Acupuncture can help clear blocked sinuses, help with body aches, headaches, coughs & sore throats. The acupuncture boosts your immune system to deal with the virus and restores homeostasis. If we are run down, frail or an older person, it is more likely that complications will occur following a simple cold or flu virus.
Acupuncture helps recovery from colds, coughs and flu (influenza), and viruses such as tonsillitis and laryngitis. Acupuncture treatment should be received as soon as possible after the initial symptoms are felt - e.g. high temperature, sore throat, sneezing & shivering, headache, lethargy, etc. Improvement can be obtained in a few sessions.
