Feng's points would more than likely be helpful and, for reference, you can read through our auricular acupuncture section. That said, acupuncture treats "patterns" and not conditions, particularly largely suggestive "conditions" such as "adrenal exhaustion" and "candida" which are really more terms for a set of symptoms that vary so much from person to person making the western "diagnoses" near irrelevant in my opinion. My point for stating this, however, is not to debate these terms but to express the importance of you finding someone to properly diagnose you in Chinese Medicine terminology which will then make finding the appropriate points much easier.
Uses:Cold, Flu, Cough, Congestion. Gan Mao Ling, literally "common cold effective remedy" in Chinese, is a Chinese herbal medicine formulated for common cold and flu. It is traditionally used to help relieve symptoms of common cold and flu such as sore throat, runny nose, nasal congestion, cough, and headache. It is also used to treat acute upper respiratory tract infections, mild bronchitis, tracheitis, and tinsillitis.
