Windy Season!! Don't be Fooled!!

Wow the weather is great, Spring season is here, the sun is shining and it's HOT out there in the middle of October/November..Don't Be Fooled!!! Even though the weather is nice and seems like the "spring season"is here. It isn't so, we are actually in the Fall Season and you have to make sure to protect yourself from the wind and cold from entering your body.
This is the time that people get "sick" with flu, allergies, colds, cough, and sinus congestion..

In Traditional Chinese Medicine it is believed that an external invasion of wind, cold, heat , summer-heat, dryness and dampness can lead to a "common cold" or flu like symptoms. Wind is a pathogenic factor that invades your body, it arises quickly, changes rapidly, and  which combines with cold or heat thereby attacking you with a "cold".

Take Preventative measures and precautions!! 

• Make sure your neck is covered (wear a scarf) when walking outside to prevent from wind entering your body and attacking you with a cold
• Don't sleep next to an open window
• Make sure the fan is not blowing directly on your face and/or neck
• Resist from driving with the windows down with that "cool breeze" in your hair/face 

Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine offer an effective way of treating the "common cold" and "flu" with symptoms such as, cough, fever, chills, headache, body aches, runny/stuffy nose, sinus inflammation and sore throat.

If you feel like your "getting sick" or "coming down with a cold", you should seek treatment immediately  with the appropriate herbs and acupuncture.
