Chinese herbal medicine prevents colds and flu by improving the immune system.

As we say goodbye to the days of summer, thoughts turn to the coming fall and winter. 

This is a perfect time to do a bit of preparation for the (I hate to say it!) coming cold and flu season.

Traditional Chinese medicine was the first preventive medicine. Wise healers taught us to ‘dig our well before we are thirsty’.  In other words, the ultimate goal is to stay healthy!

In the areas of immunity, colds, flus, upper respiratory infections and allergies, acupuncture and herbal medicine are powerful- with no side effects. I see many patients with colds, sinus infections, allergies, bronchitis and so forth. And I see their amazement at how well this natural medicine works for those issues!

This series of  articles  presents ways you can use the incredible healing powers of Chinese herbal medicine for prevention and treatment of colds and flu.

 PREVENTING ILLNESS BY BUILDING IMMUNITY

The best place to start is always with is prevention. Take some simple actions now to avoid illness later!

I bring up building the immune system NOW for two reasons:

1. It generally takes at least six to eight weeks to improve the immune system.

2. Building the immune system is much easier in the warmer months, when the challenges to it are few.

Dozens of immune building formulae are available. In my next post, I will talk about one of my favorites!

Boost your immunity BEFORE cold and flu season- now is an ideal time to start!
