How Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine Can Help You Heal After Covid 19
Insights from Chicago’s Leading Acupuncturists, Herb + Ōhm
If you’re like many Chicagoans who have recovered from Covid 19, you may have some lingering symptoms that you just can’t shake, particularly the loss of taste and smell. Did you know that Traditional Chinese Medicine can help to treat such lingering symptoms while simultaneously increasing your overall health and well-being?
The following modalities employed at Herb + Ōhm in Chicago can be used individually and in concert to restore balance and health to the organ systems impacted by the Covid 19 virus:
• Acupunture - a healing technique that aims to stimulate the body's immune system and strengthen its ability to heal itself, typically involving the insertion of fine, sterile needles at precise points that correspond to specific bodily ailments or imbalances.
• Gua Sha - a technique in which a specialized tool is gently rubbed on the skin to release muscle tension, tightness, constriction, and pain. Many liken Gua Sha to deep tissue massage.
• Cupping - a therapy that involves placing cups on the skin to create a suction that stimulates the flow of blood within the superficial muscle layers, promoting cell repair.
• Moxibustion - used to gently stimulate acupuncture points for quicker healing, moxibustion involves burning the Mugwort herb and applying the resulting heat to specific acupuncture points on the body.
For Herb + Ōhm patients undergoing any combination of the above treatments who are experiencing long haul Covid 19 symptoms, they can look forward to some of the following benefits:
Improved energy
Cough reduction
A decrease in chest pain and discomfort
Improved mood
Decrease in head or muscle aches
