Changing seasons bring many changes to our lives: comfy sweaters, warm comfort foods, and often the dreaded common cold. Symptoms can be mild to more severe. Dressing warmly, eating healthy, and being well rested will help. However, if you do get cold symptoms such as headache, chills, fever, congestion, sinus pain, and a cough, then seeing an acupuncturist can help! Acupuncture is beneficial in eliminating all of these symptoms. It can also lessen the chills and fever sensation. If you do not want to take decongestants or cold and sinus medication because they make your thinking fuzzy or they make you tired, acupuncture provides you with a drug free, natural option. It is virtually painless. In addition, there is non-needle acupuncture available. This season, try acupuncture for your cold and flu symptoms and save on the need to stock up your medicine cabinet.
