The Time is Now to Prevent Colds and Flu

   This may seem like a strange time of year for articles on Colds and Flu, but for prevention the time is right. In the Huang Di Nei Jing, the oldest known medical text, written over 2,500 years ago, people were advised to go outside in the late, hottest part of summer and vigorously exercise to build their immune systems and  prevent illnesses in the fall. TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) does not just treat about every type of health issue, it focuses on prevention of illness, using exercise, diet, herbal formulas, Tui Na (Medicinal Massage), and Acupuncture. 

    For those prone to colds and flu, in the fall and winter, now is the time to start taking an immune building formula like Jade Screen. For those with chronic problems with colds, flu, bronchitis, pneumonia, sinusitis, ear infections, allergies... now is the time to find a good Acupuncturist to treat the root cause of the problem, and get ready for an illness free fall and winter season.
