Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine can be a valuable supportive therapy during the vulnerable cold-weather months. Concerns over Swine flu and seasonal flu and other common bacterial and viral infections prompt many people to look to natural solutions to prevent and treat these diseases. Many of our patients wish to avoid vaccinations, antibiotics, cough syrups and other medications that treat only symptoms, can mask other illnesses, weaken the immune system and injure the digestion.

We offer acupuncture as a safe, natural and effective treatment that bolsters the lungs and defensive qi, strengthens digestion, and increases the ability of the immune system to fight off infections.

Powerful Chinese herbal remedies are available that patients can take daily to treat or prevent infections, including the H1N1 virus and other seasonal flus.

Remember: with proper care that includes regular acupuncture treatment, rest, and natural foods, your body has the strength and capability to keep you well and prevent you from falling ill this winter.
