When a face mask is no longer just a physical barrier, but becomes a “wearable wellness tool” that actively promotes respiratory health—that is the core value of the Herbal Care Respiratory Mask. By combining modern materials technology with the thousand-year-old Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practice of “Fu Qi” (breath absorption), it offers a unique solution to the global market for healthy breathing.

1. Millennia-old TCM wisdom: What is “Fu Qi” therapy?

“Fu Qi,” also known as “food qi” or “regulating qi,” is an essential method in TCM wellness. The Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon states: “Qi is the root of the human being.” Fu Qi therapy regulates the rhythm of breathing, expels stale qi and takes in fresh qi, allowing the clear qi to nourish the internal organs and unblock the meridians, thereby strengthening the body. In the “Thousand Golden Prescriptions,” the Tang dynasty physician Sun Simiao detailed the method: “Use the nose to draw in clear qi and the mouth to exhale turbid qi.” The core idea is that breathing is not only a process of gas exchange, but also a key way to regulate the body’s qi dynamic and promote the flow of qi and blood.

2. From “Fu Qi” to “Fu Qi”: Modern transformation of the product

Traditional Fu Qi therapy requires active regulation of the breath. The Herbal Care Respiratory Mask, by contrast, creates a new pathway—making every natural breath a form of “passive wellness.” The mask incorporates herbal extracts that continuously release active compounds during wear. These compounds enter the nasal cavity and lungs with each breath, and then travel through alveolar gas exchange to affect the whole body. This “fragrance entering the body via the nose and mouth” is safe and convenient, like a “breathing shield” that protects respiratory health at its source.

3. Scientific support: International research confirms effectiveness

The product concept is not without evidence. In 2019, an SCI-indexed study published in Advances in Preventive Medicine conducted an eight-week controlled trial on factory workers. Results showed that the group wearing the herbal breathing mask experienced significant improvements in nasal IgA levels and lung function parameters (FVC, FEV₁, PEF), outperforming the group wearing ordinary masks. Such research provides internationally recognized evidence-based medical support for the Herbal Breathing Mask.

4. Global market outlook

The global market for herbal inhalation products is growing rapidly. The herbal nebulizer market is projected to reach USD 740 million by 2031, with a CAGR of 5.5%. Countries such as Thailand have identified herbal inhalers as a key industry in their health economy. Combining “tradition + technology” and “function + experience,” the Herbal Care Respiratory Mask perfectly aligns with the rising global consumer demand for proactive health management, making it an ideal entry point into the international market for herbal wellness products.

Taizhi Medical is the first manufacture to combine the herbal core with mask technology, allowing you to enjoy inhalation care while staying protected.

This innovation is inspired by the traditional Chinese medicine practice of “Fu Qi” (breath absorption). We have turned this ancient concept into a practical product. Simply wear the mask as usual, and with every breath, the herbal essence from the paste core gently enters your respiratory tract and lungs, providing a conditioning effect.

We focus on sub-healthy individuals—especially those who suffer from seasonal coughs, allergic rhinitis, or frequent colds. This mask has shown remarkable results in relieving these conditions.

As for the ingredients: each mask contains 10–12 authentic herbs in its paste core. The paste is carefully brewed and concentrated using traditional methods—alcohol-free, hormone-free, and non-irritating. It is safe for the elderly, children, and new mothers, making it suitable for daily, long-term use by the whole family.
