YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM AND CHINESE MEDICINE
We all know that when we get RUN DOWN our immune system can become compromised and leave us open to catching all kinds of FLUES AND COLDS.
Traditional Chinese Medicine holds the same view, but rather than allowing illness to take hold. In Chinese Medicine, we look at the preventative measures we can take to strengthen our immune system or as it is known in TCM our 'Wei Qi'

SO WHAT EXACTLY IS Wei Qi?
Wei Qi provides an “immune system-like” barrier that protects your body from harmful pathogenic factors that can cause illness and disease.
When you are exposed to bad air, germs, and viruses, your first line of defence, according to Chinese medicine is your Wei Qi barrier.
Over time, your immune system (Wei Qi) can become weak and unbalanced this might be due to a few things: wrong foods, emotional stress such as grief, sadness, your inherited constitution, smoking, and pollution.
When your Wei Qi is down, you become prone to allergies, asthma, colds and even skin problems.
TO SUM IT UP, your health and the strength of your immune system depend upon the quality, quantity and balance of Wei Qi that flows within your meridian channels.
