Covid Long: How can complementary therapies help you regain your energy?

Covid long affects many people, leaving behind persistent fatigue, respiratory problems, widespread pain and difficulty concentrating. Complementary approaches can accompany those suffering from these symptoms and help them regain well-being and vitality.

What is covid long?

The World Health Organization (WHO) (https://www.who.int/fr) defines Long Covid as a condition in which symptoms last for more than 12 weeks after the initial infection and cannot be explained by any other cause.
In other words, long Covid, or post-Covid syndrome, refers to the set of symptoms that persist after infection with Covid-19, sometimes for several months. It can affect anyone who has been infected, including those with a mild form of the virus.

What are the symptoms of a long covid?

• Symptoms vary from person to person but often include:
• Intense, persistent fatigue,
• Muscle and joint pain,
• Cognitive disorders (mental fog, memory loss, concentration difficulties),
• Breathing problems such as shortness of breath or chest tightness,
• Sleep and mood disorders (anxiety, depression),
• Loss of taste and smell
  These symptoms can have a considerable impact on quality of life, and require special care.

When should you consult your doctor?

If symptoms persist, worsen or affect your daily life, it's essential to consult your doctor. A medical assessment will help identify any complications, rule out other possible causes and consider further treatment tailored to your situation.

Our therapeutic approaches

What solutions does Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offer?

TCM is based on an energetic approach to the body, aimed at restoring harmony between the various vital functions.
In cases of long-standing Covid, TCM offers natural, individualized solutions to help restore balance and well-being:

• Acupuncture: By stimulating specific points on the body, acupuncture activates the circulation of Qi (vital energy), reduces chronic fatigue and boosts immunity. It can also improve sleep quality and relieve muscular tension.
• Tui Na massage: This energetic massage, based on the meridians and acupuncture points, promotes better blood and lymph circulation, reduces muscle and joint pain and improves the patient's general condition.
• Chinese pharmacopoeia: the use of medicinal plants adapted to the patient's symptoms helps to drain toxins, support metabolism, improve digestion and strengthen the body's natural defenses.
  We can work on the pulmonary, nervous and ENT spheres to reduce the various symptoms.
• Qi Gong classes: The gentle movements and deep breathing of this practice boost the body's energy, soothe stress and improve oxygenation, helping to combat persistent fatigue.

What can bioresonance do for me?

Bioresonance is based on the analysis and reharmonization of the body's electromagnetic frequencies. Using a special device, bioresonance acts on :

• Immune system support: detects imbalances and stimulates the body's ability to self-regenerate.
• Inflammation reduction: helps reduce chronic inflammatory reactions responsible for fatigue and persistent pain.
• Toxin elimination: by optimizing the functioning of filtering organs such as the liver and kidneys, it promotes the elimination of viral residues.

How can breathing classes help me with my long covid?

Respiratory problems and fatigue are common among people with long Covid. Our breathing sessions will :

• Improve lung capacity and oxygenation: thanks to controlled breathing exercises, it is possible to regain functional breathing, reducing hyperventilation and improving tissue oxygenation.
• Soothe the nervous system and reduce stress: lighter, controlled breathing activates the parasympathetic system, helping to calm anxiety, improve sleep and reduce chest tightness.
• Regain vitality in everyday life: by optimizing breath and the circulation of vital energy, these techniques help reduce persistent fatigue and promote faster recovery.
• Improve effort management: specific exercises optimize effort tolerance by reducing breathlessness and optimizing the use of oxygen by muscles, making it easier to resume physical activity.
