How TCM Treats Common Cold
In TCM, a cold is seen as an external invasion of pathogenic factors like Wind, Cold, or Dampness, disrupting the natural balance of Qi, our vital energy. It's a signal that our protective Qi is waging a battle against these external forces, and our treatment strategies aim to support this natural defense.
TCM turns to nature's pharmacy to treat the common cold. Herbal formulas are not one-size-fits-all but are tailored to address the specific nature of your cold – be it Wind-Cold or Wind-Heat. These herbs work not just to alleviate symptoms but to restore the harmonious flow of Qi, strengthening your body from within.
Acupuncture is used to stimulate specific points in the body, enhancing the immune system, and expelling pathogenic factors. It's like opening windows to let fresh air in, encouraging the body's natural healing capabilities to take the forefront.
TCM emphasizes the importance of nurturing the body with the right foods and ample rest during a cold. Warm, easily digestible meals and plenty of fluids support the body's healing process, while rest is seen as a potent medicine, allowing the body to channel its energy towards recovery.
