Spring, as the season of growth, regeneration and new beginnings, is a great time to make a fresh start with your health.
If you are one of the estimated 13 million people in the UK suffering from hay fever, the warmer weather means the return of runny noses, blocked sinuses and itchy eyes. In 2003, the World Health Organization (WHO) approved acupuncture as a treatment for hay fever. Studies have show that acupuncture may even be as effective as over-the-counter antihistamines.
Hay fever occurs when the immune system overreacts to an allergen, typically a pollen, by producing an immune response and releasing IgE (Immunoglobuline E). These IgE cells release powerful chemicals which cause the typical hayfever symptoms.
Acupuncture can help to improved quality of life for patients who are suffering from allergies and is a great alternative to conventional medication. Now is a good time to start treatment and balance your immune response.
