Acupuncture is a complementary therapy that some people use to help manage allergy symptoms. It involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate various physiological responses. Many individuals get relief from their allergy symptoms after a series of consecutive acupuncture treatments.

Acupuncture can help with the following:

Reduce inflammation: Acupuncture may help to reduce inflammation in the nasal passages and other affected areas, which can be associated with allergy symptoms.

Modulate the immune system: Acupuncture may influence the immune system's response to allergens, potentially reducing the severity of allergic reactions.

Alleviate symptoms: Many people claim that acupuncture provides relief from common allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and congestion.

The most effective approach in treating allergies from a TCM perspective is through a combination of herbs and acupuncture, along with dietary changes.
