Hello everyone,
Welcome to the Acupuncture Mini-newsletter.
Lately we are surrounded by the fears of the flu and the H1N1 virus infections. Some people worried about the flu shot shortage, and others are hesitating about the possible side effects of the vaccine. Is flu shot the only and effective solution? Or should we pursue some other alternatives? Here are some references to help you stay healthy.
Flu shot vaccine is not the only or even the best way to protect you from getting sick, because if it does it only immunizes you against certain strains of flu viruses that suppose to affect you at the season. But viruses are constantly changing, and new strains appear all the time. That is why even you get the flu vaccine you may still catch flu! Besides this, some people experience side effects after flu shot like fever, headache, tiredness and muscle pain.
Yes, acupuncture can help boost your body’s natural immune
system to defend you from getting sick without any side effects. Here
