Acupuncture Allergy Relief Ramsey NJ

Are you someone who struggles with allergies near  Ramsey NJ? Sniffling, gravelly voice, teary eyes, make Spring season a time of total irritation for you! Constant irritation of the sinuses leaves you scrambling for relief. Learn how acupuncture gives seasonal allergy relief near Ramsey, NJ.

Anti-Histamines Don’t Treat Everything

Antihistamines are a “go to” for allergy relief near Ridgewood NJ. However, the overly drying effect on the sinuses could cause phlegm to get stuck and blocked in the sinuses. You may suffer with chronic headaches, the sniffles, nasal pressure and dizziness. It’s a small price to pay for relief from your allergies, right? But if phlegm gets chronically stuck in the sinus cavities, it can linger cannot come out especially from the over drying effect of the anti-histamines. You may suffer with chronic headaches, the sniffles, nasal pressure and dizziness chronically as a result.

How Acupuncture Works For Seasonal Allergy Relief Near Ridgewood NJ

Acupuncture works for seasonal allergy relief by shutting down the histamine response in the body much like an anti-histamine, but without the side effects. Additionally, done over time, acupuncture helps to enhance the body’s immune response. Acupuncture sends signals to the immune system, that in turn, helps to shut down the histamine response. Every time someone comes in to get acupuncture, they are getting a “message” sent through the body to the mid-brain to effect a change on the body. Prodded by these signals, the body makes the changes necessary to reduce histamines in the body.

Specific Acupuncture for Seasonal Allergic Relief

Did you know that there are specific acupuncture points that are helpful for de-congesting the nose, opening the sinus passageways, and enhancing breathing. These points are essential  for seasonal allergy relief. There are local points by the nose that help to open the airways and the surrounding nasal passages. Acupuncture needles can be placed near the nose area, or in the arms and legs at specific points that have a direct action and connection to the nose and sinus cavities with the same results. If you are really needle phobic, acupunctue points can be needled on you back. back points have less nerve endings and are well tolerated by most needle-phobes!Utilizing either, local acupuncture points in the face or whether using acupuncture found far away from the body, creates acupuncture also reduces histamine levels in the body.

How do  acupuncture needles relieve Seasonal Allergies?

Acupuncture needles contain no medication in them. Acupuncture needles reduce histamine in the body, increase blood flow to the sinuses and lungs, and enhance the immune system.  The effects of the needles through these signaling mechanisms of your body are where the real magic happens. Acupuncture needles stimulate blood flow, reduce inflammation and reduces the histamine response.

Give Acupuncture treatments time to Kick in for Seasonal Allergies and Treat the other issues that contribute to your Seasonal Allergies!

Many people want instant results with acupuncture. While you may feel immediate alleviation of symptoms, your symptoms will return, time and time again, as your body gets “trained” enough by the signaling needles to help you reduce and resist allergens. Your results will vary, depending on other things going on in your body that can be worsening the allergies. Factors such as  life style, drinking habits, sleep habits, dietary habits and other issues can aggravate your allergies without you even knowing it. For example, people with acid reflux get terrible allergies due to their acid. Other times patients might have a liver organ that is not detoxifying the body so well. If you are constipated chronically, or you have loose stools, that will also impact on the sinus condition as well. If you are very stressed, your body becomes very reactive. So treating these issues, and changing some life style factors will also need to be addressed so you can heal comprehensively.

Relaxation Response Critical for you to Reduce your Seasonal Allergies.

Besides the specific needles being used, laying down or sitting with the needles helps to reduce the histamine response involved in seasonal allergies. While you sit with the needles, between 30-45 minutes, your brain gets saturated with endorphins which help your body to relax very deeply. Profound relaxation, rather than incessant excitation of your mind and body is needed to reduce your histamine response levels. By reducing the histamine response, your body feels less congested, less phlegmy and have less nasal and eye irritation to the body. That’s good news because you should be able to enjoy the spring weather and the outdoors without having to suffer from it.

Acupuncture for Seasonal Allergies Can be Combined with other Treatments

Acupuncture can be done in conjunction with your medications or as a standalone treatment. It doesn’t have to be an “all-or-nothing” proposition. Many people who come in are using antihistamines and other histamine blockers, and yet, they still suffer from allergies. Others may have contraindications for using antihistamine medications for conditions such as glaucoma, over-active thyroid, high blood pressure, heart disease, ulcers for example.
