Yin Chen Overview
Yin chen (Artemisia capillaris) is an herb that is native to East Asia and is commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It is also known as "hairy wormwood" or "capillary wormwood," due to the fine, hair-like leaves of the plant.
Yin Chen is purported to have a number of medicinal properties and is used to treat a variety of ailments, including digestive disorders, respiratory infections, and skin conditions. It is also believed to have antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory effects, and is often used to boost the immune system and promote healing. Yin chen is typically consumed as a tea or in a powdered supplement form. Yin Chen is a component of the popular 'Yin-care Herbal Wash' product.
Cabotegravir, Rilpivirine Overview
-
Cabotegravir and rilpivirine injections are used in combination for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in certain adults and children 12 years of age or older weighing at least 77 pounds (35 kg). Cabotegravir is in a class of medications called HIV integrase inhibitors. Rilpivirine is in a class of medications called non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). These medications work by decreasing the amount of HIV in the blood. Although cabotegravir and rilpivirine do not cure HIV, they may decrease your chance of developing acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and HIV-related illnesses such as serious infections or cancer. Receiving these medications along with practicing safer sex and making other life-style changes may decrease the risk of transmitting (spreading) the HIV virus to other people.
