Treat Influenza and Its Symptoms With Electronic Acupuncture

If you feel that you have a really bad cold, but the illness happened rather suddenly, chances are you have influenza. A cold develops gradually whereas the flu can happen within hours of exposure to the virus. Unfortunately, there is no cure for the flu, only stop gap treatments for its many symptoms. If you are weary about pumping yourself full of pain relievers and decongestants, consider electronic acupuncture to treat influenza and its symptoms.

Typical Flu Symptoms

Influenza typically mimics many of the symptoms of the common cold: runny nose, sore throat, sneezing and nasal congestion. However, the flu throws in a few more factors such as fever, headache, aching muscles, sweat and chills and even dry coughing. Overall, the symptoms feel like a bad cold times ten or twenty, depending on the severity of the infection.

Because the flu is a viral infection, you basically have to let it run its course. However, you do not necessarily have to grimace and bear it though. Sure, you can take over the counter medications to alleviate some of the symptoms but they are only short term solutions. Electronic acupuncture has the ability to treat influenza and its symptoms without invasive medications.

Traditional acupuncture uses tiny needles inserted along the body whereas the electronic version is in the form of a small handheld device with a wand that delivers electromagnetic wave impulses into specific points located on the hand and palm. These acupoints are shown on a hand map so that you can accurately pinpoint specific body functions.
