Chiropractic and Your Immune System in Olympia Wa

What to do when you're not feeling well

Get Adjusted 

It is very important to make sure your nervous system is clear of nerve interference (spinal subluxations) in order to allow your body to process through that cold or flu better. Having a fever, runny nose, drowsiness or coughing are normal body responses to fighting off your sickness. Instead of killing your symptoms, get adjusted to help your body fight through it quicker! 

Hydrate 

Drinking water regularly will help you to rehydrate. Your body requires fluids in order to replenish itself.

Rest

Your body is most likely run down from fighting off the cold or flu and in need of much needed sleep. Rest as much as possible, and allow your body to do its job and heal.

Natural Remedies

There are natural remedies that have known immune boosting properties. These include Vitamin C, Vitamin E, garlic (anti-bacterial), oil of oregano, echinacea, ginger (good for stomach), ginseng, and more. Check in with your local Health Market or Co-op and ask a trained professional to help you find the right natural remedy for you or your child.
