One Acupuncture - North Devon

Seeing so many lingering spring COUGHS and post-viral
CHEST SYMPTOMS in clinic right now.

This is actually one of the herbal formulas I use myself, my family use, and many of my patients regularly keep in the cupboard at home, especially for those lingering “can’t quite shift it” coughs, throat irritation, mucus or chest tightness that can hang around after a virus.

Stress can also play a role in these patterns, which is one reason I find this formula so helpful clinically.

You can find more details over on the VitaliQi clinic page below and orders can be placed there too and posted to you 🌿

Spring cough lingering? 🌿

This season, we are seeing a lot of persistent post-viral coughs, chest irritation, throat tickles and lingering mucus that seem to hang on long after the initial illness has passed.

Ban Xia Hou Pu Tang is a traditional herbal formula often used to support the lungs and throat when there is:

✔ Persistent cough or throat irritation
✔ Sensation of mucus or something “stuck” in the throat
✔ Chest tightness or wheezing
✔ Post-viral lingering symptoms
✔ Stress aggravating cough symptoms

Many people find they only need support for a short period, especially when started early.

Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Available from our Herbal Medicine Pharmacy at VitaliQi in Barnstaple, or simply order online.

Food as Medicine – a timely reminder

I may have first shared this soup back in winter 2018, but with so much lurgy around, and that lingering post-viral fatigue many people are still feeling, it feels more relevant than ever.

This is a simple reminder of the power of good FOOD as MEDICINE.

In Chinese medicine:

🫚 Ginger gently warms the digestion and supports the Spleen system, helping your body transform food into energy and resilience.

🧄 Garlic powerfully supports the Lung system, our frontline defence when it comes to immunity and recovery.

Together, the Spleen and Lung form the Tai Yin in Classical Chinese Medicine, the foundation of strong immunity, vitality and recovery after illness.

This nourishing soup is one of my go-to recommendations when you feel run down, are fighting something off, or want to support your body naturally during the colder months.

Sometimes the most effective medicine really does start in the kitchen.

✨ Warm
✨ Simple
✨ Deeply supportive

If you’d like personalised advice on using food and Chinese medicine to support your health and immunity, I’d be very happy to help.
