In TCM, we believe that the function of our Lungs play a big factor in our immunity, or in TCM terms, our ability to ward off evil pathogenic wind. So typically we would try to improve the Qi of the Lungs through acupuncture and herbal medication. For kids, we would recommend doing pediatric tuina on a regular basis as a prevention from falling sick. Moderate intake of 黄芪 or 冬虫夏草 regularly can also help improve Qi of the Lungs. Do seek advice from a TCM physician if you are unsure whether this is suitable for you or not.
