Cold and flu season has started, and we're already seeing it in the office. One scratchy throat at home turns into a house full of sick people, and the pharmacy shelf only masks symptoms.

Chinese medicine offers a better approach: the Root & Branch Method. Strengthen your defenses first so you're less likely to get sick, and if you do catch something, keep it mild and brief.

​

The Root & Branch Cold & Flu Season Kit
Our patients have used this kit at home for over ten years. Everything in one box, ready to use.

 

Prevent:

• Defensive:-energy herbal formula: strengthens your wei qi (protective energy) which is what stops you from getting sick in the first place. Take daily, October through spring to prevent infection.

• Vitamin D: directly affects immune function to fight infections. Research links low vitamin D levels to more frequent colds and respiratory infections. A large analysis in the BMJ found that taking vitamin D lowered the risk of respiratory infections, with the biggest benefit in people who were low to begin with. That describes most of us from October through April. Our advice: ask your doctor to check your vitamin D level at your next visit (they should be checking it anyway). Most people need to supplement Vitamin D to keep it in the optimal range for immune function.

 

Prevent & treat:

• Antiviral Cream: our most popular product loaded with anti-viral essential oils and developed by a doctor. Use it before travel or exposure, put on the kids prior to school or daycare, or at the first tickle in your throat, and use on the whole family if anyone gets sick.

• Homeopathic remedy: once weekly for flu season and at the first sign of symptoms.

 

We are offering these 4 Prevent & Treat remedies as a package, enough to support the whole family.  Detailed instructions will come with the kit, including dosing for children.
