TCM views low immunity as primarily caused by Spleen Qi deficiency, Lung Qi weakness, or Kidney Yang deficiency that weakens the body's defensive Qi and natural resistance.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), low immunity is often related to Spleen Qi deficiency, Lung Qi weakness, or Kidney Yang deficiency affecting the body's defensive capabilities. These imbalances may develop from chronic stress, poor diet, overwork, or a history of illness, leaving the body more vulnerable to external pathogens and unable to mount adequate immune responses.
