008 GUI ZHI TANG WAN – Cinnamon Blend

Herbal formula according to Traditional Chinese Medicine

This classical herbal formula is based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is one of the oldest recorded prescriptions, dating back to the Han dynasty.

In TCM terminology, it is traditionally associated with harmonizing the relationship between defensive Qi (Wei Qi) and nutritive Qi (Ying Qi), supporting the body’s ability to respond to external influences while maintaining internal balance.

The formula contains a combination of herbs traditionally described in classical texts as supporting natural resilience and harmonizing the body’s response in the early stages of imbalance.

Specific health effects cannot be claimed according to European Union legislation.

Characteristics according to TCM

This formula is primarily associated with:

• harmonizing defensive and nutritive Qi
• supporting the body’s natural response to external influences
• releasing the superficial layer
• regulating sweating and physiological responses

Traditional composition and formula principles

The formula originates from the classical text Shang Han Lun (3rd century AD) and is designed as a harmonizing prescription:

• Gui Zhi 桂枝 supports the release of the exterior and harmonizes defensive Qi
• Bai Shao 白芍 nourishes blood and harmonizes the internal aspect
• Sheng Jiang 生姜 supports stomach harmony and surface regulation
• Da Zao 大枣 tonifies Qi and supports the middle
• Gan Cao 甘草 harmonizes the action of the formula

This combination reflects a principle of gentle harmonization between the internal and external environment of the body.

In modern formulations, some ingredients may be adapted in accordance with EU legislation.

Traditional use

In TCM terminology, this formula is used in patterns described as early-stage external wind invasion with disharmony between defensive and nutritive Qi.

These conditions may traditionally be associated with:

• mild chills or sensitivity to cold
• slight elevation of temperature
• sweating without relief
• early-stage respiratory discomfort

These concepts are based on the diagnostic system of TCM and do not represent modern medical diagnoses.
