What is a Wei-Qi deficiency?
When your defenses weaken and you become vulnerable
The TCM perspective: The guardian at the body's surface
In traditional Chinese medicine, Wei Qi—the defensive Qi—is your invisible protective shield. It circulates on the surface of the body, directly beneath the skin, and forms the first line of defense against external pathogenic factors such as wind, cold, and dampness.
Wei-Qi has three main functions: it protects the body from external pathogens, regulates the opening and closing of the pores and thus controls perspiration, and warms the skin and muscles.
Wei-qi is distributed by the lungs but produced by the spleen and stomach. Therefore, a deficiency of wei-qi is often closely linked to a deficiency of lung-qi or spleen-qi. If the lungs can no longer properly bring wei-qi to the surface of the body, the body loses its protection.
The consequence of a Wei-Qi deficiency: The body surface is no longer adequately protected. External pathogenic factors easily penetrate, the pores do not close properly, and spontaneous sweating occurs—especially with the slightest exertion or for no apparent reason.
The typical signs of a Wei-Qi deficiency:
- Frequent colds and infections, slow recovery
- Spontaneous sweating, especially during the day and during light activity
- Sensitivity to wind and drafts
- Slight chills and sensitivity to cold
- Pale complexion and dull skin
- Chronic fatigue and lack of energy
- Tendency to have allergic reactions
The good news: Wei-Qi can be strengthened in a targeted manner. With the classic Yu Ping Feng San (Jade Wind Protection Powder) formula, immune-boosting foods such as astragalus and shiitake, and Qi Gong exercises such as „drawing the bow,“ you can rebuild your defensive Qi and regain your natural resistance.
The Western perspective: The innate immune system and the skin barrier
From a Western perspective, Wei-Qi deficiency corresponds to a weakness of the innate immune system and the skin barrier. The skin and mucous membranes are our first line of physical defense—they prevent pathogens from entering the body.
Imagine your immune system as a fortress with several layers of defense: the outer wall is your skin with its protective acid mantle and beneficial bacteria. Behind it are the mucous membranes with their IgA antibodies. A Wei Qi deficiency means that this outer defense has become permeable.
One aspect that is often overlooked is the connection between the immune system and the autonomic nervous system. Chronic stress puts the body in a permanent state of alert—the immune system is suppressed, susceptibility to infections increases, and even small changes in temperature become a burden.
What does modern medicine show?
- Weakened mucosal immunity: Reduced IgA antibodies in saliva and respiratory tract
- Dysregulation of sweat production: Impaired autonomic control of the sweat glands
- Reduced thermoregulation: The body adapts less well to temperature changes.
- Vitamin D deficiency: Closely linked to increased susceptibility to infection
- Adrenal fatigue: Chronic stress leads to reduced stress tolerance
- Intestinal dysbiosis: 70% of the immune system is located in the gut — an imbalance weakens the body's defenses.
Modern research confirms: Adaptogenic herbs such as astragalus can strengthen the immune system and reduce susceptibility to infections. Regular exercise in the fresh air, alternating hot and cold showers, and sufficient sleep are also important for a strong immune system.
TCM treatment for Wei Qi deficiency addresses precisely this issue: it strengthens the body's external defenses, regulates sweating, and makes the body resistant to external influences—gently, naturally, and sustainably.
The Yellow Emperor team explains your diagnosis
The Yellow Emperor | Qi Bo | Dr. Lisa Weber
Founder of TCM | Master of Healing Arts | Modern Physician
What happens when the legendary Yellow Emperor from TCM sits down with his advisor Qi Bo and a modern doctor? They explain YOUR diagnosis—using 4,000 years of knowledge AND the latest science.
Wei-Qi deficiency — When the body's protective shield weakens
The Yellow Emperor: „Qi Bo, in my kingdom I observe people who are constantly cold, who get sick at the slightest breeze, and whose pores open uncontrollably. The slightest wind seems to harm them. What is the cause of this affliction?“
Qi Bo: „Your Majesty, these people suffer from a deficiency of Wei Qi—the defensive Qi. Wei Qi is the body's protective shield. It circulates on the surface, between the skin and muscles, and protects us like invisible armor against external invaders. It controls the opening and closing of the pores, regulates body temperature, and keeps pathogenic factors such as wind, cold, and moisture at bay. When this protective qi is weak, the body is as exposed as a city without walls.“
Dr. Weber: „That's a wonderful metaphor! In modern immunology, we would say: The body's first line of defense—the innate immune system—is disrupted. The skin and mucous membranes form our physical barrier. In addition, there are antimicrobial peptides, immune cells in the skin such as Langerhans cells, and the microbiome. If these systems do not function optimally, pathogens can penetrate more easily. We explain spontaneous sweating as a dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system.“
The Yellow Emperor: „Where does this Wei-Qi originate?“
Qi Bo: „Wei-Qi is generated in the lower warmer from the essence of food and is distributed to the body's surface by the lungs. The lungs are like a commander who sends out the protective troops. Therefore, Wei-Qi deficiency often also disrupts Lung-Qi. But the true origin lies deeper — Kidney-Yang provides the warmth and strength that drives Wei-Qi. And the spleen provides the nourishing foundation.“
Dr. Weber: „Fascinating! This corresponds with our understanding that the immune system depends on many organ systems. The intestine—associated with the spleen and lower warmer in TCM—is home to about 70 percent of our immune cells. The adrenal glands produce cortisol, which modulates the immune response. And the respiratory tract, with its mucosal immune system, is actually our first line of defense.“
The Yellow Emperor: „What causes weakness of Wei-Qi?“
Qi Bo: „There are many causes, Your Majesty. First: chronic exhaustion and overwork—they consume qi faster than it can be replenished. Second: repeated colds that never fully heal—each infection further weakens the Wei-Qi. Thirdly: lack of outdoor exercise — the Wei-Qi must be trained. Fourthly: a cold, raw diet — it weakens the spleen and thus Qi production. And fifthly: constitutional weakness from birth or due to long illness.“
Dr. Weber: „This is consistent with modern findings! Chronic stress increases cortisol levels, which suppresses immune function in the long term. Lack of exercise reduces the circulation of immune cells. An unbalanced diet disrupts the gut microbiome — and thus the immune system. And indeed, there are genetic variants that influence the innate immune system. The link between unresolved infections and immune dysregulation is also well documented.“
The Yellow Emperor: „What signs indicate a deficiency of Wei Qi?“
Qi Bo: „The signs are clear, Your Majesty. The affected person exhibits: spontaneous sweating at the slightest exertion or even at rest. Strong sensitivity to wind and drafts. Frequent colds that recur easily. A pale face without luster. Fatigue and shortness of breath. Often a soft voice. The tongue is pale, possibly slightly swollen with a thin white coating. The pulse is weak and superficial—it is close to the surface but has no strength.“
Dr. Weber: „This constellation of symptoms is clinically very interesting! The spontaneous sweating indicates an autonomic imbalance. The susceptibility to infection indicates an immune deficiency - we often see low IgA values or reduced NK cell activity (natural killer cells). The pallor may indicate a slight anemia or circulatory disorder. In the laboratory, we sometimes find vitamin D deficiency, zinc deficiency or low ferritin levels - all important for immune function.“
The Yellow Emperor: „How does Wei-Qi deficiency differ from Lung-Qi deficiency?“
Qi Bo: „An important question, Your Majesty! Lung qi deficiency primarily affects respiratory function—shortness of breath and a weak voice are the main symptoms. Wei qi deficiency affects the entire immune system—the main symptoms here are susceptibility to infection, spontaneous sweating, and sensitivity to wind. Of course, the two often overlap, because the lungs distribute the wei qi. But the treatment focuses are different.“
Dr. Weber: „From a clinical perspective: In cases of purely pulmonary problems, we see more respiratory symptoms. In cases of Wei-Qi deficiency, systemic immune deficiency is the primary concern—frequent infections of various kinds, not just respiratory infections. This is an important diagnostic difference!“
The Yellow Emperor: „Now let's talk about treatment. How can the Wei-Qi be strengthened?“
Qi Bo: „Majesty, the treatment principle is: Bu Wei Qi Gu Biao - tonify the Wei-Qi and strengthen the surface. This is done in several ways: firstly, through outdoor exercise - the Wei-Qi must come into contact with the outside world in order to become stronger. Secondly, through immune-boosting foods: Astragalus tea is the king herb for Wei-Qi, shiitake mushrooms nourish the defenses, ginger and garlic warm and protect. Thirdly, through acupressure on important points: Stomach 36 strengthens the entire Qi, Lung 09 supports the distribution of Wei-Qi. And fourthly: Qi Gong exercises such as „drawing the bow“, which strengthen the lungs and the immune system.“
Dr. Weber: „Excellent strategies! Astragalus — Huang Qi — has been shown in studies to have immunomodulatory effects, activating macrophages and promoting antibody production. Shiitake mushrooms contain beta-glucans, which stimulate the immune system. Outdoor exercise — especially in the forest — reduces stress hormones and activates NK cells. And acupressure on Stomach 36 has actually been shown to have immune-stimulating effects in studies!“
The Yellow Emperor: „What about the famous Yu Ping Feng San — the Jade Wind Protection Powder?“
Qi Bo: „Ah, Your Majesty knows the classic recipes! Yu Ping Feng San is the queen of Wei-Qi strengthening formulas. It contains only three herbs: Huang Qi — Astragalus — as the main herb strengthens the Wei-Qi. Bai Zhu — Atractylodes — strengthens the spleen and thus Qi production. And Fang Feng — Ledebouriella — strengthens the surface and wards off wind. These three work together like a wall, a watchtower, and a soldier.“
Dr. Weber: „Yu Ping Feng San has actually been studied in clinical trials! It has prebiotic effects on the gut microbiome and can reduce the frequency of respiratory infections. The combination has an immunomodulatory effect—it strengthens a weak immune system without promoting an excessive immune response. That's the difference between this and pure immunostimulants!“
The Yellow Emperor: „Wonderful! Let's turn this wisdom into a practical plan.“
THE 3-WISE METHOD FOR WEI-QI DEFICIENCY
MORNING PROTOCOL (Activate Wei-Qi):
- TCM: Warm breakfast — never start the day sober and cold
- Science: A warm breakfast activates the metabolism and supports the morning release of cortisol.
- Practical: Oatmeal with cinnamon and steamed apple, or warm rice soup with spring onions
- TCM: Astragalus tea to strengthen Wei Qi
- Science: Astragalus contains polysaccharides that activate macrophages and promote antibody production.
- Practical: Simmer 5–10 g of astragalus root in 500 ml of water for 15 minutes, drink one cup in the morning.
- TCM: Qi Gong exercise „Drawing the Bow“ — opens the lungs and strengthens the Wei Qi
- Science: Deep breathing during exercise activates the lymphatic system and promotes immune cell circulation.
- Practical: Do the exercise for 5-10 minutes, consciously breathing deeply, preferably at an open window
TAGS STRATEGY (nourish and train Wei-Qi):
- TCM: Outdoor exercise — Wei-Qi must come into contact with the outside world
- Science: Exercise in the fresh air activates NK cells and reduces stress hormones.
- Practical: 20–30 min. walk in the park or forest, even in light wind (dress warmly!)
- TCM: Acupressure on Stomach 36 (Zusanli) — the „master point“ for qi and defense
- Science: Stimulation of Ma 36 shows immunomodulatory effects in studies
- Practical: Four finger widths below the kneecap, one finger width beside the edge of the shinbone. Press or tap firmly for 3 minutes on each side.
- TCM: Incorporate shiitake mushrooms and garlic into your meals
- Science: Shiitake mushrooms contain beta-glucans, garlic has antimicrobial properties
- Practical: Add shiitake mushrooms to soups or stir-fries, eat 1–2 cloves of garlic (cooked) daily.
EVENING RITUAL (regenerate Wei-Qi):
- TCM: Warm soup for dinner — nourishes the spleen and Wei-Qi
- Science: Warm liquids promote blood circulation and support nighttime regeneration.
- Practical: Chicken broth with ginger, spring onions, and vegetables, or miso soup with tofu
- TCM: Acupressure on lung 09 (Taiyuan) - strengthens lung and Wei-Qi distribution
- Science: Stimulation of the wrist has a positive effect on the autonomic nervous system.
- Practical: On the wrist crease, under the thumb in the hollow. Massage gently in a circular motion for 2 minutes on each side.
- TCM: Keep warm — cover your neck, lower back, and feet
- Science: Heat promotes blood circulation and supports immune function.
- Practical: Wear socks, warm the kidney area with a hot water bottle, avoid drafts when sleeping
The Yellow Emperor: „Qi Bo, how long will it take for the Wei-Qi to regain its strength?“
Qi Bo: „Your Majesty, Wei-Qi is like an army that needs to be reorganized—this takes time and consistency. After 2–3 weeks of consistent practice, most people notice that spontaneous sweating decreases and they feel less cold. After 6–8 weeks, colds become significantly less frequent and milder. After 3–4 months, the Wei-Qi is noticeably strengthened — the body is more resistant to wind, weather, and pathogens. Especially important: in autumn, when the metal element prevails, one should take special care of the Wei-Qi.“
Dr. Weber: „This corresponds to our clinical experience! Building up a robust immune function takes time—about 2–3 months for measurable improvements. Regenerating the gut microbiome, which hosts 70 percent of the immune system, takes a similar amount of time. And the reference to fall makes medical sense: that's when cold season begins, and preventive measures are particularly valuable!“
The Yellow Emperor: „Are there things that should be avoided at all costs?“
Qi Bo: „Yes, Your Majesty! First: Cold drinks and raw foods—they weaken the spleen and thus Qi production. Second: Drafts and air conditioning—they directly attack the weakened Wei Qi. Thirdly: overexertion — it consumes precious qi. Fourthly: too little sleep — the Wei qi regenerates internally at night. And fifthly: suppressing sweating during exercise — the Wei qi must be able to move.“
Dr. Weber: „All scientifically comprehensible! Cold food requires more digestive energy. Draughts can actually weaken the local immune system. Overtraining measurably suppresses the immune system. And a lack of sleep dramatically reduces the production of immune cells - just one night with less than six hours of sleep halves the activity of natural killer cells (NK cells)!“
The Yellow Emperor: „Then the message is clear: Wei-Qi is our protective shield against the harshness of the world. With warm food, targeted exercise, immune-boosting herbs, and sufficient rest, we can rebuild this protection.“
Qi Bo: [smiles] „That's right, Your Majesty. Wei-Qi is the faithful guardian who never sleeps. When we nourish and strengthen it, it protects us like invisible armor — and we can face the winds of life with confidence.“
About our „3 Wise Men“ story
Who are the Yellow Emperor and Qi Bo?
The Yellow Emperor (Huangdi) is said to have lived around 2600 BC and is considered the mythical founder of Chinese culture and medicine. Qi Bo was his most important advisor and personal physician. Their discussions about health, illness, and human nature were recorded in the most important fundamental work of TCM.
The book: Huangdi Neijing
The Huangdi Neijing, also known as The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, was probably written between 200 BC and 200 AD. It is the oldest surviving work on Chinese medicine and consists of dialogues between the Yellow Emperor and his advisors, mainly Qi Bo.
This work is to TCM what the Bible is to Christianity: the absolute foundation. All important concepts—yin and yang, the five elements, qi, meridians, and acupuncture points—are described systematically here for the first time.
Our modern approach: The 3 wise men
In our series „The Three Sages,“ we bring together the Yellow Emperor and Qi Bo with the fictional modern doctor and microbiologist Dr. Weber.
Important note: All three characters and their conversations are purely fictitious and invented by us.
We use this narrative form, similar to the dialogue form in the book Huangdi Neijing, to convey the often complex interrelationships of TCM in an understandable and entertaining way. When the 4,000-year-old emperor is confronted with modern science, enlightening „aha moments“ arise that show that ancient wisdom and new research often speak the same language—just in different words.
This makes TCM lively, understandable and practically applicable for your everyday life.
The dialogues are creative interpretations—not historical documents. For medical questions, please consult a qualified TCM therapist or doctor.
Your treatment options
A Wei-Qi deficiency is very treatable! TCM offers you a variety of effective methods to rebuild your defensive qi and your resistance. You don't have to do everything at once — choose the methods that suit you and your everyday life.
Here you will find specific treatment approaches that have been proven effective in TCM for thousands of years and that you can largely apply yourself.
TCM herbal therapy
TCM herbs are the basis every classic TCM treatment. The carefully compiled mixtures have a synergistic effect — this means that the individual herbs reinforce each other's effects and balance out any possible side effects.
What modern medicine is only just discovering—the power of plant substances—has been used successfully by TCM for over 2,500 years.

Explanation of the most important herbs
emperor Huang Qi (Tragacanth) — Der Schutzschild
Huang Qi ist der mächtigste Qi–Toniker der Oberfläche. Es hebt das Yang–Qi, festigt die äußere Abwehr und stillt spontanes Schwitzen — das Zeichen eines löchrigen Schutzschilds. Mit 60 % bildet es das unangefochtene Fundament dieser Formel. Astragalus zählt zu den am besten untersuchten immunmodulierenden Heilpflanzen.
minister Bai Zhu (Atractylodes) — The spleen tonic
Bai Zhu stärkt die Milz und trocknet Feuchtigkeit — es ist die Basis, auf der das Qi entsteht. Ohne eine starke Mitte kann kein Wei–Qi gebildet werden; Bai Zhu sorgt dafür, dass der Nachschub nicht versiegt. Atractylenolide zeigen in Untersuchungen entzündungshemmende Eigenschaften.
assistant Fang Feng (Windschutzwurzel) — Der Wächter
Fang Feng — die Windschutzwurzel — vertreibt Wind aus der Oberfläche. In dieser Formel hat es eine doppelte Rolle: Es patrouilliert an der Körperoberfläche, fängt eindringende Wind–Pathogene ab und leitet sie aus, bevor sie Schaden anrichten — das gestärkte Qi gibt ihm die Kraft dazu. Cimifugin und verwandte Chromone zeigen in Untersuchungen entzündungshemmende Eigenschaften; einzelne Arbeiten deuten auf eine modulierende Wirkung bei allergischen Reaktionen hin.

Warum BS+ bei Wei–Qi Mangel?
In der TCM wird das Wei–Qi — deine Abwehrenergie — von der Milz und der Lunge gebildet. Die Milz gewinnt das Nahrungs–Qi aus der Verdauung, die Lunge verteilt es an die Körperoberfläche. Moderne Forschung bestätigt diese Verbindung: Rund 80 % des Immunsystems sitzen im Darm. Wenn die Darmflora aus dem Gleichgewicht gerät, wird die Milz–Funktion geschwächt und es steht weniger Qi zur Verfügung, um das Wei–Qi aufzubauen. Ein gesunder Darm ist daher die wichtigste Grundlage für eine starke Abwehrkraft.
BS+ delivers 11 prebiotic fibers und unterstützt so gezielt den Aufbau einer vielfältigen Darmflora. Eine gut genährte Darmflora stärkt die Milz als Quelle des Nahrungs–Qi, unterstützt die Immunzellen im Darm und schafft damit die Basis, auf der Milz und Lunge dein Wei–Qi wieder kraftvoll aufbauen können — für eine starke, natürliche Abwehr.
Besonders wichtig bei Wei–Qi Mangel:
- Stärkt die Milz–Funktion als Wurzel des Wei–Qi, damit aus der Nahrung wieder ausreichend Abwehrenergie gebildet werden kann
- Nährt die Immunzellen im Darm — dort wo 80 % deiner Abwehrkraft entsteht — und unterstützt so die Bildung des Wei–Qi an der Körperoberfläche
- Fördert eine gesunde Verdauung, damit immunstärkende Lebensmittel wie Astragalus, Shiitake–Pilze und Ingwer ihre volle Wirkung entfalten können

Qi Gong
Qi Gong is moving meditation — Gentle, flowing exercises that harmonize your energy flow and strengthen your qi. If you have a deficiency of Wei qi, these exercises help to build up your defensive energy, strengthen the surface of your body, and boost your immune system.
Regular practice of qigong (even just 10–15 minutes a day) has been shown to have positive effects on the immune system, resilience, and general well-being.
QI GONG: Exercise 1
Stretching the bow
Strengthens Wei-Qi, opens the chest cavity
Particularly helpful for:
- Frequent colds and infections
- Spontaneous sweating
- sensitivity to cold
- Weakened immune system
Effect:
This classic Ba Duan Jin exercise opens up the chest area and specifically strengthens the Wei Qi on the body's surface. The arm movement activates the lung meridian and promotes the circulation of defensive energy.
QI GONG: Exercise 2
Regulate Qi
Harmonizes the flow of qi, strengthens the immune system
Particularly helpful for:
- Lack of energy and exhaustion
- Restless, shallow breathing
- Weakness after infections
- General immune deficiency
Effect:
This exercise harmonizes the flow of qi throughout the body and supports the regeneration of wei qi. It is perfect for regaining strength after a cold and gently building up the body's defenses.
QI GONG: Exercise 3
Connecting heaven and earth
Activates Wei-Qi, strengthens the surface
Particularly helpful for:
- Susceptibility to wind and cold
- Open pores and sweating
- Fatigue and weakness
- Slow recovery after illness
Effect:
This exercise stretches the entire body and activates the Wei-Qi on the surface. The stretching movement promotes the circulation of defensive energy and helps regulate the pores — a key mechanism in Wei-Qi deficiency.
These Qi Gong exercises are specially selected to strengthen Wei-Qi. They activate the body's surface defenses, support the immune system, and help to properly regulate the pores.
All exercises are particularly effective when practiced between 3 and 5 a.m. — this is the peak time for the lungs in the organ clock. However, the time between 5 and 7 a.m. (large intestine time) is also ideal, as Wei Qi is closely connected to the lungs.
QI GONG:
When and how often?
In the morning (ideal):
- All 3 exercises as a sequence: approx. 15–20 min.
- Or just 1–2 exercises: approx. 5–10 min.
- Preferably between 5 and 7 a.m. (colon time) or early in the morning
In between:
- Individual exercises as needed (e.g., if feeling cold or weak)
- „Den Bogen spannen“ für schnelle Aktivierung des Wei–Qi
Regularity is more important than duration:
- It is better to exercise for 10 minutes every day than for 60 minutes once a week.
- After 2–3 weeks, you will notice the first changes.
- After 3 months of regular practice: significantly stronger Wei-Qi
Pro tip: Practice qigong outdoors in the fresh air, but protected from the wind. Wei qi is particularly strengthened by gentle movement in nature—but avoid drafts and strong winds, as these can easily penetrate when there is a deficiency of wei qi.

More about Qi Gong LiveMeridian Yoga — The Yoga of TCM
Meridian Yoga combines yoga with traditional Chinese medicine. The result is a holistic exercise concept for better health and more energy.
The following exercises specifically activate the lung meridian and thus strengthen your Wei Qi—your physical defenses.
MERIDIAN YOGA: Exercise 1
Makko Ho for the lung meridian
Stretches the lung and large intestine meridians, opens the chest
Particularly helpful for:
- Frequent colds and infections
- Spontaneous sweating during light exertion
- Sensitivity to cold and feeling cold
- Weakened immune system
Effect:
The classic Makko Ho stretch for the lung meridian opens the chest and simultaneously stretches the lung and large intestine meridians. This exercise strengthens the Wei Qi and improves the defensive function of the lungs.
MERIDIAN YOGA: Exercise 2
The lung stretch
Intensive stretching of the lung meridian, strengthens the immune system
Particularly helpful for:
- Susceptibility to wind and drafts
- Weak skin defense function
- Tension in the shoulders and neck
- Lack of energy and exhaustion
Effect:
This intense stretch activates the entire lung meridian, which runs from the chest to the inside of the arms and up to the thumbs. The stretch releases blockages, promotes the free flow of qi, and strengthens the wei qi on the body's surface.
Both exercises activate the lung meridian, which plays a key role in the distribution of Wei Qi. Stretching strengthens the protective layer on the body's surface.
Particularly effective: Hold each position for 3–5 breaths, breathing deeply into your abdomen.
MERIDIAN YOGA:
When and how often?
Best time:
- Between 3 and 7 a.m. (lung meridian time)
- Or early in the morning after getting up (fresh air!)
Duration:
- Hold each position for 3–5 breaths.
- Complete sequence: 10–15 minutes
- 3–5 times per week for best results
Important:
- Do not practice outdoors in windy or drafty conditions.
- Breathe deeply and evenly during the positions.
- Stretching should be comfortable, never painful.
Pro tip: Combine Meridian Yoga in the morning with Qi Gong — first the flowing Qi Gong movements, then the Meridian Yoga exercises for maximum Wei Qi strengthening.
Nutrition according to TCM
„Let food be your medicine.“ — this principle has been applied in TCM for thousands of years. If you have a Wei-Qi deficiency, proper nutrition is particularly important for strengthening your immune system.

Breathing
Breathing is the bridge between body and mind. In TCM, we say: „The lungs govern qi“ — through conscious breathing, you can directly influence your energy flow, harmonize all organ systems, and activate your self-healing powers.
Studies show: Proper breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system (rest & regeneration), massages the internal organs from within, improves oxygen supply, and reduces stress hormones. The good news: Just 5–10 minutes a day can have a measurable effect on your overall well-being.
Recommended breathing techniques
ABDOMINAL BREATHING — The basis for every breathing technique
Natural breathing
Abdominal breathing is the most natural and effective form of breathing. With every breath, you massage your internal organs, activate the flow of energy, and bring qi to the center of your body (dantian).

relaxation
When your body is relaxed, all organ systems can function optimally. Chronic tension blocks your body's self-healing powers and keeps you in a state of constant stress. Through targeted relaxation techniques, you activate the parasympathetic nervous system and send your body the signal: „Now I can regenerate, heal, and build strength.“
Progressive muscle relaxation is one of the most researched relaxation methods and has been used successfully for over 100 years. It helps you to recognize tension, actively release it, and achieve a state of deep relaxation—whenever you want.
Recommended relaxation technique
PROGRESSIVE MUSCLE RELAXATION (PMR)
The scientifically proven relaxation method
Progressive muscle relaxation according to Jacobson is one of the most widely researched relaxation techniques worldwide. By deliberately tensing and relaxing individual muscle groups, you learn to consciously perceive tension and actively release it.
Proven effect:
Lowers blood pressure, improves sleep, reduces chronic pain, relieves tension, and activates self-healing powers. Successfully used by psychologists to treat anxiety disorders, depression, and chronic pain.

To the guided PMRMeditation
Meditation calms the mind — and a calm mind harmonizes the body. In TCM, we know that every emotion affects a specific organ. Through regular meditation, you learn to break out of destructive thought patterns, find emotional balance, and strengthen your inner core.
Modern studies confirm: Meditation has been proven to change brain structure, reduce stress hormones, strengthen the immune system, and improve self-healing powers. Just 10 minutes a day can change your life forever.

It circulates on the surface, protects against external intruders, and regulates the opening and closing of pores.

More tips for your everyday life
In addition to traditional TCM treatment methods There are many small everyday habits that can strengthen your Wei Qi. In TCM, Wei Qi is your protective shield against external influences—with the right habits, you can effectively build it up and maintain it.
Protection from wind and cold
🧣 Keep your neck and shoulders warm
Wei-Qi protects your body surface — help it do so:
- Always wear a scarf or neckerchief around your neck — especially in windy conditions.
- The „Wind Gate“ (Feng Men) point on the upper back is particularly sensitive.
- Cover your shoulders and upper back, even in summer (air conditioning!).
- Put on dry clothes immediately after sweating.
- Cover your hair in windy conditions — wind penetrates through the head
🏠 Zugluft vermeiden
Wind is the „carrier of 100 diseases“:
- Do not sleep under an open window.
- Do not direct air conditioning directly at the body.
- Dry thoroughly after showering or bathing and keep warm.
- Do not go outside with wet hair.
- Do not point fans directly at the body.
❄️ Avoid the cold
Cold further weakens the Wei-Qi:
- Keep your feet warm — cold feet weaken your immune system
- Cover the kidney and lumbar region
- Do not sit on cold surfaces (stone, metal)
- Prefer warm drinks — no ice-cold drinks
- Use a hot water bottle or warm foot baths in winter
Hardening and exercise in the fresh air
🌳 Regelmäßig an die frische Luft
Wei-Qi is strengthened through contact with nature:
- At least 30 minutes of fresh air every day
- Go outside in any weather — dressed appropriately
- Breathe in the morning at sunrise - the Qi is strongest then
- Prefer forests or parks — „forest bathing“ strengthens the immune system
- Soaking up sunlight — important for the immune system
🏃 Sanfte, regelmäßige Bewegung
Movement activates the Wei-Qi:
- Qi Gong — especially „Drawing the Bow“ for Wei-Qi
- Tai Chi — flowing movements strengthen the immune system
- Light jogging or walking in the fresh air
- Swimming (but dry off thoroughly and keep warm afterwards)
- No overexertion — exhaustion weakens the Wei-Qi
💪 Sanfte Abhärtung
Train your Wei-Qi step by step:
- Contrast showers — start slowly with lukewarm/cool
- Wash your face and hands with cold water in the morning.
- Dry brushing before showering — stimulates the Wei Qi
- Walking barefoot on grass or sand (in warm weather)
- Increase slowly — toughening up takes time and regularity
Sleep and regeneration
🌙 Ausreichend Schlaf
Wei-Qi regenerates during sleep:
- 7–8 hours of sleep per night is ideal
- Go to bed before 11 p.m. — gallbladder time begins
- Maintain regular bedtimes
- Keep the bedroom cool, dark, and well ventilated.
- No screens 1 hour before bedtime
😴 Qualität des Schlafs
Deep sleep strengthens the immune system:
- Eat lightly in the evening — not too late and not too heavy

- No caffeine after 2 p.m.
- Warm feet help you fall asleep
- For problems falling asleep: Acupressure at point He 07 (Shenmen)
⏸️ Breaks in everyday life
Wei-Qi also needs rest during the day:
- Plan short breaks - every 90 minutes
- A short nap (20 minutes) can help
- Don't push yourself when you're tired
- At the first signs of a cold: rest and warmth
- Exhaustion is a warning sign — take it seriously
Avoid stress — it weakens the Wei-Qi
😰 Wie Stress das Wei–Qi schwächt
In TCM, stress consumes protective qi:
- Chronic stress exhausts the qi as a whole
- Tension blocks the flow of qi
- Worrying and brooding weaken the spleen and lungs — the sources of Wei Qi.
- Anger and frustration heat up the qi and make it unstable.
- When you are stressed, you become more susceptible to infections.
🧘 Stressbewältigung
Protect your Wei Qi through inner peace:
- Daily relaxation exercises (Qi Gong, meditation, breathing exercises)
- Setting boundaries — learning to say no
- Set priorities — not everything has to be perfect
- Plan regular breaks
- Hobbies and activities that bring joy
🌿 Natürliche Stresskiller
Diese Aktivitäten bauen Stress ab und stärken das Wei–Qi:
- Spending time in nature
- Maintain social contacts — loneliness weakens you
- Laughter — proven to strengthen the immune system
- Creative activities (painting, music, crafts)
- Practice gratitude — write down three positive things every evening
Seasonal adjustment
🍂 Herbst — Die Lunge stärken
Autumn is the season of the lungs and the metal element:
- Pay special attention to heat — change comes quickly
- Eat moisturizing foods (pears, almonds, honey)
- Nourish the lungs—they produce Wei Qi
- Practice letting go — emotionally and materially
- Good time for acupuncture and herbal remedies
❄️ Winter — Preserving Wei-Qi
Preserving yang in winter:
- Go to bed early, get up late (with the sun)
- Warming foods — soups, stews, spices
- Reduce activity — focus energy inward
- Keep especially warm — kidneys, feet, neck
- Astragalus tea to strengthen Wei Qi
🌸 Frühling — Langsam aufbauen
The qi begins to rise outward:
- Increase outdoor exercise
- Lighter fare — less heavy food
- Be careful in changeable weather
- Intensify stretching exercises and qi gong
- Supporting the liver — it distributes qi
☀️ Summer — Strengthen with caution
Yang is strongest — but beware of air conditioning:

- Air conditioners are a common cause of wind and cold invasion.
- Light exercise in the morning or evening
- Good time to train the Wei-Qi through gentle hardening
💡 Important to know
Strengthening your Wei Qi requires patience and consistency. It is like training a muscle—only through consistent practice will your immune system become stronger. Pay attention to your body's signals and allow yourself to rest at the first signs of weakness. Over time, you will become more resistant to external influences and enjoy a more stable sense of well-being.
For optimal treatment progress
TCM is not a quick fix for symptoms., but rather a holistic healing process. You will achieve the best results if you consistently integrate the treatment into your daily routine and give your body time to regenerate.
Integration into everyday life
Start with ONE step
Don't try to change everything at once! That's overwhelming and leads to
usually leads to you giving up. Instead:
- Weeks 1–2: Dress warmly, avoid wind, eat a warm breakfast
- Weeks 3–4: Qi Gong „Drawing the bow“ daily for 10 minutes.
- Weeks 5–6: Integrate acupressure points Lu 09 and Ma 36
- Weeks 7–8: Immune-boosting foods such as shiitake mushrooms and astragalus
- From week 9: Add herbs that strengthen Wei-Qi
Realistic expectations
After 2–3 weeks: First improvements noticeable
- Less spontaneous sweating
- Improved thermal comfort
- Less sensitive to cold
After 6–8 weeks: Significant improvements
- Significantly fewer colds
- Stronger immune system
- More energy
After 3–6 months: Sustainable healing
- Wei-Qi is significantly strengthened
- Robust immunity
- Resistant to external influences
TCM vs. Western medicine
TCM and Western medicine are not mutually exclusive — they complement each other!
When Western medicine is important:
- In acute emergencies
- In case of structural damage
- In case of infections
- For accurate diagnoses (laboratory, imaging)
Where TCM has its strengths:
- In case of functional disorders
- For chronic complaints
- For prevention
- For holistic healing
Ideal: Combine both systems! Use Western medicine for
Acute treatment and accurate diagnosis, TCM for lasting healing
and strengthening the body's self-healing powers.
Important: Never stop taking prescribed medication without consulting your doctor first!
Talk to your doctor when you start TCM treatment.
TCM diagnosis for professionals
Syndrome differentiation according to TCM:
Tongue: Pale, possibly slightly swollen, thin white coating
Pulse: Weak and superficial (Fu Mai 浮脉), especially at the right Cun position
Pathomechanism:
The Wei-Qi can no longer adequately protect the body's surface. The pores do not close properly, leading to spontaneous sweating. External pathogenic factors such as wind and cold easily penetrate the body.
Treatment principle:
Bu Wei Qi, Gu Biao (补卫气, 固表) — Tonify Wei Qi and consolidate the surface
Classic recipe:
Yu Ping Feng San (玉屏风散) — Jade Windscreen Powder as a base
Important modifications depending on accompanying symptoms:
- For heavy sweating: + Mu Li, Fu Xiao Mai
- For frequent colds: + Fang Feng, Jing Jie
- For simultaneous spleen qi deficiency: + Ren Shen, Bai Zhu
Every step counts
Your body WANTS to heal—you just have to create the right conditions for it to do so.
Remember:
👣 Every little step counts
You don't have to be perfect. Even one warm meal a day is better than none. Even 5 minutes of qigong is better than no exercise at all.
⏳ Patience pays off
It took years for your body to get into this state. Give it time to regenerate. Healing takes time, but it WILL happen.
🎯 Focus on what you can DO
Don't concentrate on what you are doing „wrong". Focus on every positive step you take.
💚 Be good to yourself
Perfection does not exist. It is acceptable to have an off day occasionally. Tomorrow is a new day when you can continue.
🤝 You are not alone
Thousands of people are walking this path with you. For over 2,000 years, TCM has been helping people like you who want to regain their health.
