About COVID, Flu + Virus
Chinese Medicine has much to offer when it comes to endlessly mutating infectious diseases.
What’s different with the Chinese Medicine approach?
It’s the point of view.
While conventional medicine seeks to identify and understand each new variant, creating variant-specific vaccines and treatments…Chinese Medicine takes a fundamentally different approach.
Rather than focus on the continually changing virus, Chinese Medicine keeps its eye on the body’s reaction to the virus.
While the virus may present in a new unpredictable form, your body responds to it with the same familiar set of reactions as it did thousands of years ago: fever, cough, aches, congestion, and so on.
So in Chinese medicine, it's not about what the disease IS, but how you are REACTING to it. And those reactions tell us what is going on in your body, and how to treat you.
So instead of ‘killing’ anything, we support your body’s innate ability to deal with invasion. We support the processes that expel the pathogen, and then clean up the damaged areas in the wake of the infection.
Again, it’s about YOU, not the disease.
If the lungs are congested, we help clear them; if there is fever we treat it… Then your body can work effectively to take care of itself, whether it is coronavirus, flu, common cold or something else.
This way, not only does the treatment take into account your very specific pattern of symptoms, but we can also begin to treat immediately, based on your symptoms and reaction, even before the pathogen is identified or understood, before the new vaccine or antiviral medication is developed.
While labs race to be first to identify the pathogen and develop a treatment, I am already helping my family and clients to relieve the symptoms and reduce the long term effects.
The After Effects - Long Covid and Post-Flu
We’ve all had the experience of being ‘clear’ of the virus, testing negative, but still feeling like total crap for weeks afterward. I call this “leftovers”.
That’s because killing off the virus is only part of the process.
It’s absolutely essential to return your body back to normal healthy functioning after the virus is gone. This is a crucial step, one that seems too often to be ignored.
And that’s why people suffer for weeks, or even months, after being “sick”.
That’s what Long Covid is about.
The treatment is not complete, your body is still thrown off by the illness, and has not recovered as fully as it could.
There are still the after-effects to deal with. We need to restore all the damaged processes back to their healthy functioning in the system.
We need to clear that lingering cough, that persistent congestion, the fatigue…
We need to line up all the dominos that were knocked over by the illness.
How do we do that?
Again, we focus on your reactions.. Which dominos are down, and need to be restored? What needs to be cleared or supported for all your systems to get back to free and easy functioning?
Often we are hit hardest where our constitutions are most vulnerable. So we work in these areas.
A weak immune system gets strengthened, what’s inhibiting healthy immunity gets cleared out.
If you have a tendency to produce a lot of congestion, we are going to clear away the congestion, but also look at why you produce congestion, and work to slow down production.
If you easily get a cough, we will work to stop the cough, then continue on to strengthen and support your lungs to relieve the tendency to cough.
We look at what’s not working, and support that.
It’s a whole system approach. We not only expel the pathogen, and treat your symptoms, but take a whole body approach for the health and healing of the entire system.
When your body’s systems are up and running as they should, they will support each other, leading to enhanced health and immunity.
So that’s what we do. You can too.
