Acupuncture for Immune System Support:
Never Fear Cold & Flu Season
You know the feeling - you wake up with a tickle in your throat, a stuffy nose and your head feels so full of congestion you know you’ve caught the latest bug going around.
And being sick can be HARD - you miss work, you struggle taking care of your kids or loved ones, and it’s difficult even taking care of yourself and getting the rest you need.
No one has the luxury of taking a sick day, so why not work on strengthening your immune system so that you never have to fear cold and flu season again!

Acupuncture to treat a cold
Acupuncture can also help you treat a cold. It’s best to get an acupuncture treatment at the first sign of symptoms such as a stuffy nose, a cough or sore throat so that your body can expel the germ before it has a chance to fully explode into a full-blown illness or even go deeper into the body, making your illness last longer.
Acupuncture can not only lessen the duration of a cold but it can also lessen the severity of symptoms.

Acupuncture to recover from a cold, flu or illness
Finally, acupuncture is your best option for recovering fast after a cold, flu or other respiratory illness. Your body works hard to fight off any viruses or bacteria, which can leave you feeling exhausted, sore and worn out.
Regular acupuncture treatments can quickly get you your spark back, improve your appetite and revive your energy so that you can meet the demands of life post-illness. Too often this step in recovery is ignored leaving you susceptible to further illness.

Seasonal Allergy Relief
Seasonal allergies can wreak havoc on your life because it’s hard to meet the demands of your job and your family when you’re struggling with a headache, nasal congestion, sneezing, coughing and itchy eyes.
Your only recourse to make it through allergy season is not medication.
Instead, regular acupuncture treatments before and during allergy season can strengthen your immune system to help prevent such an uncomfortable response at the first sign of pollen or ragweed.

One of acupuncture’s super powers is it’s ability to prevent illness.
Too often we are only reactive once uncomfortable symptoms show up, but now you have a chance to be proactive- to be preventative- with acupuncture.
Strengthening Your Immune System with Phototherapy
I am often asked what patients can do to support their immune system between appointments so that they can keep themselves and their family members healthy.
One easy and effective option is to use the Glutathione phototherapy patch. Phototherapy utilizes the power of your body’s own infrared light to initiate change in the body.
The Glutathione patch, which is non transdermal, chemical and medicine free, reflects your body’s infrared light and increases the body’s glutatione level by 300% in 24 hours.
Glutatione is the body’s master antioxidant so this patch is extremely effective in supporting and strengthening the body’s immune system.
You can learn more about phototherapy and this patch here.
