Excellent Alternative for Allergies

Allergies are abnormal reactions of our immune system triggered by certain substances such as some pollens, dusts, foods, or medications. The conventional medical treatments include antihistamines, nasal decongestant sprays, or cortisone-based inhalers. While these drugs may relieve the symptoms, they do not address the root cause of the illness. Patients need to live with these drugs for the rest of their lives.

Acupuncture provides excellent results when treating allergies and allergy related conditions. The scientific research explains that acupuncture stimulates the body to release chemicals that boost the immune system. This strengthens the body’s resistance to the allergens and reduces the body’s antigen-antibody reaction, thus eliminating allergies, asthma, and sinusitis. The greatest advantage of acupuncture treatment is the management of allergies with one’s own healing power with minimum use of medications. Another advantage is it is a holistic treatment: while practitioners treat allergies, they also deal with the underlying emotional and physical causes of allergy.
