The Wentun 1.0 is WHIEDA's flagship and one of the rare home devices in which four technologies work in concert. Thermal stimulation, far-infrared radiation, LED therapy, plasma. One case — a complete programme.
What This Is and Why It Matters
The name "Wentun" comes from the Chinese 温通 (wēn tōng), which translates roughly as "warm and unblock." In Traditional Chinese Medicine terminology, this is a foundational action: warm the zone through which a meridian passes, and restore normal flow of qi. For millennia the tool of choice was moxa — smouldering mugwort pressed against the skin through a thin layer of salt or ginger. Effective, but impractical in a modern apartment: smoke, smell, burn risk.
Modern engineering offered an alternative. Not a single effect, but four at once, packaged into a portable device the size of a small briefcase. This is not one mode but a programme: heat opens the superficial tissue, far-infrared works to a depth of four centimetres, LED can be tuned to a specific task (skin tone, recovery, calming), plasma operates antibacterially at the surface. All of it managed from a single control panel, by tested protocols, daily for 15 to 30 minutes.
The WHIEDA marketing line for this device — "a sanatorium in your home" — sounds like overstatement. But unpack what a sanatorium actually does, and the picture clarifies: a rotation of thermal procedures, infrared cabins, physiotherapy, LED light therapy. Everything listed lives inside the Wentun. One housing.
I came to know the device not as an exhibit at a presentation but as a real working tool — after a year of consistent use by family members. The effect did not arrive on day one. Somewhere in the third or fourth week, the changes became noticeable. Legs stopped aching in the evening, the morning sense of the body cleared up, facial tone improved. The device does not perform miracles. It builds a daily routine in which the body recovers on purpose.
What's Inside: Four Technologies
Thermal Meridian Stimulation
The foundation layer — and one of the key differences between the Wentun and ordinary infrared devices. The heat here comes not from an external heating element but from within the tissue itself, generated by a weak electrical current passing through the body. The device's foot platform and the warming belt act as two electrodes: the circuit closes through the body — soles, calves and thighs, pelvis, lower back and abdomen. Tissue resistance converts the current into endogenous heat, warming the zone along the meridians from the inside, not from outside.
This is exactly why the instructions require warming gel on the soles and demand the skin stays moist — both ensure conductive contact with the electrode. It is also why the knees must not touch during a session: contact would create a shorter path for the current, bypassing the working zone. For abdominal and lumbar work, the gel is applied under a thin polyethylene film with the warming belt placed on top — preserving local conductivity for the full duration of the procedure.
The device works in two modes — direct and pulsed current. The direct mode warms the zone gently and evenly. The pulsed mode alternates short cycles of current with pauses, producing a rhythmic action in which tissues alternately heat and relax. Intensity is adjustable through the control panel, with the standard rule of starting low and building up gradually based on sensation.
Because the action is electrical in nature, the device is not used with pacemakers, metal implants, or in several other contraindicated cases — this is not excess caution but a direct consequence of how the technology works.
Far-Infrared Radiation
This is no longer simple heat. It is resonant action. Far-infrared works in the 8–14 micron band — the very range in which the human body radiates naturally. Waves of this length penetrate tissue to a depth of 4 centimetres, bypassing the surface skin layer and reaching subcutaneous fat, muscle, and fascia. There they trigger molecular vibrations that accelerate local microcirculation, support lymphatic drainage, and help cells recover faster. Far-infrared is the same technology used in premium infrared saunas, focused into a single point and delivered with managed intensity.
LED Therapy
An additional layer that works with the skin surface and surface processes. The Wentun ships with LED therapy in several spectra. Red light (around 630 nanometres) supports collagen synthesis and targets anti-age tasks. Near-infrared (around 850 nanometres) penetrates deeper, stimulating cellular recovery. Blue (around 460 nanometres) provides an antibacterial effect at the surface. Each spectrum is selected through the control panel for a specific task and combined with thermal action for amplified results.
Plasma Function
The most unusual of the four technologies and one of the key differentiators between the Wentun and simpler TCM devices in the WHIEDA line. Low-temperature plasma is ionised air formed when an electrical discharge meets the surrounding atmosphere. At the level of skin it delivers an antibacterial and gently cleansing effect: plasma neutralises surface microflora, opens pores, and prepares skin for better absorption of active ingredients. Especially useful when working with problem areas of the face and in combination with Fundesee skincare products.

What's in the Kit
The Wentun 1.0 is not just a device but a complete case with a use programme. Standard contents include the main module with control panel, a full set of attachments for face, body, neck and legs, a warming gel applied to skin for better contact and conductivity, a warming belt for the waist and abdomen, a professional carry case, a detailed instruction manual with application protocols for different goals, plus WHIEDA's warranty and service support.
When purchased as a kit, a cell activator ships as a bonus — a compact device convenient to use on the road or for local work when the main module is occupied by another family member.
How to Use It
The Wentun is not a "turn it on and forget" device. It is a tool that works on a protocol. The manufacturer recommends a course-based approach and provides detailed instructions for various tasks.
Base Protocol
One session per day for 10 days is a complete base course. After that you can pause for 2 to 3 days or continue, depending on goals and condition. The full programme unfolds over 30 to 90 days. The device is designed for daily use by the whole family — in that sense it pays back faster than the upfront price suggests.
A session begins at low intensity and gradually scales up. This rule matters especially in the first days — the body has to adapt to the input. Starting at maximum intensity does not produce better results — usually the opposite, with a sense of overload and uncomfortable sensations in zones of stagnation appearing 24 hours later.
Rules of Use
The device is placed on a flat, stable surface. Use it seated, with knees apart, not touching each other (important for conductivity distribution). For better contact with the foot platform, the soles should be moist and warming gel applied evenly. For working with the abdomen and lower back, gel is applied to skin, covered with a thin polyethylene film, and the warming belt is placed over the top.
After a session, do not take a bath or shower for one hour and avoid draughts. This is because after infrared exposure the pores are open and skin is especially sensitive to temperature shifts.
Safety Precautions
The device is not used with metal implants, pacemakers, or other implanted electronics, during pregnancy, during acute inflammatory processes, with elevated temperature, or in the first days of menstruation. These are standard restrictions for devices with infrared and thermal action — they are detailed in the manual and matter.
The effect becomes noticeable within two to four weeks of regular sessions. Quieter than massage. Deeper than an infrared sauna. This is a long-distance instrument.
How Wentun Differs from Other WHIEDA Devices
The WHIEDA lineup contains several home TCM devices of varying complexity, and it is worth understanding what sets the Wentun apart.
Cell Activator — a compact, entry-level biostimulation device. Around 50 000 RUB, easy to use, suitable for a daily tone routine. Works with one technology — gentle biostimulation. This is the entry into the line.
Ba-Gua Mini Sauna — a portable infrared sauna with mineral stones arranged by the eight trigrams principle. Around 68 000 RUB. Works with infrared radiation and minerals, oriented toward relaxation and detoxification. This is the SPA format.
Magic Foherb 3.0 Massager — premium massager with European TÜV certification. Around 65 000 RUB. Combines bioenergy massage, thermal stimulation, and multi-frequency vibration. This is the targeted massage tool.
Wentun 1.0 — one level above. Around 200 000 RUB, four technologies in one body (heat, far-infrared, LED, plasma), professional case with attachments for all zones, programme spanning 30 to 90 days. It is not an alternative to the other devices — it is the flagship that owners step up to after getting acquainted with the line's base instruments.
Conclusion
The Wentun 1.0 is not for everyone. The 200 000 RUB price honestly reflects what you get: four technologies, professional case, a programme spanning years of use. This is an instrument at the level of a family investment — like buying a quality exercise bike or massage chair, with broader functionality and a transparent TCM rationale behind every mode.
If you take home wellness seriously, if you already know the base WHIEDA devices and want a systemic instrument, if you have a family in which each member could find their own use case — the Wentun works. The effect does not arrive on day one, and it does not resemble the effect of massage or sauna. It is a different category: a background daily support, with cumulative results across weeks and months of regular application.
The Wentun also pairs naturally with other products in the line. Lingzhi capsules support immunity and liver function from the inside — a synergy with the device's lymphatic-drainage effect. Fundesee skincare absorbs better after plasma treatment of the face. Anion insoles in daily footwear continue the microcirculation work in the feet between sessions on the foot platform. In that sense the Wentun is not an isolated device but the core of a home TCM system.
