TCM Immune Support
TCM views the human body as an integrated system where the organs and meridians work together to maintain balance and health. Boosting immunity involves harmonizing these systems, invigorating qi (vital energy), and fortifying the spleen and stomach, which are considered the foundation of acquired immunity.
The Principles of Enhancing Immunity in Traditional Chinese Medicine
🌟The Spleen and Stomach are the Foundation of the Acquired Body:
When the spleen and stomach function well, they can transform food and drink into the essence of qi and blood, providing the body with sufficient energy.
🌟Qi and Blood are the Source of Life:
Sufficient qi and blood naturally enhance the body's resistance and make it less susceptible to external pathogens.
🌟Yin and Yang Balance:
Balance between yin and yang is the foundation of health. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) enhances the body's self-healing ability by adjusting this balance.
