Spring is right around the corner, which means that the grueling side effects of hay fever are coming along too. In order to prepare your immune system for the months ahead the best time to treat seasonal diseases is during the season before. Even though your eyes may not be itchy yet and your nose is still not stuffy, early treatment now could help nip those nasty symptoms in the bud. It's go time!
How does acupuncture for seasonal allergies work? Clinical studies show that acupuncture can help regulate two chemicals that are triggered during allergic reactions- IgE and Cytokines. In addition, the powerful anti-inflammatory effects of acupuncture offer symptomatic relief by promoting circulation and reducing pain and discomfort in local effected areas.
Furthermore, did you know that allergy flare-ups have been linked to stress? The more you stress, the more you sneeze! But you're in luck. Acupuncture can help reduce stress by stimulating "feel-good" hormones called endorphins, and balancing neurotransmitters.
If over the counter allergy medications cause you unwanted side-effects, and you're looking for a balanced way to help keep your body in check this coming allergy season, consider adding acupuncture to your health regimen.
