At Mr. Yu Master Acupuncture & Healthcare, we provide a gentle and holistic Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approach to support individuals experiencing flu and common cold symptoms. These may include fever or chills, headache, sore throat, cough, nasal congestion, body aches, fatigue, and weakness.
From a TCM perspective, flu and colds are often caused by external pathogenic factors such as wind-cold or wind-heat, combined with weakened defensive Qi (Wei Qi). When the body's resistance is lowered due to stress, poor sleep, or fatigue, these external factors can more easily affect the lungs and immune system. By strengthening the body's defense and supporting recovery, TCM helps relieve symptoms and restore balance.
