  • Does acupuncture help you get over a cold?

    Acupuncture accelerates the recovery of flu, including coronavirus COVID-19. From common cold to flu, acupuncture has been useful in promoting a quicker recovery from fever, cough, and difficult breathing. Even with the new viral strains every season, acupuncture and herbs have been instrumental in keeping up with the changes although the formulas have not changed. Because COVID-19 is a variation of flu, it can be treated with the same methods. Acupuncture is a reliable way to quickly administer a treatment without having to go through the hassle of differential diagnosis because there are only two acupuncture point combinations. For an individual, one of these acupuncture formulas is optimal. Simply, the practitioner chooses one of two options from Yang Horary acupuncture points. In addition, choose only either right or left side of the body to place acupuncture needles. Do not give bilateral acupuncture because many people do not have a mirror image of the same points on both sides of the body. Besides, one-sided treatment is as effective as a bilateral treatment.
