People ask me every year why they always seem to get run down when the seasons change. Part of it is exposure, since everyone's back indoors and in closer quarters. Part of it is that sleep and stress both tend to get worse this time of year, and each of those affects how well your body copes with anything else.
Acupuncture isn't a substitute for rest, good food, or anything your doctor recommends, and I can't promise it'll keep you from getting sick. What it can do is help with the things that wear you down first, including poor sleep, ongoing stress, and pain that keeps you from moving much.
