<p>In Chinese medicine there's a concept called wei qi - a kind of energetic barrier that protects us from pathogens. In this episode, Erik introduces a variety of tools and techniques that you can use at home to help boost your wei qi and prevent infection as the weather gets colder. Included in the discussion are guasha (skin scraping), fire cupping, moxabustion, herbs and vitamins. You'll also learn how to make your own immunity tincture.
