Supporting Your Body’s Natural Defences with Chinese Medicine

At Nature Heals Clinic in Kew, we provide gentle, holistic care to strengthen your immune system using Chinese Medicine. Whether you find yourself catching colds often, recovering slowly, or feeling generally run down, we help identify and treat the underlying imbalances that may be weakening your resistance.

What Does Low Immunity Look Like?

Some people feel constantly “one step away” from being sick. Others notice that minor illnesses take longer to pass, or that they get tired more easily than usual. Common signs of low immunity include:

• Frequent colds, flu, or infections

• Fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest

• Delayed recovery from illness or injury

• Allergies or sensitivity to weather changes

• Low energy and poor concentration

If your body feels more vulnerable than it used to, it could be a sign your immune system is out of balance.

Conditions We Treat

We support individuals of all ages with a variety of immune-related and constitutional concerns, including:

• colds, flu & viral infections

How Chinese Medicine Understands Immunity

Chinese Medicine takes a holistic approach to health, focusing on restoring the body’s internal balance and preventing illness before it begins. Rather than targeting specific bacteria or viruses, Chinese Medicine observes how the body is responding and treats the individual as a whole.

A key concept is Wei Qi, the body’s defensive energy that protects against external pathogens. It is closely supported by the Lung, Spleen, and Kidney systems, which help generate and circulate vital energy. When these systems are weakened by stress, fatigue, poor diet, or chronic health issues, your natural defences can become compromised.

When early symptoms of a cold or flu are addressed promptly, treatment can often provide fast relief and reduce the duration or severity of illness. Regular care can also help strengthen your immune system over time. Speak with your qualified Chinese Medicine practitioner to learn how your constitution can be supported and strengthened naturally.
