Is it me, or is there a copious amount of tree pollen tumbleweed rolling down the streets and into the air? Many patients have been suffering this week - patients who don't normally get allergies. How can Acupuncture help?
Acupuncture helps strengthen your immune system which in turn can help your response to allergens. Allergy symptoms such as itchy eyes, runny nose, congestion, fatigue, headache, and post nasal drip will sometimes be immediately alleviated, or take a few sessions.
how does it work?
Acupuncture strengthens your immune system and helps with common symptoms such as runny nose, itchy eyes, sneezing, and headaches. By working on the defensive level (in Chinese called Wei Qi level) acupuncture strengthens the body's ability to deal with the allergen. I also work on regulating the adrenal glands where our histamine response comes from, by calming the autonomic nervous system.
Acupuncture appointments before, during and after allergy season will make Spring a much more pleasant experience. So come in for your weekly dose of acupuncture and get out and smell the flowers!
