IN RESPONSE:
We appreciate the comments from Drs. Wang, Li, and Yuan on our article. We agree that standardization is essential for the use of Chinese herbal medicine not only in China but also in the West.
Yinqiaosan was first reported in 1789 by Dr. Ju-Tong Wu in an ancient Chinese medicine book, Wen Bing Tiao Bian. After publication, the original composition of yinqiaosan has been modified by many Chinese medicine practitioners according to different kinds of acute respiratory infections. In China, termination of the modified formula of yinqiaosan was not changed. It is true that the maxingshigan–yinqiaosan formulation, comprising 12 Chinese herbal medicines, in our study was not the same as that recorded in Wen Bing Tiao Bian.
