This recorded webinar offers a comprehensive, educational exploration of how the immune system functions and how it can be supported through traditional, nutritional, and herbal frameworks. You’ll gain a clear understanding of the immune system as an integrated network rather than a single organ, including its relationship to digestion, circulation, stress physiology, and daily habits. The course examines why immune resilience varies so widely between individuals and how long-term patterns such as sleep, nourishment, movement, and stress influence immune response over time.
Drawing from Western herbalism, Ayurveda, and Traditional Chinese Medicine, the class explores how different traditions have approached immune support for centuries, especially during periods of widespread respiratory challenge. You’ll be introduced to general categories of immune-supportive strategies, including long-term tonics, short-term supports, and approaches that focus on tissue resilience rather than symptom suppression. Emphasis is placed on observational, non-prescriptive education rather than protocols or promises.
This class is for students of herbalism or holistic health, practitioners seeking a broader conceptual framework, and individuals who want a grounded, educational understanding of immune system support.

This course provides an in-depth look at immune system support from a holistic, systems-based perspective. Rather than focusing on single nutrients or quick fixes, you’ll explore the immune system as a dynamic, whole-body process that relies on balance, communication between tissues, and long-term physiological resilience. The material clarifies how immune activity is influenced by digestion, lymphatic flow, nervous system tone, sleep patterns, and environmental stressors.
You’ll examine how traditional healing systems have historically understood immune challenges, particularly those affecting the respiratory system. The class introduces broad categories of supportive approaches—such as nourishment, rest, circulation, and traditional herbal classifications—without positioning any method as curative or universally applicable. Attention is given to the difference between long-term immune tonics and short-term supportive strategies, and why timing, constitution, and overall vitality matter when considering immune support.
The course also addresses common misconceptions about “boosting” immunity, offering instead a more nuanced discussion of immune modulation and adaptability. Throughout, the emphasis remains educational and observational, helping you think critically about immune health rather than follow rigid recommendations.

How the immune system functions as an integrated network within the whole body
Key factors that influence immune resilience, including digestion, stress, and rest
