ACUPUNCTURE FOR COLD & FLU

Acupuncture can help enhance energy and boost the immune system. Studies have demonstrated that acupuncture and herbal medicine reduce the incidence of upper respiratory tract infection (URI) and shorten the illness. Ii is best to begin acupuncture treatments as soon as possible to help eliminate pathogenic influences.

Chinese medicine believes that each person has a unique constitution that leaves their body exposed in one particular manner. This is why some people catch colds and flu and some do not. Acupuncture works by strengthening each person's particular weakness. Where MDs use generalized vaccinations to immunize them from the illness, Oriental Medicine uses acupuncture and herbal medicine to prevent illness. Studies have shown that certain immune enhancing blood components stay elevated for at least 3 days following an acupuncture treatment

The key to effective treatment is thought to be early intervention. The sooner treatment is received the faster and more effective treatment is.
