Consolidates the surface:

Description:

An indispensable blend that is now included in virtually all blends that strengthen our immunity - Wei Qi, the layer of defense. It was created by the brilliant Zhu Dan-Xi (d. 1481 A.D.) and Yu Ping Feng San - Jade Fan Powder, is one of his pearls.

Weakness and deficiency of defensive energy is manifested by spontaneous or light sweating, light colds and/or frequent illness, allergies and atopic terrain, where it plays an indispensable role in prevention and preparation for the season. Other symptoms include sensitivity to cold and wind, fatigue, weak voice, pallor, poorer appetite or various digestive problems. It is also used in paediatric practice, especially for frequent colds, allergies, especially seasonal ones, and chronic rhinitis with transparent or white mucus, mild bronchitis. In adults, it improves the state of the immune system after long hospitalizations, in chronic diseases, after childbirth, but also in tuberculosis, liver diseases of the nature of hepatitis or cirrhosis, or AIDS.

The simple blend is in a basic form made up of three herbs, where atractylis builds and strengthens the layer of nutrition, valerian the layer of defense, and idelweed disperses the Qi "over the surface" - the skin and mucous membranes of the respiratory and digestive tracts, where the organism comes in direct contact with the external environment (breathing and food). This is actually a strengthening of the Spleen and Lungs. In our version we have added two herbs to support the third organ that forms the axis of our immunity - the Kidneys. Bird's Beak supports their Yin and Cinnamon supports their Yang energy.

The blend is therefore great for regulating the immune system, helping to stimulate it when it is weakened, and dampening it when it reacts inappropriately to any allergens - for example, during pollen season or for food allergies.
