This product is sold exclusively as a food supplement. It is not a medicine. Its use is based on traditional TCM applications.

Main benefits

  • Pattern Identification: Traditionally used for the TCM pattern of Taiyang Wind-Strike (Exterior Deficiency with Wind-Cold), presenting with fever, aversion to wind, headache, and crucially, spontaneous sweating that fails to relieve the condition.

  • Core Function: The formula is classically said to release the exterior muscle layer and harmonize Ying (Nutritive) and Wei (Defensive) Qi.

  • Ying and Wei Relationship: Based on the TCM principle that the Defensive Qi is too weak to protect the exterior and the Nutritive Qi is unable to remain contained, this formula simultaneously supports the outer defense and nourishes the inner fluids to restore systemic balance.

  • Key Ingredients: Gui Zhi (Cinnamon Twig) warms the channels and releases Wind-Cold; Bai Shao (White Peony Root) nourishes Blood and preserves Ying Qi; Sheng Jiang (Fresh Ginger) assists in releasing the exterior; Da Zao (Jujube) nourishes the Spleen; and Zhi Gan Cao (Prepared Licorice) harmonizes the interactions of all ingredients.

  • Emotional Component (TCM): While primarily for exterior physical conditions, the harmonizing of Ying and Wei deeply regulates the autonomic nervous system, bringing a sense of internal stability and calming the mild restlessness often accompanying a lingering illness.

  • Region of Action: Highly associated with the exterior muscle layer, skin, and pores, as well as the Middle Jiao (Spleen and Stomach), which serves as the root source for generating both Nutritive and Defensive Qi.

  • Classical Heritage: First recorded in the Han-dynasty classic Shang Han Lun (Treatise on Cold Damage) by Zhang Zhongjing, it is famously regarded as the foundational "foremost formula" of the entire text and the archetype for harmonizing therapies.

Zhenatura Gui Zhi Tang Extra Strong is based on the classical Gui Zhi Tang (“Cinnamon Twig Decoction”), first recorded in the Han-dynasty medical text Shang Han Lun (“Treatise on Cold Damage”) by the renowned physician Zhang Zhong-jing. Within traditional Chinese herbal literature, this specific combination of botanicals—including Cinnamon Twig, White Peony Root, Fresh Ginger, Jujube (Chinese Date), and Licorice Root—was described as a method to “release the exterior,” “harmonize Nutritive and Defensive Qi,” and “warm the channels” in accordance with the TCM theoretical framework. These descriptions belong exclusively to the traditional conceptual system of Chinese medicine and do not refer to modern anatomy, psychology, or scientifically validated physiological effects.

The Common Cold and Early-Stage Flu

https://www.healthline.com/health/cold-and-flu/cold-and-flu-season-remedies-from-traditional-chinese-medicine-doctors

Please note: This summary is a concise interpretation of the original article; please refer to the source for the full context and details.

The most classic application of Gui Zhi Tang is treating the very early stages of the common cold or flu, specifically when the patient is shivering, feels weak, and is already sweating lightly.


Unlike harsh, aggressive sweat-inducing formulas (like Ma Huang Tang), Gui Zhi Tang is a "supplementing" formula that resolves the infection by supporting the immune system rather than exhausting it. Modern pharmacological research demonstrates that the formula exerts an immunomodulatory effect. It gently stimulates the autonomic nervous system to produce a therapeutic, controlled sweat that lowers the fever and acts as a decongestant for the sinuses, while simultaneously reducing the systemic inflammatory response that causes body aches and headaches.

Chronic Spontaneous Sweating and Night Sweats

https://www.acupuncturetimes.com/chinese-herbal-medicine/formulas/gui-zhi-tang/

Please note: This summary is a concise interpretation of the original article; please refer to the source for the full context and details.

Because of its unique ability to "harmonize Ying and Wei" (regulate the opening and closing of the pores), the formula is widely used for patients suffering from chronic, unprovoked sweating that is not related to a viral infection.


When a patient constantly sweats during the day with minimal exertion, or suffers from severe night sweats due to autonomic nervous system dysfunction, Gui Zhi Tang restores the physical boundary of the skin. The cinnamon warms the skin's surface to restore its tone, while the astringent nature of Bai Shao physically pulls the pores shut, stopping the chronic leakage of bodily fluids and resolving the extreme fatigue associated with chronic sweating.
