Why You're Always Getting Sick And: How Acupuncture and Herbs Can Help

Do you ever feel like you just can’t catch a break?

One cold clears up… and bam — you’re knocked back down with another one.
You finally start feeling a bit more human, and boom — it’s a sore throat, random fatigue, or some annoying new thing you have to "push through."

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. And more importantly — your body is trying to tell you something.
It’s not just bad luck. It’s a sign that your immune system (what Traditional Chinese Medicine calls your "defensive Qi") is struggling to hold the fort.

At our clinic, we often help people just like you — the ones who are sick of being sick — by using a combination of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine to build your body’s resilience from the inside out.

So What’s Actually Going On?

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), constant colds, random sweats (even when you’re not doing anything), and low-level tiredness are classic signs of a deficiency in your defensive Qi.
Think of defensive Qi like your body's "energetic shield" — it keeps bugs, viruses, and general daily stress at bay.
When that shield is thin or patchy, you’re wide open for anything going around.

The good news?
We can rebuild it.

One of Our Secret Weapons: Yu Ping Feng San

Yu Ping Feng San is a classic Chinese herbal formula we use to help people who just keep getting sick.
It’s a blend designed to:

  • Strengthen your immune system (defensive Qi)

  • Reduce how easily you catch colds

  • Help stop spontaneous sweating

  • Boost your overall energy and resilience

It’s been used for centuries — and still works today for modern life when your nervous system is frazzled, your stress is high, and your immune system is running on fumes.

How Acupuncture Fits In

Alongside herbs, acupuncture helps calm your nervous system and regulate your body's natural healing processes.
It's like hitting the “reset” button:

  • Boosts immune function

  • Improves sleep and recovery

  • Reduces inflammation

  • Balances your energy (so you don’t feel wired-tired all the time)

Most of our patients tell us they don’t just feel physically better — they also feel calmer, more clear-headed, and actually rested for the first time in ages.

You Don't Have to Keep “Pushing Through”

Imagine what it would feel like to wake up and actually stay healthy for more than a few weeks at a time.

Imagine not always being the one cancelling plans, or feeling like you're dragging your feet through life, half-run-down.

You deserve more than just surviving.

If you’re ready to stop the cycle and actually build a stronger, more resilient version of you —
book in for a consultation today.
We’ll help you get off the rollercoaster and start building your shield back up.
