Did you know acupuncture can help strengthen your body’s natural ability to fight off colds and flus?
Just because we are in the middle of the cold and flu season doesn’t mean it’s too late for some preventative complimentary medicine. Our bodies will naturally try to fight off any viruses but when we are run down or have not been taking care of ourselves the way we should be, we can be susceptible to getting sick.
In Chinese Medicine we strengthen the organs that are in charge of protecting our body against viruses. Think of the immunity building treatment like a tune up on your car, doing preventative care is being proactive and reduces loss of time due to mechanical failures. Your body can be thought of the same way, preventive treatments now can reduce loss of time from work, family and friends.
Sometimes colds and flus can still get through and if that should happen your acupuncturist help you. There are different treatment plans that can be used from Ghu Sha to cupping to needles to dietary recommendations. These treatments will lessen the length of the illness and reduce symptoms.
Here is a testimonial from one of my clients regarding this treatment:
“In the middle of the 2015/16 winter (January) I had a “flu shot” from Leigh-Anne. She explained it to me that it helps build up my immunity to fight off any colds or flus that may try to infiltrate my house. She gave me another treatment in the summer heading into the fall season and again in December. I can tell you it has made a big difference in my household. Everyone but the youngest has had this treatment and we have warded off quite a few bugs that have tried to come our way. Normally I get sick due to having two children in the school system who pick up colds and flus and bring them home with them. The kids always bounce back but for me it lags on. With these immunity building treatments I have been able to enjoy my winter. I recommend seeing Leigh-Anne, especially for this treatment.” – Kristie Dupuis
