Yakammaoto is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formulation containing nine ingredients, including Ephedra sinica, Pinellia ternate, Zingiber officinale, Tussilago farfara, Aster tataricus, Ziziphus jujube, Belamcanda chinensis, Asarum sieboldii, and Schisandra chinensis.

One study showed it had antiviral activity against Coxsackie B4.[1]
