Acupuncture for Colds and Flu
A Natural Way to Boost Immunity and Stay Well
If you live or work in Westminster, you’ll know cold and flu season can hit hard, packed tubes, busy offices, constant contact with people, and the fast-paced city lifestyle all put pressure on the immune system.
More and more people in Westminster are now turning to acupuncture as a natural way to:
strengthen immunity,
prevent frequent colds,
recover faster from flu, and
reduce winter fatigue.
At Cicely’s clinic, acupuncture is used not only as a treatment, but as a preventative tool to keep you healthier through the colder months.
How Acupuncture Helps With Colds and Flu
Boosts Your Immune System Naturally
Research shows acupuncture can help:
increase white blood cells,
reduce inflammation,
improve circulation,
regulate stress hormones that weaken immunity.
One of the main immunity points we use is ST36 (Stomach 36) , a point widely studied for strengthening the immune system. Studies even show it can help increase white blood cell count in people undergoing cancer treatment.
This point and others, can help your body fight off infections more effectively.
Speeds Up Recovery From Colds and Flu
If you’re already ill, acupuncture can help ease:
sinus congestion
headaches
sore throat
body aches
fatigue
cough
feverish feelings
Many Westminster patients report feeling clearer, more energised, and able to rest properly after a session.
Reduces Stress- One of the Biggest Immunity Killers
Living in Westminster often means long hours, pressure, and constant busyness. Chronic stress weakens your immune system.
Acupuncture activates the body’s rest-and-restore mode, allowing your system to reset, recover, and build resilience.
