Seasonal Allergies
The
cold winter slowly let place to spring to show up. The snow is melting, the days are
lengthening, and the birds are coming back.
Unfortunately, for those who suffer from seasonal allergies, this season
equals runny nose, red eyes and sneezing.
Seasonal
allergies are caused by an immune system misadaptation to his environment. The immune system becomes over reactive and
perceives the pollen as a danger and triggers a series of allergic
reactions : tearing, itching, redness of the eyes, sneezing, headaches,
nasal discharge and/or congestion, and so on
Stress,
fatigue, air pollution, processed food, tobacco, alcohol will overload and drain
our organism who will thereafter have a hard time to adapt itself to his environment.
Acupuncture
can prevent symptoms associated with seasonal allergies. It is recommended to start the treatments 6 to
8 weeks before the beginning of the allergy season (who may be variable
according to the allergen). The amount
of treatments vary between 4 to 10 according to your health condition. Acupuncture doesn’t treat disease but the
human being; the healthier you and your lifestyle are, the quickest the results
will be.
If
you read this while tearing and sneezing because the allergies already kicked
in, know that acupuncture may reduce your symptoms. Regular treatments during the allergy season
will be necessary. Stop avoiding
