Sickness Abounds
Wow... Have you noticed a lot of people getting sick around you lately? Coworkers, friends, people coughing at the grocery store? There are some downright NASTY Spring colds and flus milling about right now and they are not friendly, not friendly in the slightest.
Worse, seems to be that our local bugs, at least, tend to linger. Average time I see patients exhibiting symptoms is about 4 weeks. Yikes!
Luckily, I'm fully stocked up with preventatives and palliatives should you desire to avoid or treat the yuckies flying about.
Don't Get Sick! Or Recover Faster if Needed.
Yes, I speak true! And can attest based on experience since I caught some yuckiness thanks to a 1-2 punch from my son's daycare and a dear friend in quick succession. Son - recovered like a champ (kids do that). Friend - 105 deg fever with deep phlegmy chest cold for 4 days then slow steady recovery over several weeks. Me? One day of sneezing, 2 days of copious sputum, no fever, and 4 days later was 92% clear. The secret? Chinese Medicine of course!
Here are some things you can do to prevent, avoid or if necessary, quickly treat something yucky this Spring:
HYDROTHERAPY - it really is amazing what an alternating hot/cold shower can do. It stimulates the immune system and moves your lymphatics encouraging health in more ways than one!
ELDERBERRY - elderberry is simple and natural yet effective antiviral. Safe during pregnancy and lactation, as well as for babies and toddlers, a little bit goes a long way. I have elderberry tincture (glycerine base, not alcohol) and elderberry throat lozenges in stock!
YIN QIAO - of course, one of my all time favorites, this formula is a MUST for the initial stage of a cold or flu. Designed specifically for that tickle in the throat progressing to sore throat time, it can catch and reverse symptoms to keep you well!
BAN LAN GEN CHONG JI - this is a simple drink that yes, has a little sweetener in it, but it packed full of strong Chinese herbal antivital support. Ban Lan Gen, the primary herb in this decoction, is also used in formulas for Cancer, interestingly enough. Gentle enough for use during pregnancy and lactation, and sweet enough for your little ones, this instant drink is a perfect pocket pal for antiviral support on the go.
ACUPUNCTURE - of COURSE getting regular acupuncture treatment is also a MUST for keeping the immune system healthy and strong. Haven't been in for a while? Book an appointment and stop on by!
