By stimulating immune system
Acupuncture is a natural antidote to allergies. I employ herbs as well. The traditional western medical approach to treat allergies is prescription of steroid drugs, but I have found this only addresses the symptoms and leaves long-term deleterious side effects to patients. In acupuncture, the root cause of allergies are due to chronic inflammation in the liver and intestines causing a chronic weakness in these organs. Changing one’s diet and doing gentle liver and cleanses along with acupuncture can address the root causes of allergies even when they have a genetic component.
Yes, It does, and it works right away
Preliminary research indicates that acupuncture may help allergy and eczema symptoms. Researchers at the University Medical Center in Berlin conducted a large, multi-center studyTrusted Source <http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23420231>of the effectiveness of acupuncture for the treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis, or hay fever. The study divided 422 people into three groups for two months: one group received acupuncture treatment, the second received “fake” acupuncture, with needles placed in random, meaningless spots on their bodies, and the third group only took antihistamines. At the end of the study, the group that received acupuncture therapy reported greater relief from symptoms than the other two groups.
Acupuncture can help open the sinuses and resolve the accumulation of damp and phlegm in the nasal passages. It can also calm the body histamine reaction to allergens by strengthening the immune system

Acupuncture and herbal medicine can help with seasonal allergies by treating the symptoms and strengthening immunity.
As the earth rotates and completes it’s cycle, so do the seasons and our immunities in response to the environments. With TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) we can address supporting the energies for the anticipated weather change. Generally, some people usually
get more allergies when the cold & wind pick up, so we stimulate their immunity with acupuncture points that promote the production of red & white blood cells.

Yes! Acupuncture has a great record in treating allergies of different kinds, and Dr. Shahla is very experienced in treating seasonal allergies. In addition to acupuncture treatments, Dr. Shahla may recommend the appropriate herbal medicine to supplement your treatment.
Absolutely, yes...acupuncture works very well for allergies. I treat many patients with this issue.
Acupuncture has a non-pharmacological anti inflammatory effect, that reduces inflammation by modulating the granulocytes in the body. The needles clear the inflammation out of the sinus cavities, just as it would for inflammation in the joints or gut or anywhere else in the body.
Yes, Acupuncture and herbs can help to alleviate seasonal allergies. First, we begin with an assessment to identify the root problem or what we call patterns of disharmony. Then, we develop a course of treatment to alleviate symptoms and restore balance.
It can certainly help. Herbs and dietary advice will also help!
very well but may need a few sessions

I suppose it reduces symptoms, as I have not personally treated this before and have oddly zero experience with this set of symptoms/diagnosis.
Yes. Acupuncture with herbs could help you out for your seasonal allergies. If you can come 2 or 3 times a week it could take 4-6 weeks. If you come less frequently it will take more sessions.
