Restless Legs Syndrome, Uncomfortable Leg Sensations
Hello. This is Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. Before we knew it, it's already winter, with cold air filling the air. Today, at Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we'd like to tell you about <b>the importance of winter immunity management</b> and <b>Korean herbal medicine good for immunity</b>.<br> <br> During winter, as temperatures drop and the air becomes dry, our body's immune system easily weakens. When immunity weakens, it not only increases the risk of exposure to respiratory illnesses like colds and flu but also to various other diseases. In particular, this year, a 'twindemic' of flu and COVID-19 simultaneously circulating is anticipated, making even more thorough immunity management necessary. Immunity management goes beyond simply preventing diseases; it is an essential factor for spending a healthy winter.
