Immunity and the importance of Prevention

Many of us in Austin have no choice but to be around people at work or school that are sick. They sneeze, cough, often not covering their mouths, and they have fever. These people really should be at home. As an Acupuncturist in Austin I see the effects of viral transmission on a daily basis in my south central Austin Acupuncture clinic. Co-workers, friends, and family members are the usual suspects when we hazard a guess at to how we got sick. I think this is very common and the best way to deal with this flu season is prevention. Regular acupuncture treatments can help stimulate the immune system as well as having some common Chinese Herbal remedies at home to help prevent the virus from taking hold and you getting sick. Nutrition also plays a key role to keeping you healthy. Taking nutritional supplements like Immuplex also helps in strengthening the immune system. I take Chinese Herbal formulas and nutritional supplements daily in my Austin Acupuncture clinic so that I remain healthy and don’t communicate viruses to others.
