Natural Allergy Relief & Asthma Treatment with Acupuncture
Natural allergy relief and asthma treatment with acupuncture? It’s true! We successfully treat allergies and asthma regularly at Inner Light Wellness Acupuncture, Downingtown. Acupuncture is your natural alternative to treat your seasonal allergies, asthma symptoms, and sinus congestion.
Does the return to warm weather mean the return of your allergy symptoms? Are you dreading the ‘usual’ sneezing, itchy watery eyes, runny nose? Sinus congestion and sinus headaches are also common for people with seasonal allergies. Or perhaps you have perennial allergies with symptoms that last all year.
For some, allergy season means the return of bothersome nasal symptoms. Others experience more serious symptoms such as those occurring with asthma. Allergy induced asthma symptoms include wheezing and shortness of breath often requiring rescue inhalers or preventive steroid inhalers which must be used daily.
Exercise often makes it worse…just when the weather is getting nice! When pollen counts are high and allergies get you down, don’t fret! Acupuncture treats allergies and asthma!
“Recent research on acupuncture for natural allergy relief showed that allergy sufferers who received acupuncture required less medication to control their symptoms.”
Natural Treatment for Allergies and Asthma That Lasts!
Acupuncture relieves allergy and asthma symptoms quickly, effectively, and often permanently – enabling many to stop using medications and inhalers all together. *Reduction or elimination of prescription medications should always be monitored by the prescribing physician.* Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be free of allergies? At Inner Light Wellness Acupuncture in Downingtown, I treat allergy symptoms and asthma regularly with great results.
How Many Acupuncture Treatments Will I Need?
Most people notice significant change in their symptoms within 5 treatments or less. Treatment takes 6-8 weeks. You can start acupuncture before allergy season to prevent your allergies from becoming severe or after the allergy season begins when you start to feel symptoms. Acupuncture is just as effective before, during, or after allergy season. After approximately 10 – 15 treatments, most of my patients go on to lead allergy and asthma free lives. Take control this allergy season and try acupuncture!
Allergies & Asthma Research Studies
Acupuncture – Effective Alternative Allergy Treatment or Placebo?
Recent research on acupuncture for allergies was published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine. The study consisted of 422 people who tested positive for pollen allergies and also suffered with nasal symptoms such as runny nose and sinus congestion. All participants took antihistamines as needed.After 2 months of treatment, patients receiving the real acupuncture reported decreased allergy symptoms and a reduction in their need for antihistamines compared to the other groups. But researchers weren’t convinced….
