Respiratory Conditions
Here’s an interesting fact about the drug Tamiflu, used to treat flu symptoms and respiratory conditions – it is derived from the star anise, an anti-viral plant used in Chinese Medicine for centuries.
To help you catch that cold at the very early stages and knock on the head before it even starts – look out for:
unusual fatigue for no particular reason
feeling colder than everyone around you, having an aversion to air-conditioning, fans or cold breezes
aching through your neck and shoulders for no particular reason – no a massage won’t fix it!
your throat becoming dry and scratchy
Time to act and quickly!
Try a hot ginger drink before bed – 3 slices of fresh ginger root, freshly squeezed juice of one lemon, hot water and honey to taste.
This will make you sweat (which is a good thing – it means the body is winning the fight) and hopefully prevent anything from developing. Try it – you’ve got nothing to lose and it’s very helpful for a developing respiratory condition.
These are the very first symptoms of a cold and/or flu. Followed by a sore throat, hot and cold symptoms, headaches, coughing, etc. Now you need supportive treatment and lots of REST.
You see, when it comes to staying healthy during the flu season, traditional Chinese medicines, such as acupuncture therapy and Chinese Herbal medicine therapy, have a lot to offer.
Acupuncture therapy, shiatsu therapy, reflexology therapy and Chinese Herbal medicine therapy can bolster the immune system to help keep the lurgies at bay, or – if you’re already infected – reduce the severity and length of your symptoms.

PROFESSIONAL EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICE
Under Australian National Law, claims of efficacy of treatment are required to be made with reference to research of a high standard.
Traditionally Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years, in many countries, world wide to assist with a wide range of conditions. However, not all have evidence of efficacy that meet Australian National Law requirements.
I have therefore grouped and colour coded the conditions treated into three different areas, as follows:
*STRONG EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE EFFICACY OF ACUPUNCTURE
**MODERATE EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE EFFICACY OF ACUPUNCTURE
***WEAK POSITIVE / UNCLEAR EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE EFFICACY OF ACUPUNCTURE
Additional conditions may potentially benefit from using Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, however western scientific evidence may not yet exist for these.
