Holistic Care for Long COVID Recovery

Supporting Patients with Chronic Post-Viral Symptoms

Dr. Boya Ma, DAOM, L.Ac., has been at the forefront of integrative care for patients suffering from long COVID. Since the early stages of the pandemic, she has helped numerous individuals navigate the lingering and often confusing symptoms that persist long after the initial infection has passed. Her approach combines classical Chinese medicine with modern clinical insight, offering a personalized, whole-body pathway to recovery.

Over the past several years, Dr. Ma has successfully treated patients experiencing a wide range of long COVID symptoms, including:

Loss of smell (anosmia): Through targeted acupuncture protocols and herbal support, Dr. Ma has helped patients gradually regain olfactory function, even months after COVID-related loss.

Chronic fatigue and full-body pain: Recognizing these as signs of qi deficiency, blood stagnation, or residual heat and dampness, she tailors treatments to restore energy, alleviate muscle and joint pain, and rebalance the body.

Heart palpitations: Often linked to post-viral disturbances in Heart qi and blood, palpitations are addressed through acupuncture and herbs that calm the spirit and regulate circulation.

Abdominal discomfort and digestive issues: Post-COVID inflammation and disruption of the Spleen and Stomach systems are treated with gentle, regulating therapies to relieve bloating, cramping, and irregular bowel habits.

Delayed or disrupted menstrual cycles: Dr. Ma applies principles of gynecological Chinese medicine to restore harmony to the Liver, Kidney, and Chong/Ren channels, supporting regular and pain-free menstruation.

By integrating detailed pulse diagnosis, Five Yun Six Qi theory, and pattern differentiation, Dr. Ma identifies the root imbalances underlying each patient’s long COVID presentation. Her goal is not just symptom relief, but full physiological recovery and prevention of long-term complications.

If you or someone you know is still experiencing lingering effects of COVID-19, Dr. Ma offers a compassionate, effective, and individualized path to healing.
