How gO2 therapy can help you during the “Viral” season?

Every year during this time of the year when the season is about to change flu activity begins to increase. While influenza viruses circulate year-round, most flu activity peaks between December and February, but activity can last as late as May. This time of the year is commonly referred to as “Viral” Season”. While everybody knows that it’s important to drink lots of fluids and get plenty of rest if you feel sick or run down, did you also know that gO2 therapy, 99% pure oxygen, can also help you feel better?

In addition to flu viruses, several other respiratory viruses also circulate during the viral season and can cause symptoms and illnesses similar to those seen with viral fever.
