Energy and Immune Enhancing
In Chinese medicine our immune system is called our 'wei' or 'defensive' Qi(energy) acting as a physiological barrier that protects us from the external environment.
Sometimes particular conditions cause this defensive qi to break down so that we feel constantly fatigued, run down and prone to colds and infections. Prolonged stress, heavy physical training, digestive issues, and chemotherapy are just a few common examples of conditions that can compromise our defensive qi.
In Chinese medicine the immune system is closely related to the functions of the lungs and spleen(digestion).
Eating a nourishing diet and adopting gentle energy(Qi) moving therapies such as Qi-Gong(www.openskyqigong.com) or Tai-Chi also enhance recovery.
