Alternative Method in Managing the Flu Season
The flu season is here and this year it is dominated by the swine flu. Most people have to rely on themselves to manage it, from prevention to treatment. Traditional Chinese Medicine may offer the solution we need.
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a long history of fighting various pandemic diseases. Currently in China, swine flu cases have been successfully treated purely with Chinese herbal medicines, according to official Chinese news reports. As a leading provider of Chinese medicines in Los Angeles Community, Hsien Acupuncture is happy to help our clients better prepare for the swine flu and the flu season with time-tested Chinese herbal formulas. Among the list below, Sang Ju Yin and Ren Shen Bai Du San are recommended by the Chinese health authorities for swine flu prevention and treatment while others are commonly used for cold and flu, each with its own unique consideration.
For Seniors, Childrens or anyone that are vulnerable to seasonal colds it is recommended you still get your seasonal flu shots. Remember, few percent will actually get some of the flu signs and symptoms when exposed to the vaccine. If it last more then a week consult your primary physician. With any alternative treatment it is only beneficial if you follow the physicians recommended dosage and dietary advice to boost your immune system to overcome and shorten the virus lifespan in your body if you already been infected by the virus. Wash your hands constantly and sneeze to your forearm instead of your hands from spreading the virus. We can all get through this tough season and enjoy the upcoming holidays by taking care of our health.
