Acupuncture - an Effective Natural Hayfever Remedy

Effective treatment of hayfever using acupuncture is achieved by targeting treatment at the presenting symptoms as well as strengthening any underlying deficiencies in the body. The common symptoms such as itchy, streaming and red eyes, a runny nose, sneezing and irritability are normally described as an invasion of wind and heat in Chinese medicine. Acupuncture points on the head and around the nose are used to drive out the wind-heat and this can effectively clear hayfever symptoms in the short term.

For more long term relief, treatment needs to be directed to strengthen the energy of the kidneys and the immune system overall. A combination of acupuncture and herbal supplements can help to boost the body's overall constitution and hopefully prevent re-occurences of hayfever the following year. Although a long term solution is generally recommended, sometimes remarkable results are achieved in just one session.

Testimonial - Barry

"I have been suffering with hayfever for 15 years. The potency of the pollen ranges from year to year, and this year has been chronic. I had been suffering badly this year, and approximately 80% of the time I'm awake I suffer from hayfever.

Mike has recently treated my hayfever with acupuncture and the treatment is worth its weight in gold. I have not suffered since my first session a week ago."
