ACHOO!!
Spring is finally here. For so many, springtime means seasonal allergies again.
Along with the beautiful flowers and blossoming trees, so many people develop itchy, burning, red and teary eyes, runny noses, frequent sneezing, cough, congestion, wheezing, and---just plain misery!
Acupuncture can be Remarkably Effective in Treating Seasonal Allergies
Acupuncture treatment for seasonal allergies can be surprisingly quick and effective. In as few as 3-5 sessions, many people are amazed at how effective acupuncture can be at relieving their symptoms. This is especially true after being disappointed with the problems of western medicine’s largely pharmaceutical approach to seasonal allergies. Frequently medicines can be reduced or even stopped.
Traditional Treatment
The usual western medicine approaches to seasonal allergies are allergy shots, steroids, and antihistamines. All these have the potential to help, but they all have side-effects of one kind or another----drowsiness, fatigue, light-headedness, dry mouth, insomnia, nervousness, or G-I disturbances. They can be costly as well as time-consuming (go to the doctor’s office, wait to be examined, go to the pharmacy, wait for your prescription, take your pills, wait for the response, then wait for the side-effects!).
Isn’t there a better way?
Yes there is---medical acupuncture!
Medical Acupuncture
For thousands of years the Chinese have used acupuncture to treat and correct the cause of all types of allergies. That cause, according to traditional Chinese medical thought, is an outside attack upon the body’s protective energy, or Qi (Chi). Using tiny, almost painless needles to stimulate and strengthen the body’s immune system restores the free flow of Qi energy, allows our bodies to expel toxins that have accumulated, and stimulates our bodies’ “internal pharmacy” to produce the natural neuro-chemicals needed to allow us to heal.
So consider acupuncture to resolve your seasonal allergies and help you to really enjoy the newly blossoming trees and flowers once again.
