Seasonal Allergies

“Did you know that at least 50 million people in the United States suffer from seasonal allergies? The most commonly used methods are monthly allergy shots at your doctor’s office (ouch!) or taking medications with side effects that make your mouth dry and your body feel drowsy. Fortunately there is an alternative…and it’s called Acupuncture!! I have been treating a patient who has been taking Zyrtec for years to control his allergies and headaches caused by sinus congestion. After 2 months of treatments, his sinus headaches were gone and he stopped taking Zyrtec altogether! Now whenever his allergy flares up, a quick acupuncture treatment sets him right back to normal again. It’s so wonderful to know that I can help someone to get off of using medication as a source of relief and choose acupuncture as a natural remedy to allow the body to heal and improve a person’s quality of life. As always, I am grateful to have the opportunity to be a guide to better health!”
