Ted Ray, L.Ac. Pinning Down The Cold & Flu SeasonCold and flu season has hit us head-on, and the best defense is a healthy immune system. Acupuncture has shown time and again that it’s one of the most effective ways to fight off those nasty bugs.For the common cold, proper acupuncture placement can help release pathogenic (viral) influences, thus accelerating recovery time and reducing symptom severity. For the flu, the primary issue is keeping the immune system and lungs healthy. I can also create a customized immune-boosting formula to get you through the worst of times – or better yet, prevent seasonal illness before it starts. A 1997 National Institute of Health (NIH) study analyzed the effects of acupuncture on the immune system, and the results confirmed what Eastern medicine has a significant and positive effect. Herbal Spotlight: Coriolus MushroomIf you came into my office asking for an immune-boosting acupuncture treatment, I’d almost certainly prescribe complementary herbal supplements – and coriolus mushrooms would probably be at the top of the list. A staple of Chinese medicine, coriolus mushrooms stimulate immune system response, enhancing white blood cell ability to remove toxins and pathogens from the body.While most people use coriolus mushrooms for fighting off a cold or the flu, researchers are spending significant time exploring its anti-cancer effects. In the past two years, the Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (New York) and industry journal Cancer Immunology and Immunotherapy have examined coriolus mushrooms through different reviews. Both studies noted immune system and white blood cell enhancement.
