Flu & Cold Season – Prevention is the Key

In just a few weeks, the flu season will be here. Along with the common cold, allergies and the flu, Oriental medicine has a lot to offer patients who suffer from these disorders.

Most patients aren’t aware of the fact that acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine have been used for thousands of years to treat these conditions. In addition to the common cold and influenza, North Texas has its share of air pollution and environmental allergens. This can provide a tremendous degree of discomfort for those patients sensitive to these substances. Many patients report that their respiratory symptoms improve dramatically or are eliminated once they begin receiving regular treatments. At its core, Oriental medicine stimulates and boosts the immune system in order to minimize the affects of respiratory diseases. Regular wellness treatments have an cumulative effect, nurturing the defensive systems in the body. Patients are encouraged to make their wellness appointments early to ward off the attack of the flu season and minimize the effects of hayfever, pollution and seasonal allergies.
