I love treating patients with Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Formulas
at The Yo San University Clinic. We see many patients with Influenza
or The Common Cold and for the last few months there has been a vile,
despicable, incapacitating cold going around.It starts off as a sore scratchy throat and quickly moves to the chest where it becomes a heavy cough with thick phlegm. Other symptoms include dizziness, difficulty sleeping, lethargy and a stuffy nose.
I know this not only because I treated four patients with it in one day, but also because I came down with it too!
In my second week of this seemingly never ending monstrosity it occurred to me that perhaps I’m lucky not to have caught more colds and influenza while treating so many sick patients in the last year. I do have access to effective preventative herbal formulas for building up my immune system during times of stress, when I’m most susceptible.
