Allergies, Asthma, Sinusitis & Frequent Colds
Millions of Americans suffer from seasonal allergies, asthma, chronic sinusitis and frequent colds. Others endure these conditions year-round. If you are one of these people, then you know how much the quality and activity-level of your life is compromised by not feeling well. When your physical body declines your spirit declines with it, and vice versa. Over-the-counter and prescription medications are somewhat effective in alleviating symptoms of these conditions, but generally come with a variety of uncomfortable side effects.
Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine are a natural, effective solution for allergy, sinusitis, asthma and cold symptoms and can address and correct the root cause of the problem as well. Patients often feel an immediate improvement.
Allergy symptoms are the result of an abnormal immune response that happens when there is an existing hypersensitivity to normally harmless environmental substances. Through the insertion of acupuncture needles into different acupuncture points, substances are released internally that regulate your body's central nervous system function, normalizing your body's antigen-antibody immune-related response. The substances released reduce inflammation, improving circulation in the area, helping to speed recovery. Chronic inflammation, especially sinus inflammation, can weaken the body's adrenal glands and lead to conditions including chronic fatigue, sluggish metabolism, and even depression. Acupuncture alone (or in combination with Chinese herbs) is very effective in restoring and stabilizing normal adrenal function. Treatment encourages your adrenal glands to function naturally and independently, without the need for supplements.
During a course of treatment, activity and dietary modifications are recommended based on an individual's condition, helping to speed recovery.
Western drugs will temporarily relieve allergy symptoms but will never address the root cause of the problem. Side effects of many of these drugs may include dependence, dryness, and drowsiness, and the use of steroids over time can have an adverse effect on normal organ function.
