Immune System Day
9 a.m. to 11 a.m., Monday
The sun, Earth and moon will be in alignment on Monday.

One day will have an effect on all 365 days. The principles derive from a 5,000 year old natural health care system which includes recipes, teas and natural foods. The nonprofit Qi Center welcomes all to attend this fifth annual event which is co-sponsored by the University of Hawai‘i. As part of the organization’s mission to provide complementary and integrative approaches for health, it is hoped that this event will make a contribution to the health of Hawai‘i’s people.
