We encourage people to get vaccinated against COVID-19 as a general public health policy. We also encourage wearing a mask once indoors.

With the different variants on the horizon, there is still a slight chance of contracting COVID-19 even vaccinated, and the TCM approach is to treat it as an infectious disease.

Treatment principle will be reduce fever with herbs that clear heat and toxicity, resolve phlegm with herbs that are specific for that, expel wind as it is deemed an exterior pathogen, unblock nasal passages and strengthen Lungs or other involved organs using specific guiding herbs.

If your immune system is weak or have an autoimmune disorder, acupuncture is a great mean to regulate your immune system to be able to fight the disease if you catch it.
