In the past couple weeks I treated many cases of coughs and cold. Seems like the flu season is upon us early this season. Fluctuations of warm and cold temperatures are difficult for the body to adapt and weaker immune systems are affected. I have noticed that patients who get acupuncture on a regular basis seldom get colds or the flu. Acupuncture promotes and harmonizes qi and blood functioning regardless of the points used. In other words, acupuncture has the side effect of strengthening the immune system. So, to stay healthy through climatic changes, get acupuncture regularly and protect your wind points on the back of the neck: just keep the neck and shoulders covered and warm.
