Acupuncture for colds and flu

Acupuncture, being used a lot for prevention of disease, is one of the best treatments to prevent colds and flu entering the body. Winter being the season where we are most likely to get a cold, is a good time to get constitutional treatments. If, on the other hand you already have symptoms of a cold, like sore throat, chills and fever, body aches and/or a runny nose, Acupuncture is still useful by tonifying the body’s defences and immune system and shorten the length of the disease. Some Chinese herbal formulas are particularly useful in preventing colds and flu’s, while others  are more effective in getting you better more naturally.
Seasonal Acupuncture treatments 4x per year will also prepare you for the next season. As nature changes, we change. Think about it!
