SPRING AND SEASONAL ALLERGIES

Welcome to Spring and the Chinese Year of the Ram.

For many, also known as allergy season.

Spring for many people is the time of stuffy noses, fatigue, constant sneezing, runny nose and watery, itchy eyes.  These symptoms can be overwhelming and make a persons life miserable.

Traditional Medicine has many effective tools to assist you and improve how you feel during allergy season.  How would it feel to breathe and think clearly?  How great would it be to not have your nose running all the time or the constant sneezing.  And what about those watery, itchy eyes, wouldn't be wonderful to be able to see clearly?

TCM uses many modalities that are safe, and non toxic to strengthen your body and your immunity so that the allergies have a minimal effect on your life.  You can improve your wellness and your allergies using TCM.

Give me a call for your personal evaluation and we can begin the process of eliminating you allergies and improving your symptoms.  You can have an allergy free Spring season.  Call or email today, lets get started.

Would you like to feel better? How about being sick less often?

 

Boosting your immune system is as easy as pie.  Yes, pie. 

It always starts with nutrition.
If you are sick all the time, tired all the time and just worn out.

Boosting your immune system could really make you feel better.  Here are several ways to boost your immune system.

• Improve the quality of the food you eat.
• Eat whole unprocessed foods, for example eat the whole apple, not apple chips. 
• Increase the number of fruits and vegetables you eat.  Shoot for 6-8 servings per day.
• Eat locally grown foods, use the farmers market, this guarantees the freshest food.
• Add some green tea to your daily routine.  Great at weight loss and an anti-inflammatory.

Other ways to improve your immune system.

• Add meditation to your daily routine.  20 minutes of meditation is the equivalent of 2 hours of sleep.
• When you meditate you are in a heightened state of healing, your body repairs itself.
• Walk every day for a minimum of 20 minutes, this stimulates many neurotransmitters that will strengthen your immunity.
• Get enough rest.  In the 1950's we slept 9 hours per night, we now sleep less than 6 hours.  That is a lot of sleep deprivation.  Your body restores itself when you sleep.
• Book an acupuncture appointment to increase your T cell production boosting your immunity.
• Ask me about a custom herbal formula that will build your immunity.

Ready to feel great.  Chinese Medicine is fantastic at building your immunity and getting you feeling young and vibrant.  I would love to facilitate your improved immunity.

Hate having a cold? Even worse the flu?

Prevention is the best medicine:

Hate that stuffy uncomfortable feeling, fatigue and body ache.  Research has shown the very best way to avoid the cold and flu season is to prevent, prevent, prevent.  Here are some excellent ways to keep from getting sick.

1)      Make sure you are washing your hands for 20-30 seconds frequently.  It is the friction and length of time that are important in hand washing.

2)      Cough into the crook of your elbow or onto your shirt where people are less likely to come into physical contact with the germs.  Don’t cover you cough with your hand where you are then more susceptible to passing on the pathogens (germs).

3)      Be very careful to use a tissue when touching your eyes.  The virus will be on your hand and the warm, wet eye is perfect breeding ground and entry point for the virus.  Use every preventative measure to your advantage.

4)      Drink plenty of fluids

5)      Get enough rest

6)   Wear a scarf around your neck, you want to keep the back of your neck covered. 

7)      Listen to your body, become keenly aware of the signs your body is giving you and then adapt and change your behavior so you stay well.

8)  If at all possible avoid crowds and other sick people.

At the Advanced Wellness Center we treat colds and flues all the time and are excellent at mitigating the uncomfortable symptoms.  We have excellent antiviral herbal formulas that are amazing at keeping you well.
