“Our meta-analysis suggests that acupuncture could be a safe and valid treatment option for AR [allergic rhinitis] patients.”
A 2015 study from the American Journal of Rhinology and Allergy found acupuncture can effectively treat hay fever. The researchers compiled the results from 13 previous studies, which totaled 2,365 participants. The various studies confirmed acupuncture significantly lowers the antibody immunoglobulin E (IgE), the antibody associated with allergies and hypersensitivities. The patients’ hay fever symptoms also decreased as their levels of IgE fell.

- Decrease inflammation associated with allergies
- Reduce heat in the body associated with allergic reactions

Acupuncture is a natural treatment for allergies
Traditional Chinese Medicine uses completely natural treatment methods that leverage ancient herbal remedies and your body’s innate healing processes rather than synthetic medications. We help you get back to optimal health and relieve allergy symptoms without drugs or harmful side effects.
We access your body’s natural ability to overcome allergy symptoms
Acupuncture stimulates the release of neurotransmitters and other chemicals that activate the body’s internal regulating system. Certain points stimulate the pituitary gland to release cortisol, a hormone known to reduce inflammation. In general, acupuncture brings the body into better biochemical balance, which promotes physical well-being and supports the body’s natural ability to overcome allergy symptoms.
We address the root causes of your allergies
Acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine address the root causes of your allergies rather than just masking your symptoms. Treatments may include herbal medicine or dietary or lifestyle recommendations. We develop allergy treatment plans that are unique to each patient because each patient comes in with a unique body and health history.
Yes, it is very safe. Acupuncturists use individually wrapped, single-use, sterile needles for each treatment.
Acupuncture can cause minor bruising and tenderness around where the needles are inserted. This bruising will go away within a couple of days after your treatment.
This depends on the severity of your allergies and how long they have been an issue. We will help determine the duration of time it will take for you to see significant changes in your health. We can work together to develop an allergy treatment plan that’s manageable for you.
