Spring has sprung. If you are a seasonal, chronic or environmental allergy sufferer, acupuncture and Chinese herbs might be the key you are missing to resolve or lessen your symptoms. Allergies arise from a misplaced immunity.

Acupuncture naturally boosts your immunity. Consider trying acupuncture for allergies several months before the season hits you. Your practitioner may also recommend Chinese herbs. If you didn’t get a chance to prepare your immune system, acupuncture is great to relieve nasal congestion, itchy eyes, and other allergy symptoms.

Acupressure Rescue for Allergies

You can use the ancient art of acupressure for allergy relief.

Not to be confused with acupuncture, the placement of needles at specific points on the “energy meridians” of the body, acupuncture involves only gentle manual pressure to treat a variety of illnesses in ways that defy a truly scientific explanation, but which nonetheless work.

What is Acupressure?

In the theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, allergies were thought of as “wind” conditions. How to perform Acupuncture for Allergies

Apply a gentle pressure to the skin, pushing toward the bone that supports your index finger. The idea behind this kind of acupuncture is that somehow pressing on this point encourages the same kinds of energy that are involved in defecation, only the “waste” that is eliminated is the energy brought in on the wind. Traditional acupressure recommends some combinations of pressure points for special situations.

You massage the webbing between the toes about half an inch (10-12 mm) into the space between the toes, against the bone joining the toes.
