Enjoy our weekly wellness tip from Licensed Acupuncturist, Michael Savalli, from the office of Elizabeth Martin.

Immunity Upgrade

Supplements are another valuable tool in your quest to fight and prevent infection. At Hands on Acupuncture and Massage, we offer effective herbal formulas based on the best of both modern western, and traditional eastern medicines. (Remember to reduce dosage suggestions if using on children.)

On the western side of things, there is the potent 1, 2, punch of Standard Process’ Andrographis Complex, and Congaplex. Andrographis combines some of the best immune boosting herbs; Holy Basil, Echinacea, and Andrographis. Congaplex is a potent formula of antioxidants, vitamins, and micronutrients. Taken as indicated, they give your immune system a boost, making you better able to fight off infection. Taken at the first signs of illness, at a slightly higher dosage, they can knock the little critters out before your illness gets worse.

From the east, we have the awesome protection of Yu Ping Feng San. That translates into “Jade windscreen formula”. Implying its strong defense against wind-borne pathogens. If you’re already sick, we go with Yin Qiao San. A combination based on honeysuckle and forsythia, intended to clear heat from severe febrile diseases.

There are two aspects to avoiding colds and flu. The first is making sure your environment is clean and healthy. Frequent hand washing, cleaning of surfaces, and limiting exposure to sick individuals fall under this category. The second aspect is keeping your own immune system in tip-top shape. These formulas can help you do that.
