Explore TCM wisdom to help you stay healthy during UAE's fluctuating seasons
Every winter in the UAE, the sudden temperature changes between cool indoor air-conditioning and warm outdoor weather can make many people vulnerable to colds, flu, and even pneumonia. While vaccines and hygiene remain key, many residents still struggle with weak immunity and repeated infections.
So, how can we strengthen our bodies naturally to stay healthy through the season?
The UAE's dry air and fluctuating indoor temperatures stress the respiratory system. Studies show that these rapid shifts can weaken the mucous membranes, making it easier for viruses and bacteria to invade.
