Recovery after COVID-19 with acupuncture

2. Current affairs

Many people continue to experience symptoms for a long time after recovering from a COVID-19 infection. Even if the infection itself was accompanied by few acute symptoms, the aftermath can be prolonged. People experience respiratory issues, recurring fevers, chills, and (muscle) pain. Loss of smell can persist for a long time. Patients report gastrointestinal issues (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), ear and throat pain, and coughing. Persistent fatigue, loss of strength, and concentration and memory problems make it difficult to get back on track. And this occurs in both young and old, without distinction.

Not Unique
Such a pattern, chronic fatigue and persistent complaints after a viral infection, is not unique. It is known as the post-viral syndrome, a rather elusive phenomenon, with many different expressions, and for which there is no pill. The body needs to find strength somewhere to work out the remnants of being sick. But how?

Acupuncture, Especially for You
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) excels at assessing individual symptoms and grouping them together like pieces of a puzzle. Based on this, the acupuncturist determines the imbalances present and which organ systems require support. This assessment guides the treatment, which may include acupuncture, moxibustion, herbs, exercise, and lifestyle advice. Everything is tailored precisely to your symptoms, your body, your energy. This approach empowers your body to permanently eliminate the illness and helps you regain the energy to climb out of the abyss.
