Warm weather is approaching and along with the warmer weather comes blooming flowers and plants — as well as seasonal allergies. Are you being affected by seasonal allergies?
Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine can help with seasonal allergies
Acupuncture treatments can help relieve seasonal allergies and boost the immune system quickly. Specific acupuncture points can be used to help minimize allergies, colds, and flu and bring some needed relief. An acupuncture point can also help reduce/get rid of phlegm. Focusing on this particular point helps rid your body of excess mucus.
Many allergy sufferers find that medications can become less effective over time and/or they end up having a host of unpleasant side effects
While it can seem easier -or certainly be tempting – to reach for ‘over-the-counter-advertised-on-TV’ allergy medications (typically anti-histamines and bronchodilators) — these might not always be the best choice. Many of these medications can suppress a person’s immune system, plus do nothing to alleviate the underlying issue. Something to consider — do we really want to suppress our immune system?
While some very specific acupuncture points can help with allergy issues, in general, all acupuncture points work to help strengthen the overall immune system, regulate the body, and improve circulation. Getting acupuncture treatments, even if you can only manage to get them seasonally, can help the immune system become stronger and can help a person stay healthier.
