Tips for Cold & Flu Prevention

Although fall is a beautiful season, it is also, of course, a time when people tend to contract colds and flu. Here are 3 tips for cold/flu prevention:

1) Come in for an immunity-boosting acupuncture treatment. If you tend to get sick around this time of year, or you are still experiencing allergy symptoms, it is helpful to come in for a series of four weekly treatments to boost your immune system and rid yourself of respiratory difficulties.

2) Be sure to wash your hands frequently - especially when you are around others who have cold/flu symptoms.

3) Remember to layer your clothing in this New England weather. It may be 70 during the day at times, but it can get cold quickly! Keep scarves, sweaters and/or jackets on hand when you go outside - especially in this rain!

All of us experience stress in our daily lives. The combined effects of stressors can negatively impact both our immediate and long-term health. Research has found that during periods of stress immune and bodily functions are surpressed and that a lot of energy is used by the body in reaction to stress. Continued stress can lead to a depletion of energy and other resources making it difficult to recover physically and emotionally.

Acupuncture is a holistic therapy which can be used to treat a broad range of conditions and is a treatment which encourages the patient's body to heal itself. Topics in this lecture will include:

Stages of Stress & Their Impact
Positive and Negative Stress
Use of Acupuncture to Reduce Stress


Included with the lecture is a 20-minute acupuncture session so that you may experience the stress-reduction power of this ancient science.
