The spring is on its way. The warm air, fresh flowers and
long days are coming. For some it is time to enjoy spring season. For others runny
nose, itchy eyes etc are following. In the UK there are around 13 million
people suffering from hayfever. Many hayfever suffers take antihistamines such
as Claritin or use eye drops and nasal sprays to control the symptoms.
Hayfever can be dealt effectively with alternative approaches such as acupuncture. Acupuncture can prevent hayfever symptoms and chuck out them. It is better to go for acupuncture before symptoms kick in. However if the preventive window is missed acupuncture can still eliminate hayfever symptoms. It is common for people to notice an immediate relieving of blocked nasal passages after acupuncture treatment.
Acupuncture studies on allergic rhinitis reported that acupuncture
stimulation reduces inflammation by promoting release of vascular immunomodulatory
factors, and increase local microcirculation which helps dispersal of swelling.
Clinical studies showed acupuncture has similar efficacy to antihistamines.
