MessageMany people get colds or the flu when their immune system gets weak. If you are doing a lot of iron shirt III or tiring yourself out through too much excercise, that could contribute towards draining your kidney (jing) qi.
I think the most beneficial for healing the body are practices that draw up earth qi, and practices that cultivate neutral force like kan and li.
I have noticed that my resistance has dramatically increased, but it takes a while for your body/energy body to change, and what practices you focus on. I do mainly kan and li through primordial qigong and related things. I often function at an extreme sleep deficit meaning that my resistance should be lower, but have not yet gotten sick this year.
It also helps if you are able to prevent loss of jing qi through ejaculation. Some good herbs to aid in that are schizandra, cornus (mixed with he shou wu and goji) as a tonic (not intended to treat anything) and gynostemma tea. Schizandra and cornus are both astringent herbs that help to root the jing more deeply in the body.
