Great ways to help the body heal itself naturally is by having an acupuncture treatment - even quicker relief with the use of Chinese Medicine.
Acupuncture is most effective when treating any form of cold or flu, and at any stage of the infection. The longer someone waits to treat an infectious disease, the longer it takes to clear the pathogen. When treating cold or flu symptoms, the results are always more effective if the treatment begins at the earliest stage.
Acupuncture, gua sha, cupping, and moxibustion can provide immediate relief from cold/flu symptoms. Needles are inserted into acupuncture points along the meridians to assist with the various individual symptoms. Acupuncture speeds up the healing process by boosting the body’s natural defence system.
Chinese herbs are used in much the same way as antibiotics have an action which repels flu bugs and the virus out of the body. Chinese herbs are used very effectively to kill the infection and inflammation produced by the bug.
Chinese Medicine’s primary concern is maintaining a state of balance within the human body and in relationship to the outside environment. Once you have achieved this, your resistance to illness will be sufficient to keep you from catching a cold or flu. We are exposed to viruses all the time, and the people who then to get sick are under a lot of stress, fatigued, have allergies, or are out of alignment.
