Scarf Weather

Time to pull out your scarf! Even though it’s been warm here in Charleston, we’re finally starting to see changes in the weather. With this seasonal transition comes greater susceptibility to the common cold.

In Chinese Medicine, “wind” is said to carry 1,000 diseases. Wind, which blows in and out of town quickly, is a great metaphor for the spread of viruses, including the common cold and flu. There are several points along the back of the neck and upper back that are especially vulnerable to the entrance of wind. Wearing a scarf helps you protect yourself from a wind (or viral) invasion and assists your body in coping with the change from a warm season to a cool one.

Should you come down with a cold or flu, consider acupuncture and herbs to help your body recover! Health coaching, herbs and acupuncture can also help you learn appropriate habits to keep you healthy this season.
