SEASONAL HEALTH NOTES:
So far, we are having a wonderful winter:  snow is much lighter than normal,  and the
temperature is higher than average.  But the warm weather also allows germs to keep
flourishing.  Many people are suffering from dry cough, sore throat, or diarrhea due to the dry
weather in combination with rich holiday food.  If you are one of them, you can do the
following to help yourself.

1. Try not to eat too much spicy food.  Spicy food can make the heat and dryness in your body
worse, which can cause dry throat, dry stools, hemorrhoids, etc.

2. Try not to eat too much greasy, fried, rich, or oily dishes such as pizza and cheesecake.  
Greasy foods can lead to heat accumulating in the body. Heat build-up causes sore throat
and leads to dampness in the stomach, which in turn leads to acid reflex, vomiting and
diarrhea.  

3. If you feel that your throat feels dry, try eating
steamed pears with honey to cool and
moisturize your breathing pathways along the throat and lungs.
If you start suffering sinusitis or coughing, come get an acupuncture treatment.  It is the best
and fastest way to get rid of painful plugged ears, dizziness and coughing.
