TCM Post Covid Conditions Relief
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approaches for post-COVID conditions aim to restore balance to the body's energy (Qi) and address specific symptoms. At Regis Wellness, we understand that post COVID conditions can be frustrating, and our dedicated team is here to guide you toward natural and comprehensive relief.
Herbal Medicine
TCM utilises herbal formulations tailored to an individual's symptoms and constitution. Immune-boosting herbs like astragalus and ginseng may be prescribed to strengthen the body's defenses. Adaptogenic herbs such as Chinese yam and Reishi may help the body adapt to stress and support overall well-being.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin needles into specific acupuncture points to balance the body's energy flow. It can be used to address a range of post-COVID symptoms, including fatigue, respiratory issues, and cognitive difficulties. Electroacupuncture, a technique involving electrical stimulation of acupuncture needles, may be used for certain conditions.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping involves creating suction on the skin using cups to promote blood flow and alleviate muscle tension. It can be beneficial for relieving pain, including joint and muscle pain associated with post-COVID conditions.
Diet and Nutrition Recommendations
TCM emphasises the importance of a balanced and nourishing diet. Our TCM practitioners may recommend specific foods based on individual symptoms and the principles of TCM, such as incorporating warming foods for energy.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion involves the burning of dried mugwort near specific acupuncture points to warm and stimulate energy flow.
It may be used to strengthen the immune system and address cold or damp conditions.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha involves scraping the skin with a tool to stimulate blood flow and promote healing. It can be used to alleviate muscle pain, improve circulation, and support overall recovery.
Lifestyle Recommendations
Regis Wellness TCM practitioners may provide guidance on lifestyle factors, such as stress management, sleep hygiene, and exercise, to support overall well-being.

What is TCM Post COVID Relief
TCM post-COVID relief refers to a holistic approach to support individuals who have recovered from COVID-19 but are experiencing lingering symptoms or challenges during the recovery phase. TCM, with its roots in ancient Chinese medical practices, focuses on restoring balance to the body's vital energy (Qi) and addressing specific patterns of disharmony.
Common Post COVID Conditions
- Fatigue - Persistent and profound fatigue is a common complaint, often affecting daily activities and overall energy levels.
- Shortness of Breath - Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath may persist, even in individuals who did not experience severe respiratory symptoms during the acute phase.
- Cognitive Issues ("Brain Fog") - Many individuals report cognitive difficulties, including memory problems, difficulty concentrating, and a general sense of mental fog.
- Joint and Muscle Pain - Ongoing joint and muscle pain, similar to symptoms during the acute phase of COVID-19, can continue to affect individuals in the post-recovery period.
- Headaches - Chronic headaches or migraines may persist, contributing to discomfort and reduced quality of life.
- Loss of Taste or Smell - While loss of taste or smell is often associated with the acute phase, some individuals continue to experience these issues during the post-COVID period.
- Sleep Disturbances - Insomnia or disrupted sleep patterns, including difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, are common post-COVID symptoms.
- Heart Palpitations and Chest Pain - Some individuals may experience heart palpitations or chest pain, even if they did not have significant heart-related symptoms during the acute phase.
- Gastrointestinal Issues - Digestive problems such as nausea, diarrhea, or abdominal pain may persist in some individuals.
- Mood Disorders - Anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders can manifest during the post-COVID period, potentially due to the physical and emotional toll of the illness.
- Persistent Cough - A lingering cough may persist even after the respiratory symptoms of the acute phase have resolved.
- Dizziness and Lightheadedness - Some individuals report ongoing issues with dizziness or lightheadedness, affecting balance and overall well-being.
Causes of Post COVID Conditions from TCM Perspective
Lingering Pathogens (残留病原体)
TCM acknowledges the presence of lingering pathogens in the body even after the acute infection has resolved. These lingering pathogens can disrupt the flow of Qi and contribute to persistent symptoms.
Imbalances in Yin and Yang (阴阳失调)
TCM emphasises the balance of Yin and Yang energies in the body. Imbalances, such as excess heat or deficiencies in Yin, may contribute to symptoms like inflammation, fever, or dryness during and after COVID-19.
Weakness of Qi and Wei Qi （卫气虚）
Wei Qi, the defensive energy that protects the body from external pathogens, may be weakened during and after COVID-19. This weakness can lead to susceptibility to recurrent infections or lingering symptoms.
Residual Heat and Dampness（残余热气和湿气）
TCM recognises the presence of residual heat and dampness in the body following an infection. These factors may contribute to symptoms such as fatigue, joint pain, and digestive issues.
