BaseCamp Yu Ping Feng San

Griffo’s BaseCamp is built on Yu Ping Feng San (Huang Qi, Bai Zhu, Fang Feng) and then expanded with traditional and modern applications of herbs to support year-round resilience.

Yu Ping Feng San vs. BaseCamp

Classical Yu Ping Feng San (Fortifend)

Core actions: tonifies Lung/Spleen qi, secures the exterior/wei qi for prevention and constitutional support.

BaseCamp (modified Yu Ping Feng San)

Core actions: retains the classical “secure the exterior” function and layers in immune-modulating mushrooms plus select assistants to deepen qi tonification and lung function.

What’s added in BaseCamp—and why

Beyond Huang Qi + Bai Zhu + Fang Feng, BaseCamp includes:

• • Fu Ling (Poria): strengthens Spleen that supports wei qi.
  • Ling Zhi (Reishi): immune modulation with Lung qi support and shen calming.
  • Shiitake, Maitake, Turkey Tail: complementary beta-glucan-rich fungi for broad immune and recovery support.
  • Elderberry: added respiratory and lung support.
  • Wu Wei Zi (Schisandra): astringes Lung qi to help hold the exterior—synergistic with Astragalus.

The result is that BaseCamp functions as a shield—prevention at the surface with internal nourishment and adaptive support for people under duress.

Positioning: when to choose which

Fortifend (classical Yu Ping Feng San): steady constitutional prevention; great for those who “catch every cold” and need surface stabilization.

BaseCamp: all of the above plus modern immune modulation and fluid/respiratory support—ideal for constitutionally depleted, high-stress, frequent-travel, or in-season demands.

BaseCamp Tea: daily, gentle continuity

BaseCamp Tea is the approachable, daily-use offshoot of the tincture. It translates the same concept—Yu Ping Feng San with mushrooms and elderberry—into a smooth, naturally rich brew in biodegradable pyramid bags; intended for immune tone, respiratory comfort, and healthy water metabolism day-to-day.
