Boosting your immunity in preparation for winter
Traditional Chinese medicine has been around for thousands of years and has paved the way for new treatments and preventative measures. It is built around 5 seasons: spring, early summer, late summer, autumn and winter and as each season arrives, the health focus shifts.
In Autumn, traditional Chinese medicine focuses on the lungs and large intestines. Our lungs are responsible for taking in oxygen, and absorbing it into our blood while simultaneously expelling carbon dioxide. The large intestines are responsible for absorbing vitamins and nutrients. They both have the purpose of absorbing vital compounds that we need to survive.
When you put this into a modern medical context, it makes sense. Winter brings seasonal pathogens and cold weather. Improving our lung function helps us to fight pathogens, and improving our intestines helps us build nutritive reserves, all boosting our immunity to get through the winter.
There is something comforting and logical about respecting the past as we move into future seasons.
At Naturally Healthy we have a great range of products to help boost your immunity, support your lungs and nurture your intestines. One of these products is EXhale Immunity and Lung Health, and this coincidently has a Chinese name - Aihule 爱呼乐 . Check them out as we prepare for the winter months ahead ❄️
