Natural Medicine: Acupuncture pins down seasonal allergy relief
Acupuncture is increasingly used to treat allergies:
“Antihistamines and allergy injections aren’t the only treatment options available to the more than 30 million Americans who experience seasonal allergies. A growing number of allergy sufferers in the United States are turning to the ancient therapy of acupuncture to bring them relief from the sneezing, congestion and watery eyes that plague them.
According to a 2004 study published by Allergy: European Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can be safe and effective treatment options for patients with seasonal allergies. Acupuncture was given once a week for six weeks with a Chinese herbal medicine formula taken daily. At the conclusion of the study, patients noted improvements in allergy symptoms in the nose and eyes, higher energy levels, and improved emotional well-being.”
