Breathe Easy This Spring: How Acupuncture Helps Seasonal Allergies

Spring brings blooming flowers, warmer weather, and longer days—but for many, it also brings sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes, and sinus pressure. If seasonal allergies make you dread the change in seasons, acupuncture may be the natural solution you’ve been searching for!

Understanding Seasonal Allergies

Seasonal allergies, also known as hay fever or allergic rhinitis, occur when your immune system overreacts to allergens like pollen, grass, and mold spores. This reaction triggers the release of histamines, leading to symptoms such as:

✅ Sneezing and runny nose

✅ Nasal congestion

✅ Itchy, watery eyes

✅ Sinus pressure and headaches

✅ Fatigue and brain fog

Many people turn to antihistamines or decongestants, but these medications can cause drowsiness and only provide temporary relief. Acupuncture offers a natural, drug-free alternative to address the root cause of your allergies and provide long-term relief.

How Acupuncture Can Help with Allergies

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves inserting thin, sterile needles at specific points on the body to promote balance and healing. When it comes to allergies, acupuncture helps by:

🔹 Reducing Inflammation – Acupuncture decreases swelling in the nasal passages, making it easier to breathe.

🔹 Regulating the Immune System – It helps calm the body’s overactive immune response to allergens.

🔹 Balancing Energy Flow – Traditional Chinese Medicine believes allergies stem from imbalances in the body’s energy (Qi). Acupuncture restores this balance to prevent symptoms.

🔹 Improving Sinus Drainage – Targeted acupuncture points help open nasal passages and relieve congestion.

What to Expect During an Acupuncture Session for Allergies

At Denny Chiropractic & Acupuncture, we take a holistic approach to allergy relief. During your session:

🔸 We’ll discuss your symptoms and health history.

When to Start Acupuncture for Allergy Relief

For best results, start before allergy season hits to strengthen your immune system and prevent severe reactions. However, even if you’re already experiencing symptoms, acupuncture can still help relieve them!
