If you experience a bad cold that developed quite suddenly rather than gradually, it is very likely that you have influenza. Influenza develops just after a few hours after contact with the virus while a cold can take several hours before symptoms manifest. There is no real cure yet for influenza, only symptom relievers. If you’d rather pass on using decongestants and pain relievers, you can opt for electronic acupuncture instead for a safer way to treating your flu and its symptoms.
Common Symptoms of the Flu
Influenza has a lot more in common symptom-wise with the common cold. These symptoms include nasal congestion, sneezing, sore throat and runny nose. However, the flu has additional symptoms that the cold hasn’t. These extra symptoms are dry coughing, chills and sweat, aching muscles, headache and fever. Moreover, flu symptoms are so much more severe than cold symptoms.
Influenza is basically untreatable due to the fact that it is caused by a virus. You then need to be patient and allow it to run its course. However, you don’t have to suffer quietly from its symptoms. You can take over the counter drugs to battle the symptoms to get short term relief from these symptoms. With electronic acupuncture though, you can enjoy long-term relief without incurring the side effects of flu medications.
Overview of Electronic Acupuncture
Acupuncture is based on the idea that illness comes about due to blockages in the energy pathways called meridians located within the body. Acupuncture is used to remove these blockages to restore energy flow throughout the body. Acupuncture needles are the main tools used in traditional acupuncture and these are very thin and tiny needles that are inserted at various parts of the body to treat diseases. Electronic acupuncture, on the other hand, uses an electronic acupuncture device that is compact and portable with a wand where pulses of electromagnetic wave come from and delivered into certain acupuncture points located on the palm and hand to treat illnesses. The acupuncture points are shown on a hand map which serves as an aid in knowing what specific points to treat for certain types of illnesses.
You need to reference the map to locate the areas to be treated for your flu symptoms. If, for example, you want relief from your respiratory problems and fatigue, you can stimulate the points located on the palm side of your thumb where meridians corresponding to those symptoms are located. For cough and sore throat, acupuncture points to be stimulated are under the middle finger (on the palm-side) specifically the space between the index and middle finger.
When you have an electronic acupuncture device you not only can treat your flu symptoms but many other health conditions and illnesses as well. You can also use this device as a diagnostic tool that can aid in diagnosing illnesses. What’s more, electronic acupuncture can be performed at any time you desire and in the comfort of your own home. It is indeed an effective and very convenient treatment.
