Acupuncture for Cold and Flu

I love treating people when they have a cold as it can be a very powerful treatment where people notice a huge difference right away, even with the needles still in them. Oriental medicine believes that there is an external pathogenic invasion that causes your symptoms. Most people start with some sort of sore throat which quickly goes to the head. That sore throat is usually caused by an invasion of wind (most likely on the back of the neck). I tell people it is important to get an acupuncture treatment for your cold before it enters the lungs. Once it reaches that state then another energetic system has been compromised and will make your healing time longer. Using acupuncture for treating a cold is effective and is nice as it doesn't give you any side effects from cold medicine.

When it comes to the flu, I ask that you wait until you are no longer contagious to come into the office for a treatment. This is important for the health of all of our practitioners in the office, as well as our other patients. Acupuncture can help you get back on your feet once the contagious period is over. It will help you to regain your energy quicker and get you back to the things you usually do.

Acupuncture is also effective for people who have a weaker immune system. They find that they have less colds after starting with acupuncture. It can also help with a person's allergies. Acupuncture works to increase a person's immune system making it a great alternative treatment for these conditions.

During your acupuncture treatment at Element Acupuncture in Boston we will sit down and discuss all these options with you. We take the time to make sure we know all about your concerns and we come up with a treatment plan that is realistic and effective.

Call William Wessel now at 617-922-1881 to discuss your health concerns and to see how acupuncture can help you to have less colds, allergies and flu. Our office is located in the back bay neighborhood of Boston and is easily accessible from the South End, Fenway, Beacon Hill or Cambridge. We are never too busy to talk to you and want you to feel better. We know what it is like to live with these conditions.
