How do I increase my resistance

1. Home
2. TCG for everyday

In ancient China, it was the doctor's task to keep people healthy. Thus, Traditional Chinese Medicine is fundamentally a preventive medicine. The doctor already paid attention to what we now call lifestyle: nutrition, exercise, considering the seasons, what can you do daily to stay healthy. The doctor received shelter and food from the villagers as long as he kept them in good condition. If they fell ill, he received nothing until he got them back on their feet. The result is that within TCM, very effective treatments have been developed to both prevent and cure diseases.

Formerly, a strong immune system was essential to withstand harsh conditions. Nowadays, resistant bacteria are lurking and we infect each other in office buildings and crowded classrooms. Even though we live in a different time, TCM helps to boost your immunity.

Nutrition

• lightly heated radish and radish (three minutes in hot water)
• onion, leek
