Acupuncture for Seasonal Allergies

Spring is in full bloom (at least here in the Bay Area) and a common complaint this time of year is seasonal allergies. We may love to see the trees in bloom and the wildflowers popping up everywhere, but many of us are feeling the physical effects of all that pollen in the air.

Acupuncture is an incredibly effective treatment for relieving many of the symptoms associated with seasonal allergies.

Common symptoms include:

  • Sneezing
  • Stuffy or runny nose
  • Itchy red or watery eyes
  • Scratchy throat
  • Sinus congestion and headaches
  • Poor sleep due to cough or congestion

If you are suffering from any of these symptoms, then acupuncture might just be your saving grace this season!

How Does it Work?

Acupuncture sends signals to the brain to help to regulate the body's immune response, calming down histamine levels that are in overdrive. I've seen acupuncture work in as little as 1-2 treatments for seasonal allergies, helping people get back to their work or hobbies and feeling good again quickly!

As a bonus, you get to take a nap and the acupuncture gives you a boost of serotonin, improving both your mood and your ability to sleep well, providing all around relief and improving your general wellness.
