Acupuncture against allergies


Sneezing, runny nose and your tears have eyes? You may be allergic to downy poplar, chestnut or pollens. If you are sick of anti-allergic drugs and nasal decongestant sprays, you can choose a complementary therapy to relieve allergy symptoms. And we recommend acupuncture, a traditional Chinese method, which according to World Health Organization, can treat or cure over 100 diseases, including allergies.

Since allergy is a body’s energy imbalance, by applying the needles on certain energy points we can regulate the power of the organs affected by allergies. It is about 8 to 10 points, located in the hand, nose or feet, which are related to the large intestine, lungs, spleen and pancreas.

By puncture, some energy points are involved in reducing histamine excess , a substance responsible for typical allergy symptoms: repeated sneezing, stuffy or presence of runny nose, itchy throat and eyes.

Acupuncture can be used successfully to treat children older than five years, diagnosed with various forms of allergy. This method seeks not only to eliminate the factors that triggered the disease, and increasing resistance to disease.
