Treating Covid

Chinese Herbal Medicine (CHM) and Acupuncture have been used to treat viruses for many centuries. There is, therefore, a wealth of useful knowledge which we as practitioners have inherited which can be applied. Any virus, Covid 19 included, presents a challenge to the body. Within Chinese Medicine it is possible to see how the virus interacts with the different layers of the body and how the immune system tries to deal with it.

The CHM practitioner’s job is to assess how the disease is progressing and which layers of the body are being challenged - for example skin, joints, organs, circulatory system, nervous system - and how best to treat it. Everyone is unique and is therefore affected in their own unique way.

Herbs and acupuncture are specifically tailored to the patient and are both used to assist the body, mind and spirit back to wellness. This includes the post-viral stage when the body can be depleted and fatigued.
