Can TCM strengthen our immune systems?
There's no doubt that TCM increases immune function, although it wouldn't really be seen as just strengthening the immune system. By restoring balance or keeping balance in the system, the immune system operates in a more effective manner. Through acupuncture, herbs and qigong it's also possible to clear toxic heat that may be associated with the pattern of disease. By living in harmony with the seasons and environment, we can be more in-tune with shifts and changes that may aggravate our immune systems.

Good point - we are not literally strengthening the immune system... it naturally appears more relatively strong when the body is in proper relationship and alignment... which is the goal of our art... to guide and shift and tweak a mini-system to be in alignment with the larger system... the body with the cosmos-Heaven & earth; from the top to the bottom, from all the directions of 8 and inwards to outwards... we expand and contract in harmonious delicate distillation of darkness and light
