As the days get shorter, the nights get longer and a chilly winter sets in, we are called to adjust our lifestyles to match the natural rhythm of a different season. It probably comes as no surprise that my top tip for winter is to drink more teas and herbal teas! This is because the kidneys love good quality, warm fluids to help them function optimally. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, winter is the time of year when the kidneys and bladder need some extra support so that we can stay healthy and well.

Why Boost the Immune System in Winter?
In Winter you are cold, rugged up and mostly in enclosed places for longer and this increases the risk of infection. Viruses also tend to live longer in colder temperatures and lower humidity.
