Viruses, germs and bacteria are everywhere. They are in the food we eat, the air we breathe, and the water we drink.
Germs gather and thrive only in weakened parts of the body. When there is an imbalance of Qi, the normal functions of your body will ultimately be affected. This can change the normal immune system response and lead to illness.
Acupuncture treats the common cold by first focusing on the immune system or Wei Qi. To prevent colds, the Wei Qi needs to be strong. Regular acupuncture treatments can help boost the immune system, while balancing hormones that can also play into how the body functions to fight off a cold.
If you or a loved one are looking for help with cold and flu symptoms, you've got nothing to lose if you give Dr. Gao a shot!
