Allergies
Allergies are an abnormal reaction by a person’s immune system against a normally harmless substance. During an allergic process, the cells release chemicals such as histamine and leukotrienes; resulting in allergic symptoms (runny nose, watery eyes, itching throat, and cough). The immune system produces proteins known as IgE antibodies that protect the body from unwanted invaders. Allergies can cause symptoms that involve your skin, sinuses, airways and or digestive system. The severity of allergies varies from person to person and can range from minor irritation to anaphylaxis , a potentially life-threatening emergency. If anaphylaxis happens, please go to the emergency room immediately.
Acupuncture Treats Allergies
Acupuncture can increase the body’s natural production of endorphins and white blood cells to stimulate natural pain killers and harmonize the central nervous system. This releases chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord and brain to reduce pain and increase the body’s ability to heal. These biochemical changes support the body’s natural healing abilities, improve circulation, and promote physical and emotional well-being.
Acupuncture Effectively Treats Allergies
Acupuncture is very effective in treating allergies. Treatment frequency and number of treatments needed depend on a variety of factors; the severity and duration of the symptoms and the quality and quantity of your Qi. Some people experience immediate relief; others may take weeks or even months to achieve results. Angie may suggest one or two treatments per week, or monthly visits for health maintenance and seasonal “tune-ups”.
