Boosting Winter Immunity with Korean Medicine

Winter is the season when kidney energy flourishes. In Korean medicine, this is called 'dongjiang (冬藏)' — a time to conserve and store energy.

Three Ways to Stay Warm and Healthy

• Foot Bath (足浴): Soaking your feet in warm water for 15-20 minutes before bed helps improve blood circulation.
• Abdominal Warmth: Keeping the lower abdomen warm is essential. Use a heat pack or warm compress.
• Regular Sleep: Going to bed before 11 PM supports the kidney's natural recovery functions.

Winter: The Season for Tonics

The Dongui Bogam records that 'taking tonics around the winter solstice is beneficial.' A personalized herbal prescription matched to your constitution can help restore weakened immunity.
