It’s important to have a healthy immune system, no matter what time of year it is. The period of late fall through winter is commonly considered “cold and flu season,”. The holidays and spending time with family and friends is all the extra reason to keep your body’s defenses at their peak!
Your immune system relies on your body’s overall health to maintain its effectiveness. Poor nutrition, stress, and exposure to unhealthy environments all increase your risk of getting sick.
During the colder fall and winter months, your body has the added stress of handling cold weather, the stressful holiday season, and increased exposure to others with various types of the common cold or flu. At the same time, we all want to enjoy this time of the year with the confidence that our immune system will keep us healthy!
Acupuncture is a natural treatment that helps to treat the root cause of common immune issues and prevent the recurring ‘cold and flu’ that many experience. Treatments reduce stress, which is a major factor in the immune system’s ability to fight off infection.
Acupuncture has been shown to naturally increase the body's natural immune cells. Regular acupuncture treatments can increase red blood cells, white blood cells, and T-cells to naturally boost immune defenses and recover from immune-related conditions. This is especially important for enhancing the immunity of those with immune-related illnesses by encouraging these cells to reproduce and boost the body’s defenses. The elderly population and those with pre-existing conditions are especially susceptible to colds and flus, making regular acupuncture a great choice to help treat and prevent these conditions.
Acupuncture is unique from other treatments in that it boosts the immune cells themselves to result in a more effective and long-lasting remedy for immune issues. It reduces the symptoms, speeds up the healing process, and regulates the immune response system.
