Immune Support &
Post Covid Syndrome (PCS)
Several years into our global experience with COVID-19, we’ve come to understand a challenging condition known as "Long-Haul COVID." Affecting about 7.5% of U.S. adults, this syndrome persists beyond three months, presenting a range of prolonged symptoms.
With ongoing research into Long-Haul COVID, no specific medications or treatments have been established for this complex condition. It often impacts multiple organs, requiring a multidisciplinary approach from various specialists. However, many treatments currently focus on managing symptoms rather than addressing the root cause.
In June 2022, a study highlighted a remarkable case where a 50-year-old woman with long-haul COVID symptoms, including fatigue, chest pressure, and palpitations, experienced significant improvement after just 7 sessions of acupuncture and Chinese medicine. Acupuncture is known to enhance the body's healing processes, reduce inflammation, and stimulate immune function. For those dealing with long-haul COVID, acupuncture provides a holistic approach that integrates well with traditional multidisciplinary treatments, offering both immune system support and pain relief.
