Boosting Your Immune System During Cold and Flu Season

Posted on December 14, 2018 by nwahealth in Health and Wellness

Did You Know……

The spine plays a major role in your immune system, which is the first defense against disease. Your spine, spinal cord, and spinal nerves control every aspect of your nervous system. Your nervous system and immune system work together to help your body heal, but nerve interference because of spinal misalignment can cause stress to the body and lead to a poor immune response. Maintaining chiropractic care can help your body function at its highest level. This can help with: your defense system, inflammation, improve circulation, mobility, and flexibility.

ACUPUNCTURE AND YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM

You might think of acupuncture as a way to relieve your aching back or a chronic headache, but the practice, a form of traditional Chinese medicine that is more than 5,000 years old, could also help you avoid colds and flu this winter.

Acupuncture can boost the immune system and increase immune cells, improve the symptoms of allergies, which is an abnormal immune response. Patients receiving acupuncture have elevated immune-enhancing hormones and blood counts for up to three days after treatment. If you begin to feel the symptoms of the cold or flu coming on, it is important to visit our acupuncturist right away to get the most benefit from your treatment. Acupuncture can prevent colds and flu by boosting the immune system, help you get over the cold or flu faster if you already have it, reduce chills, fever and body aches, and relieve a sore throat and congestion.

Q&A: What else can you do to fight against colds and flu?

This simple soup is an ancient Chinese remedy that is used when someone is experiencing a fever with cold symptoms. Cook this broth as soon you feel a fever coming on, with symptoms of chills and a runny nose:

Green Onion, Garlic, and Ginger Soup

2 green onions (use only the white part) cut into several pieces

1 piece of ginger the size of a thumb, cut into slices

2 to 3 cloves of garlic, cut into slices

1 to 2 teaspoons of brown sugar or honey

Put the top three ingredients into a pot and add about 2¼ cups of water. Boil it for 10 minutes and then add the brown sugar or honey.

Happy Father’s Day

Father’s Day is always the third Sunday of June! Let’s celebrate the special men in our lives with a NWA Health Solutions Tens Unit.

Does your dad work hard? Does he like to play sports and complain of back pains?

“My father used to say that it’s never too late to do anything you wanted to do.” And he said, ‘You never know what you can accomplish until you try.’

A Tens Unit will help him relax and promote him to have better health with less pain all year long.

Tens Unit stands for transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation meaning impulses relax and contract muscles to release endorphins and inhibit pain receptors. It is non-invasive and drug-free saving you money with fewer Doctor visits throughout the year. They can also use this device as much as they would like!
