Acupuncture for Allergies

Do you suffer from allergies?

We've got you covered! Seasonal allergies affect one-third of all Americans. Over-the-counter medicines have side effects such as drowsiness, and daily nose sprays that contain steroids can damage the body’s natural healing abilities. Acupuncture can relieve allergy symptoms such as runny nose, itchy eyes, cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, and headaches, while also boosting the immune system. This helps the body find a natural rhythm to address the root cause of the allergies.

ACUPUNCTURE & TCM CAN HELP

Acupuncture is effective at treating both chronic and acute allergies, including reactions to environmental allergens and food. Symptoms of food allergies that acupuncture can relieve include fatigue, hives, eczema, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, nasal congestion, cough, and asthma. In a recent study, allergy patients received more symptom relief with acupuncture than with traditional Western medical treatments. Traditional Chinese herbal medicine can be used to give relief from symptoms between acupuncture treatments by helping to boost the immune system. Allergy symptoms respond quickly to an acupuncture treatment - often patients experience some relief during their first visit while still lying on the table with needles in place!

ACUPUNCTURE IN A NUTSHELL

Acupuncture, the most well-known traditional Chinese medical procedure, is the practice of inserting thin needles into the body at specific points to relieve pain or treat a disease. Acupuncture triggers spontaneous healing reactions in the body, and scientific studies have proven its efficacy for treating inflammation, pain, depression, and a host of other disorders.
