Acupuncture: an effective remedy for allergies

Acupuncture and allergy

Many people are often afflicted with seasonal allergies and suffer from stuffy nose, snot and sneezing. Seasonal allergies occur when the body's immune system becomes sensitive and overreacts to external allergens. The most common cause of seasonal allergies is pollen from plants of wind, plants, such as weeds, trees and grasses, which cause allergic reactions. Let's take a quick look at the symptoms of allergies:

Seasonal allergy symptoms

•sneeze

• runny nose or stuffy nose

• Eyes are watery and itchy

• Irritating sinus, throat or ear canal

• Ear congestion and ringing

• Post-nasal drip

• Acid reflux

• Rash

These symptoms can make you feel weak and anxious, because when you can't get enough oxygen because of a stuffy nose, your nervous system becomes allergic. At this point, you should seek acupuncture treatment to prevent seasonal allergens from causing symptoms of hay fever.

How does acupuncture work?

Acupuncture helps maintain an important energy flow through the body's meridians. These meridians are the channels that serve all organs, muscles, nerves and body surfaces. Energy flows through these meridians into the body, balancing your immune system and nervous system. However, allergies block the meridians and impede energy flow, causing inflammation and infection. Acupuncture helps restore smooth energy flow by placing fine needles on the meridian. These needles can reduce the histamine released by mast cells by balancing the immune system and the nervous system. Acupuncture can also improve digestion and reduce histamine release, as undigested foods often trigger an immune response.

This Chinese program is performed by a trained acupuncturist who gently places the thin needles of the hair under the skin of different parts of the body. The duration of treatment varies from person to person, depending on the condition being treated. In addition, it depends on your body's response to treatment. If a person has a stronger digestive system and less stress, he/she will need 6 to 10 treatments to get rid of their allergies. Otherwise, more sessions will be needed.

How long does the effect of acupuncture last?

The effects of acupuncture can last up to 12 months. However, its actual efficacy depends on factors such as the nature or severity of the patient's symptoms and their duration.

The effects of acupuncture and healing time vary from person to person. For some people, the time to treat seasonal allergies may be longer, and for others, it may be less. The longer a person has symptoms, the longer it takes to heal the problem. Most of the time, the body needs some time to cope with new treatments and may require multiple acupuncture treatments for the disease. As symptoms improve, less targeted acupuncture treatment is needed. Therefore, if you have seasonal allergies, it is recommended that you seek acupuncture to restore energy flow and eliminate allergic substances.
