The weather is getting cold these days, which also means it’s the flu season. Many patients ask: Can acupuncture help with a cold or flu? The answer is yes! The common flu or a cold can occur in any season, however, winter is the most prevalent season due to temperature drops and changes.
If you’re wondering how acupuncture can be an alternative to a flu shot, it can decrease the risk of getting a cold in the first place. Acupuncture treatments can help strengthen the immune system, which means that it stimulates the body’s natural healing abilities and recharges the immune system. If you have a strong immune system, the chances are that you won’t get catch the flu or a cold because your body is strong enough to fight the bacteria and virus.
