Back to School and Autumn with Immun-A-Tea™

In many parts of the Western Hemisphere it is “Back to School” time. If you follow the Ancient Chinese calendar you will also know that the solar term 立秋Lì Qiū, translated as “autumn begins” has just commenced and is a transitional period of the year marking the change from summer to fall.

In certain mountainous regions of China people follow the tradition of writing the following saying on a red paper and attaching it to their front door:

“Autumn has begun today; 100 illnesses be gone” jin ri li qiu, bai bing jie xiu.

In either case, it is the PRIME TIME to boost your Zheng Qi (the body’s ability to resist disease and exogenous pathogens, read more about Zheng Qi here). Why not do it effortlessly and with ease by using prevention?

The “黃帝內經 Huangdi Neijing”, known in the West as “The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine”, was put together more than two thousand years ago and is still regarded as a classic of Chinese medicine.  It elaborates on whether or not external causes lead to illnesses; determined by a person’s internal vital energy and the strength of their Zheng Qi.

This timeless canon emphasizes that boosting one’s vital energy can prevent illness. Throughout the text people are encouraged to take preventative measures before they get sick, seek treatment early on if they have symptoms of illness, and take steps to maintain their well being. In other words, protect yourself and your family now!
