Allergy Relief

TCM approaches allergies from a holistic perspective. Based on Chinese Medicine theory, an allergic response is an energy flow irregularity, which can interfere with normal nervous system communications. Acupuncture attempts to treat the cause of allergies by addressing the underlying energy imbalances. The TCM approach may also combine acupuncture with herbal supplement to enhance effectiveness.

Western medicine attributes allergies to an over-reactive immune system where an allergic person is highly sensitive to substances that are often harmless to the majority of individuals. Western medical treatment involves drug therapy (antihistamines or steroids) to control allergic symptoms. However, this approach does not always correct the underlying problem and may promote side effects. Acupuncture is a drug-free, natural, safe and effective way to help allergy suffers better control their conditions.
