A Chinese medicine expert has revealed the winter health tips you should be practicing to avoid falling ill during the colder months.

Nina Cheng is the founder of The Eastern Philosophy - a small business that specializes in herbal medicines and frequently shares educational videos about traditional Chinese health remedies on TikTok. 

In one of her latest clips, the owner dished on the self-care habits you should and shouldn't be doing to help you feel better than ever - despite the fluctuating temperatures. 

She told her 286,000 followers that they should opt for low impact exercises, avoid sweating, and keep your habits to yourself. 

Nina captioned the viral video, which has so far amassed more than 22,000 views, 'Ancient Chinese winter health advice, plus supporting research. 

'Traditional Chinese Medicine urges us to follow seasonal rhythm in order to maintain optimal health, and each season is associated with certain organs —kidneys with winter.' 

'During the winter months, all things in nature wither, hide, return home, and enter a resting period. Just like lakes and rivers freeze and snow falls, this is the time when Yin dominates Yang. 

'Therefore, want to refrain from overusing the yang energy,' she said at the beginning of the clip. 

The business owner recommended getting to bed earlier and waking up 'with the sunrise.'

She added: 'Desires and mental activity should be kept quiet and subdued, as if keeping a happy secret.'
