Coronavirus onslaught!

Uncategorized

Wow, times they are getting crazy!

People are seriously losing their minds getting ready for the Coronavirus onslaught.  Erin went to Costco today (Monday), and it was like a Saturday, and everyone was loading up on water, toilet paper, and other essentials.  

There are a ton of ways to build your immune system, but we always want to think along the lines of what we can do structurally, chemically, and emotionally to balance our bodies so that we don't get sick.

Obviously, I believe getting adjusted can help you stay well and function optimally (Video of Dan Murphy DC, talking about chiropractic and 1918 flu). Let's talk about what we can do to keep ourselves healthy through the potential pandemic.  

Coronavirus or COVID-19 symptoms if you haven't googled them yet are shortness of breath, fever, and cough with an incubation period of 2-14 days.

So let us talk real quick about herbs and supplements that you may want to have on hand in case someone goes down sick.
