Can acupuncture prevent colds during the winter?
We've all met someone who seems to stay well all year round, rarely getting even a short spell of viral illness. How do they do it? They have a strong immune system!
We are constantly surrounded by sources of infection - particularly airborne cold and flu viruses. They spread faster through the air when it is cold, hence why its more common to catch one in the Winter time.
Avoiding all exposure isn't practical, or even possible. The best way by far is to protect yourself by staying healthy - that way the body will naturally defeat any virus before it has chance to take hold and turn into a real illness.
Acupuncture, especially a regular course (e.g. once per week for 3 months) naturally strengthens the body's immune system and promotes health generally. It has the power to increase your capacity for fighting off infections during the winter months. It also mitigates susceptibility to stress, low mood and fatigue that many people suffer from over the darker months.
If you are vulnerable to catching colds and need help strengthening your immune system then do call to arrange a free consultation.
