Free Acupuncture Consultations For Allergy Sufferers!

We all waited for better weather after a long winter. But with spring’s sunshine and flowers come wind and pollen, which for many people signals the onset of allergy season. Tree pollens are prevalent in the spring. Grass and weed pollens follow in late spring and summer, and airborne mold spores can be found almost year round, as well as other common allergens such as dust, dust mites, and animal dander.

If you suffer from allergies, Holistic Medicine such as Acupuncture may help you. Eudoxie Acupuncture, with offices in Mahopac NY and Stamford CT, may just be the place to start.

Basic western medical therapies often rely on inhibiting the allergic response with antihistamines. Other types of drugs used to treat allergic rhinitis or asthma include ones which act on the nervous system, cortico-steroids and decongestants.

Western medicine also recommends avoiding the allergen if possible, and the use of air filters to decrease exposure. The next level of treatment may be desensitization, the injection of small amounts of the allergen in gradually increasing doses in order to neutralize over time the number of antibodies present.

The side effects such as drowsiness in some people, immune system suppression or over-reliance on medications cause many to seek holistic health care like acupuncture to managing their allergies.

Acupuncture stimulates the immune system to help the body more efficiently heal itself, diminishing the frequency and severity of allergic reactions. Many patients notice prompt relief from symptoms and a reduced dependency on medication after three-four sessions.

How it Works:

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) addresses the causes of allergies, treating the whole person, and focusing on balancing the immune system leads to substantial long-term health benefits in managing allergies. The acupuncturist also looks for constitutional or more deeply-rooted signs in each person who presents with allergies. The principle is treating the whole person.

The goal of the acupuncturist is to develop a plan which addresses the person’s acute symptoms and provides relief, while addressing the underlying immune system imbalance which is thought to be at the root of the person’s allergies. Treatments usually include dietary modification, the use of specifically chosen herbal formulas, and acupuncture.

During a therapy session, a very thin, sterile, disposable stainless steel acupuncture needles are placed into points on the body and After allergy symptoms are managed effectively, we then begin to address the long range plan of modifying the person’s response to his environment which, if successful, reduces the frequency and severity of future allergic responses.
