Immune deficiency
Frequent illness, slow recovery, and post-viral immune weakness — approached with acupuncture and herbal medicine at AHC Chicago.
Overview
About immune deficiency
Frequent illness in TCM is often read as Wei Qi (defensive Qi) weakness, tied to Lung and Spleen function. Building Wei Qi through consistent care during well periods — not just treating each illness as it happens — tends to be the effective long-term strategy.
Treatment
How we treat it
Sessions during stable periods build underlying immune function; herbal formulas support that work between visits. Preventive courses of care before flu season are common. During acute illness we can treat, but the deeper work happens in the well periods.
