The treatment plan in four seasons
To maintain your children’s health, each season needs different approaches.
Your children have to deal with different weather conditions as the season changes.
More detailed treatment will be necessary to help your children adopt different environmental changes.
Yearly plan by seasonal changes to boost your children’s immunity.
- March to May: Care at the change of season: Your children’s immune systems have been affected by cold winds to damage the respiratory system. This condition will increase the chances of your children’s common cold viral infection.
- June to August: Prevention of a summer cold: Your children will be exposed to sudden temperature changes of summer heat and cold wind from air conditioners. Sudden temperature change triggers a weakening immune system to protect the body from catching a summer cold.
- September to November: Immune boosting: Summer heat makes your children sweat a lot, and the children’s bodies feel constant stress from the heat and lose energy by sweating. During this period, your children should have a chance to boost their physical stamina to restore from summer heat.
- December to February: Prevention for caching a cold: Your children should be kept warm to get through winter. Treatment should concentrate on preventing catching cold and long-lasting cold symptoms.
