What Is Shen Qi Wu Wei Zi Wan?
Shen Qi Wu Wei Zi Wan is a traditional Chinese herbal formula based around four well-known herbs: Dang Shen, Huang Qi, Wu Wei Zi, and Suan Zao Ren.
From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, the formula combines Qi-tonifying herbs with herbs traditionally used to nourish and calm the Shen. The result is a balanced formula traditionally associated with supporting Qi while also nourishing the Heart and promoting calmness.
TCM formulas are traditionally selected according to an individual's overall pattern rather than according to a Western medical diagnosis. A qualified practitioner can help determine whether this formula is appropriate for your individual constitution and needs.

How the Formula Works in Traditional Chinese Medicine
Abundant Qi Plus combines two complementary traditional approaches.
Dang Shen and Huang Qi form the Qi-supporting foundation of the formula. Both herbs are widely used in Chinese herbal traditions when strengthening and supporting Qi is desired.
Wu Wei Zi and Suan Zao Ren provide the nourishing and calming side of the formula. In TCM terminology, they are traditionally associated with nourishing the Heart and helping settle the Shen.
The combination therefore brings together herbs traditionally used for both Qi support and Shen nourishment.
Understanding Qi, Wei Qi, and Shen
Traditional Chinese Medicine uses terminology that does not have an exact equivalent in modern Western medicine.
Qi is traditionally described as the vital functional energy involved in maintaining normal activity throughout the body.
Wei Qi, sometimes translated as defensive or protective Qi, refers to a traditional TCM concept involving the body's exterior defenses.
Shen is often translated as spirit or mind and traditionally relates to mental and emotional calmness, awareness, and overall sense of well-being.
These concepts belong to the traditional Chinese medical system and should not be interpreted as equivalent to specific Western anatomical structures or medical diagnoses.

What Are Teapills?
Teapills, sometimes written as tea pills, are small herbal pills traditionally made from Chinese herbal formulas. They provide a convenient alternative to preparing loose herbs as a traditional decoction.
Because teapills are compact and easy to carry, they are convenient for people who prefer not to prepare herbs by simmering them for an extended period.
The pills are small and generally easy to swallow. Because they contain concentrated herbal ingredients, you may notice a naturally bitter or herbal taste while swallowing them.
