So, now back to the description of the herbal mixture.
Chinese herbal mixture: Weidinger W08 - Warm center
Mixture according to Dr. Georg Weidinger from his book „Die Chinesische Hausapotheke“ (published by Goldmann Verlag), page 434. (Order book online at Amazon).
Note on the product name:
„Warm center“ describes exactly what this recipe does—but it warms more than just your stomach.
W08 ignites the yang fire in your entire lower and middle warmers: spleen, stomach, kidneys, and bladder.
When your inner fire burns weakly, everything becomes cold, slow, and weak—your digestion, bladder function, and abdomen.
W08 brings back the warmth.
WHAT MAKES W08 SPECIAL?
The rare thing: Warms THREE organ systems simultaneously
Most warming recipes focus on one organ.
W08 warms three at once:
Spleen Yang: Strengthens digestive power, stops flatulence and loose stools
Kidney Yang: Controls the bladder, warms the lower back, strengthens the essence
Lung Yang: Supports the distribution of heat and qi throughout the body
It's like lighting a stove that warms the whole house — not just one room.
TCM MEETS MODERN SCIENCE
Main active ingredients
Shan Yao (Dioscorea opposita) — 30%
Main active ingredients: diosgenin, allantoin, polysaccharides
Diosgenin supports hormone balance and has an adaptogenic effect on the adrenal glands. The polysaccharides strengthen the intestinal mucosa and improve nutrient absorption. Studies show a blood sugar-regulating effect and support for kidney function.
TCM effect: Tones spleen, lung, and kidney qi, nourishes yin, and strengthens essence (jing).
Wu Yao (Lindera strychnifolia) — 30%
Main active ingredients: Linderan, Linderol, essential oils
The essential oils have a spasmolytic effect on the smooth muscles of the intestines and bladder. Linderan promotes blood circulation in the lower abdomen and relieves cold pain. Studies have proven its anti-inflammatory effect via COX-2 inhibition.
TCM effect: Warms the kidneys, moves qi, dispels cold, relieves pain in the lower abdomen.
Yi Zhi Ren (Alpinia oxyphylla) — 30%
Main active ingredients: Nootkatone, Yakuchinone A and B, essential oils
Yakuchinones have a strong warming effect and promote blood circulation. Studies have shown that nootkatone has neuroprotective properties. The active ingredients have been proven to strengthen the bladder muscles and reduce the urge to urinate at night.
TCM effect: Warms the spleen and kidneys, strengthens the essence, stops diarrhea, and controls urine and saliva flow.
Zhi Gan Cao (Glycyrrhiza glabra, roasted) — 10%
Main active ingredients: Glycyrrhizin, liquiritin, flavonoids
Glycyrrhizin has anti-inflammatory properties and supports adrenal function. Roasting enhances its warming, tonic effect. As a „harmonizer,“ it improves the absorption and synergy of all other herbs.
TCM effect: Tones spleen qi, harmonizes all herbs, warms the middle, nourishes the heart.
Synergies:
The combination of these four herbs is a classic TCM recipe: Yi Zhi Ren and Wu Yao Provides powerful warmth from below (kidneys, bladder). Shan Yao nourishes and stabilizes the center. Zhi Gan Cao Harmonizes and enhances the effects of all herbs. Together, they ignite the yang fire without overheating.
HOW DOES W08 WORK?
Not superficial warmth — but fire from within.
W08 is not a heat patch.
It warms you from the roots—from your kidneys and your core.
You won't start sweating right away.
But after 2-3 weeks you realize:
- Your stomach feels warmer
- Flatulence and loose stools become less frequent
- You need to go to the bathroom less often at night.
- Period pain becomes milder (if heat helps)
- You feel less cold overall.
APPLICATION & DOSAGE:
Consumption recommendation
2x daily 4-6 tablets (morning and evening)
Duration of use
As a cure: At least 4-6 weeks
For chronic cold/yang deficiency: 3-6 months
For prevention: Daily during the cold season
Best combined with:
- Warm water or ginger tea
- In the morning after breakfast
- In the evening before going to bed
Tip: Useful combinations with other TCM herbal mixtures
- W08 + W20: When you're not just cold, but also feel deeply exhausted and „empty.“ W08 warms your core, while W20 rebuilds your energy reserves.
- W08 + W09: If, in addition to feeling cold, you are also prone to infections and catch every cold going around. W08 warms you from the inside, W09 strengthens your immune system.
- W08 + W24: When stress disrupts your digestion — abdominal cramps or diarrhea when tense. W08 warms the center, W24 relaxes and releases the blockage.

I took the tablets after eating as I have a very sensitive stomach. I tolerated them very well, which was definitely positive. But now that I've finished the cure, I have to say that I haven't noticed any changes at all. The "feeling of weakness" in my back, knee joints and joints in general is still there and has even increased in some cases. And the general feeling of well-being has not changed positively either. I happened to have a complete check-up with my GP at the end of the cure. All the blood values are great, fortunately there is nothing "different" that could explain the symptoms. Conclusion: Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this product and certainly not at this price.

Dear Mrs. Stellon,
Thank you for taking the time to describe your experience in such detail. We are pleased to hear that you tolerated the W08 well - especially with a sensitive stomach this is not a matter of course.
We are sorry that you did not notice any noticeable change during the treatment. In Chinese medicine, the effect depends heavily on the individual pattern - complaints in the back and joints in particular can have different causes (e.g. kidney yang weakness, blood or qi stagnation). W08 is primarily aimed at chronic weaknesses that are characterized by cold and Qi deficiency - however, if another pattern is in the foreground, an adapted combination is usually required. We also expressly recommend taking the TCM herbs over a period of at least 2 months so that they can develop their full effect.
If you wish, we will be happy to take a closer look at your case and help you find out why it didn't work the way you wanted it to. Simply write to us using the contact form or by e-mail.
All the best for you and best wishes
Your team from meine-tcm.com 🌿

Only received W08 very recently and haven't tried it yet; I'm still experimenting with another Chinese formula I'm getting from a local professional. These will take another week and then I will try W08!
