy, fried, or pickled foods to prevent excessive burden on the gastrointestinal tract and affect absorption;
4. Gao Fang is a personalized medicine; it is crucial that one formula is not taken by the entire family. Different individuals have different constitutions and medical histories, which may lead to adverse health effects instead of benefits;
5. If the following conditions occur, stop taking it: acute symptoms such as cold, fever, cough with phlegm, diarrhea, or exacerbation of chronic diseases; gastrointestinal discomfort such as loss of appetite or bloating; any allergic reactions during use; excessive menstrual flow in women; pregnancy; or any symptoms significantly different from those prescribed by the doctor.

『Who are the suitable groups for Gao Fang?？
1. Patients with various chronic diseases
Those with chronic diseases can combine their symptoms with Gao Fang during the winter season, which aids in treatment and recovery. Clinically, TCM is used to prepare Gao Fang for common chronic diseases during remission, achieving the goal of “treating the root while alleviating symptoms”, reducing the frequency of attacks and the intensity of symptoms during episodes.
2. Elderly individuals Due to physiological characteristics, various bodily functions decline with age, and winter supplementation can enhance physical strength and delay aging.
3. Women For women, the spleen and stomach govern overall vitality. Weakness in these organs can lead to insufficient vitality, causing aging. If the spleen and stomach can absorb nutrients from food, nourishing all organs and skin, normal functioning of these organs will continuously replenish nutrition, enhancing anti-aging ability and vitality, resulting in a rosy complexion and skin full of luster and elasticity.
4. Children Children can appropriately supplement according to their growth needs, especially those with recurrent respiratory infections, persistent cough, loss of appetite, or anemia, who are suitable for nourishment.
5. Sub-healthy individuals In modern society, young people face significant work and life pressures (mainly mental stress and cognitive depletion), along with numerous social engagements, excessive smoking and drinking, and chronic lack of sleep and rest, leading to significant changes in normal physiological functions and decreased resistance, resulting in a sub-healthy state. Comprehensive and holistic regulation is needed, and Gao Fang therapy is the best choice.
