Acupuncture and Herbal Formulas Could Help Relieving Aftereffects of COVID-19

Symptoms due to Post-COVID could be relieved after sessions of acupuncture and herbal formula treatment.

Acupuncture treatment is well recognized for treating acute, neurologic, or orthopedic symptoms, and herbal formulas help most symptoms such as muscular, emotional, sensory, digestive problems and restore vital energy from fatigue. I also have cases of successfully helping patients suffering from the symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, loss of taste, loss of hearing, loss of smell, etc.

If you have symptoms but are unsure why the symptoms started, contact me and have a consultation first.

If you have one or more prolonged symptoms after recovering from COVID-19, it could be a Long COVID or Post-COVID Conditions.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CDC recently defined that “Some people who have been infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 can experience long-term effects from their infection, known as post-COVID conditions (PCC) or long COVID.

People call post-COVID conditions by many names, including long COVID, long-haul COVID, post-acute COVID-19, and post-acute sequelae of SARS CoV-2 infection (PASC), long-term effects of COVID, and chronic COVID.”
