Allergies & Respiratory Issues

An allergy is the body’s immune system reacting to a variety of relatively harmless substances, ranging from pollen and dust to animal dander. This reaction manifests in the form of coughing, wheezing and sneezing, and sometimes asthma. Allergy medications may offer temporary relief from the symptoms, but they can’t cure the condition. The combination of acupuncture and Chinese herbal supplements is very effective at treating allergy symptoms by getting to the root of the issue: a weakened immune system. Chinese herbal medicine and Acupuncture can strengthen the immune system, reduce inflammation in the nasal passages, clear up nasal congestion, stop an itchy, watery eyes.

Pain Relief

Acupuncture points stimulate the nervous system to activate bioactive chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals will either change the experience of pain, or they will trigger the release of other chemicals and hormones which influence the body’s own internal regulating system. Some of the physiological effects observed throughout the body include increased circulation, decreased inflammation, relief from pain and muscle spasms, and increased blood cell production, which stimulates the immune system.

The improved energy and biochemical balance produced by acupuncture results in stimulating the body’s natural healing abilities, and in promoting physical and emotional well-being.
