Infections and Infectious Disease

Traditonal Chinese Medicine generally looks at infections as an external evil pathogen which has entered the body and the body is trying to expel it.    

The most effective medicine for infections is to prevent them.   We all should all try to stay in the best health possible.   By keeping our immune system healthy we will fight off most diseases with minimal symptoms.   If we run ourselves down, not getting enough sleep, eating poorly and having excess stress we will not be able to fight off the mild infections which we encounter.  

Sometimes our body comes into contact with a disease pathogen which is stronger than our immune system and we do get sick, even though our immune system was functioning properly.  

When this happens we must treat the symptoms present to help fight the infection off.  

The following articles listed below will give you an idea of how to better your health while fighting such disorders.
