Herbal Remedies. A Classic fix to a Classic problem

Many western approaches to cold and flu are passive...Drink lots of fluids, rest and wait for it to pass.  The word 'cure' may not be the best fit, but TCM offers a very effective set of treatments that can alleviate the unwanted effects of colds and flu.  Acupuncture and herbs can help resolve colds and flu much quicker than 'just waiting it out'.

In the this article from Acupuncture.com there is a nice presentation of classic Chinese herbal formulas that can deal directly with your symptoms.  It is always important to seek the advice of a licensed herbalist before taking or preparing any of these herbal decoctions.  Herbs are given for very specific conditions and ingesting the incorrect formula could worsen your condition.

Feel free to stop by my office in downtown Denver for a free 15 minute Acupuncture consult.
