Can Acupuncture Help Your Seasonal Allergies?

March 20, 2015 - PRLog -- Seasonal allergies, allergic rhinitis or hay fever is a relatively exterior sign of an internal weakened or imbalanced immune system.  An allergic reaction is a learned response by the immune system where rapid physiological changes result in itchy throat, itchy/red eyes, sinus congestion, sneezing and hives. When our defensive cells are stimulated, they release a number of chemicals, one of them being histamine - a major reason in generating the allergic symptoms.

Acupuncture focuses on restoring balance to the body, improving immune system functioning, helping to relieve pain, reducing stress, enhancing blood circulation, and promoting overall health and well being in adults and children. It is a natural therapy that does not requires any drug and is highly effective when performed by an experienced practitioner.

Seasonal snifflers who got needled by an acupuncturist 12 times over the course of eight weeks showed more improvement in their symptoms and used medication less frequently than people who didn't get acupuncture or got a sham treatment, according to one clinical trial published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine teaches that acupuncture treatments can help bring the body into balance.

Acupuncture can be your new drug-free way of bringing your body to a healthier state and beat the allergy season. Patient's will notice a decrease in their symptoms most likely after the first treatment.
