HAYFEVER – HOW I CAN HELP

Are you dreading the onset of spring and summer instead of rejoicing in the warmth of the sun and bursts of colour? Do you feel like the only way you can cope with the warmer months is by hiding indoors with the doors and window tightly shut to keep out the pollen?

Acupuncture can release you from this prison of itchy eyes, runny noses and blocked sinuses! 

Studies have shown that the regular use of acupuncture compared to just using anti-histamines can show greater and longer-lasting results for allergy symptoms.

Needles placed at certain points in the face can help to open up a blocked nose, reduce inflammation and stop the itch. 

Although the majority of hayfever sufferers can manage their symptoms through the use of medications, such as nasal sprays and antihistamines, others can have their lives seriously impacted by the allergic response to pollen.

For this reason, you may wish to look at alternative treatments, such as acupuncture, which can help to prevent hayfever symptoms before they start, rather than attempting to manage them when they occur.

Acupuncture can help to alleviate the symptoms of hayfever in many ways, both prior to and during the allergy season by reducing the histamine immune response and the inflammation that often follows. This can then help to relieve common symptoms of hayfever.

Naturopathy and the use of high quality natural supplements can really help to boost your body’s natural immune system so it can cope with the sudden increase in pollen. 

Acupuncture is a great treatment option for helping to alleviate the symptoms of hayfever, particularly for those who would like to attempt to prevent the symptoms before they occur.
