Acupuncture and allergies
May in National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month, and this article describes how acupuncture is being used to help:
"Dr. Xingning Zhao, 622 Main St., Williamstown, says acupuncture, combined with a blend of Chinese herbs and teas, has long been thought of in Asian culture as a cure for allergies. She stresses that patients practice preventive measures, visiting an acupuncturist during the winter months, before the pollen starts flying.
"It so much easier to control if you start early," said Zhao, a licensed acupuncturist in both Massachusetts and New York. "Even if it's one month."
Armstrong swears by it, saying her headaches and sinus pressure have subsided in the four weeks she's been visiting Zhao. She receives treatment twice a week, and has also been taught self-massaging techniques by Zhao to help in case of an emergency."
