Weidinger W09 - Jade windbreak

Chinese herbal mixture: Weidinger W09 - Jade Windbreak

Mixture according to Dr. Georg Weidinger from his book „Die Chinesische Hausapotheke“ (published by Goldmann Verlag), page 444. (Order book online at Amazon).

Note on the product name:

The name „Jade Wind Protection“ (Yu Ping Feng San) is poetry with meaning.
In China, jade symbolizes preciousness and purity. The windbreaker is your Wei-Qi — the protective energy that surrounds your body like invisible armor.
This recipe makes your protective shield strong and impenetrable—like a wall of jade.

WHAT MAKES W09 SPECIAL?

The rare thing: Strengthens the immune system WITHOUT heating

Many „immune boosters“ stimulate the system with hot, stimulating substances.
W09 works differently:

Lung qi: Strengthens the body's defenses on the surface (skin, mucous membranes, respiratory tract)
Spleen qi: Nourishes the root of the immune system — because 70% of the body's defenses are located in the gut
Wei-Qi: Strengthens your energy shield so that pathogenic factors cannot penetrate it

It's like repairing a fortress BEFORE the enemy attacks.

TCM MEETS MODERN SCIENCE

Main active ingredients

 

Huang Qi (Astragalus membranaceus) — 40%
Main active ingredients: Astragaloside IV (0.5–2%), polysaccharides (15–25%)

 

Astragalosides activate T-cell production and strengthen innate immune defenses via the TLR4 signaling pathway. The polysaccharides have been shown to increase the activity of macrophages and natural killer cells. Studies show a significant increase in interferon production.

 

TCM effect: Tones lung and spleen qi, lifts qi, strengthens the surface, stops spontaneous sweating.

 

Bai Zhu (Atractylodes macrocephala) — 30%
Main active ingredients: Atractylenolides I, II, III (0.3–1.5%)

 

Atractylenolides have an immunomodulatory effect by regulating Th1/Th2 cytokines. They strengthen the intestinal barrier and improve nutrient absorption. Studies have demonstrated an anti-inflammatory effect through inhibition of NF-κB and promotion of digestive enzymes.

 

TCM effect: Tones spleen qi, dries dampness, strengthens the middle, stops diarrhea.

 

Fang Feng (Saposhnikovia divaricata) — 30%
Main active ingredients: Chromones (cimifugin, prim-O-glucosylcimifugin), coumarins

 

Chromones have an anti-allergic effect by inhibiting histamine release and an anti-inflammatory effect via COX-2 inhibition. Studies show a pain-relieving effect and modulation of the immune response in autoimmune processes.

 

TCM effect: Relieves wind, loosens the surface, alleviates pain, stops cramps.

 

Synergies:
The combination of these three herbs is a masterpiece of TCM recipe theory. Huang Qi strengthens the qi and closes the pores. Bai Zhu nourishes the center and gives substance to the qi. Fang Feng dispels wind that has already penetrated. Together, they form a triple protection: build up — stabilize — defend.

HOW DOES W09 WORK?

Don't just treat the symptoms — build up protection from within.
W09 is not a „fire brigade“ for acute colds.
It's your preparation — your training for the immune system.
You won't feel anything right away.

But after 2–4 weeks, you'll notice:

• You sweat less during minor exertion.
• You won't feel cold so quickly anymore.
• Infections pass you by — or are milder
• Your digestion will become more stable
• You have more basic energy throughout the day.

 

APPLICATION & DOSAGE:

Consumption recommendation

2x daily 4-6 tablets (morning and evening)

Duration of use

For prevention: From September/October daily until the end of the cold season
If susceptible to infection: 2–3 months as a cure
For chronic fatigue with immune deficiency: 3-6 months

Best combined with:

• Warm water or light ginger tea
• In the morning after breakfast
• In the evening before going to bed

 

Important: W09 is intended for prevention. In case of acute cold with fever or sore throat, PLEASE pause and W08 (Warm Center) use.

 

Tip: Useful combinations with other TCM herbal mixtures

• W09 + W08: If you are not only susceptible to infections, but also constantly feel cold and have a cold stomach. W09 protects your immune system, W08 warms you from the inside.
• W09 + W14: If, in addition to being susceptible to infections, you feel chronically tired and weak. Together, they strengthen your spleen and lung qi from the ground up.
• W09 + W23: When stress weakens your immune system — you always get sick when things get hectic. W09 strengthens your defenses, W23 relieves tension.
