Can TCM Strengthen Our Immune System?

What a silly question, yes- of course it can! I'd like to stop the blog there, but I suppose that wouldn't be sufficient... so... again, yes. The TCM approach to any illness, whether chronic or acute, always encompasses some method of tonifying the immune system. This is the foundation for 'preventative medicine'. If we can boost immune systems and increase the health and vitality of individuals, then illness is not as widespread or as severe. The treatment includes tonification of a depleted system, yin, yang, body fluid. The energetic balance is the goal and somehow, one way or another, the immune system feels the affects and it's energy system is consequently enhanced.
