Common Cold

Acupuncture can be an effective treatment for the common cold - a natural way to boost the body's defences.

Acupuncture treatment can be an effective way to speed up recovery from a cold.  Additional treatments like cupping may be used to complement acupuncture.

Regular maintenance treatments (every 4-6 weeks, or at seasonal changes) are beneficial for people who are prone to catching colds.  Acupuncture can work as a preventative measure, boosting the body’s immune system to reduce the likelihood of catching a cold.
