Boost Your Immune System
A Combination of Chinese Herbs and Acupuncture Prevents and Treats the Flu and Common Colds

Acupuncture and Chinese herbs can be used to boost your immune system so that you can ward off colds and flu naturally.

If you do get a cold, the combination of acupuncture and Chinese herbs can help relieve the symptoms of stuffy nose, cough, headache, body aches, sore throat, fever and reduce the production of phlegm. These treatments will make you feel better quicker than traditional cold therapies and without the side effects such as drowsiness or jitters that often accompany over-the-counter cold medicine.

One of the greatest contributions Chinese medicine offers are herbs and herbal prescriptions that directly attack viral heat toxins causing the common cold, influenza, and upper respiratory illnesses. Traditional treatments offer, at best, bed rest and fluids, and at worst, antibiotics. Antibiotics, which treat bacterial infections, are ineffective against viral infections and negatively impact the body’s immune system by destroying the good bacteria necessary for digestion.

The Chinese materia medica has at least 30 strong medicinal herbs that can destroy pathogenic viruses. Herbs are chosen based on the infection, location (nose, throat, lungs, etc.), predominant symptoms and severity. To relieve the symptoms of a cold or the flu quickly, it’s important to begin treatment at the first signs.

Why feel ill, lose time from work and miss out on activities with your family? If you want to avoid the cold and flu season this year, or if you already have symptoms, give me a call today at (303) 875-7493.
