According to news.com.au, there has been a marked increase in people who have been struck down with the flu and gastro this year in Sydney, NSW. As we know, the common cold and flu are viral infections, however, many people take antibiotics anyway, in an attempt to alleviate the signs and symptoms.

One advantage Chinese Medicine has over Western Medicine is its individualised, holistic approach to health and well-being. This means that even though two people have the cold, they may be given different diagnoses since they present different signs and symptoms from each other (e.g. one patient may have an aching body and a cough with white phlegm, while another patient has a sore throat and is coughing up yellow phlegm). Consequently, they will receive different acupuncture or herbal medicine treatment, based on the detailed consultation done.

So if you happen to have caught the flu around this time of the year, and it just doesn't seem to go away, why not come and try our unique, holistic treatments that would effectively alleviate your signs and symptoms such as:

Cough
Sore throat
Runny nose with thin or thick mucus
Sneeze
Phlegm
Aching body
Shortness of breath

Wish you good health and good luck!
