Indigo's Guide to Cold and Flu Season

We can’t avoid every bug that comes our way. What we can do is understand our bodies well enough to support them through the season.

This free guide shows how Chinese medicine looks at colds and flu. It doesn’t just look at symptoms. It looks at patterns, like Wind-Cold and Wind-Heat, and those patterns shape what kind of support makes sense.

Inside the guide:

• How Chinese medicine understands colds and flu, and why the pattern matters

• 5 traditional herbal formulas and the patterns each one is used for

• Everyday ways to support your Wei Qi (your defensive energy) with food, rest, and simple habits

• Other supports Chinese medicine offers, like acupuncture, cupping, and gua sha

Read it while you’re feeling well, so you know what to look for when something starts to come on.
