Prepare for Cold & Flu Season |
|
 It is time for you to get your
Acupuncture,
Massage,
& Chinese Herbal Formulas to
1) Boost Your Wei Qi
2) Move Your Lymph
3) Zap Bacteria & Viruses.
Autumn is the season of the Metal Element. Metal Element = Respiratory illnesses (Lungs) and Digestion problems (Large Intestine), which propels us into cold and flu season:
- colds
- upper respiratory infections
- sinus infections
- allergies
- sore throats
- cough
- respiratory or stomach flu
It is time to prepare for cold and flu season with 3 Easy Steps:
 Step 1: Boost your Wei Qi, Defensive Qi,
with a Seasonal Acupuncture Tune-Up with
Dr. Megan Marco and Alicia DeMartin. Call 860.536.3880 to schedule your appointment. If you are sick, Acupuncture will help you get better quicker.
Step 2: Get a Massage with our Talented Licensed Massage Therapists to Move Your Lymph and strengthen your immune system.
Step 3: Come to Stonington Natural Health Center:
- stock up your herbal medicine cabinet
- make a kit specific to you with herbal formulas that kill bacteria and viruses. **See below**
- have Dr. Marco look at the stage of illness, your specific Herb Type, and what your symptoms are, to pick the proper Chinese Herbal Formulas for you.
- have an Herbal Consultation OR just pop in for herbs.
- Be sure to have your herbs handy to blast the bacteria or viruses, to take daily for prevention, or if you have been around someone sick.
Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs are much healthier for you than taking antibiotics or getting the flu shot. Specific Chinese Herbal Formulas kill bacteria and denature viruses, leave the digestive flora intact, and have no side effects.
Doctors of Chinese Medicine have fine-tuned these formulas over hundreds of years. Chinese Herbal Formulas usually consist of 8 to 16 herbs that act like a committee to get the job done: The first few herbs do the main job. The herbs below that help to support those herbs. Then there are important herbs that help with digestion and to help balance the chief herbs. Lastly, there is an herb that helps to harmonize so that all the herbs work well together.
 The most important formula for your cold & flu kit:
Ilex -- take 2 per day throughout the cold and flu season or when you're around anyone sick or going on an airplane.
Ilex zaps bacteria and viruses so that your immune system doesn't have to do all the work. Ilex is better than Echinacea as Echinacea increases White Blood Cell production while Ilex does not. Because Ilex does the work, you will have MORE energy.
