IMMUNE BOOSTERS – Part Two

Did you know that acupuncture can be used to prevent frequent colds, allergies, sinus infections, headaches, and boost the immune system naturally? It works by balancing the lung qi-energy and releasing the exterior energetic levels. In Chinese medicine, the lung qi  balances the immune system and can ward off pathogens. A pathogen is triggered by wind, cold, heat, and dryness that enters at the nape of the neck. That is why it is important to cover your neck on a cold and windy day with a scarf. Acupuncture helps to kick out the external pathogen to fight off or resolve a cold/ flu virus. Getting regular acupuncture tune-up’s over the fall and winter will help you stay balanced.

Did you know that acupuncture is safe for children? Children and infants respond very well to acupuncture and tai na (chinese massage) for colds, flu, fever, diarrhea, stomach upset and coughing. For little children, the needles are inserted and taken out immediately. Often the combination of acupuncture, tai na and cupping can ward off a lingering cough.
