Acupuncture for Allergies

Chinese Medicine can offer great relief from allergies. Specific acupuncture points for the sinuses often bring immediate relief, flush the sinuses, relieve congestion and reduce inflammation. Regular treatments can help calm the histamine reaction, reduce symptoms and pain and strengthen the immune system.

Claire Turnbull is certified in NAET (Allergy Elimination through neuromuscular sensitivity testing) which can bring to awareness specific sensitivities and allergens. During an Allergy Elimination treatment, Claire can treat the patient’s hypersensitivity to the substance/allergen through neuromuscular sensitivity testing, acupressure, breath work and acupuncture. With this technique she has been able to successfully treat food sensitivities, dermatological issues, seasonal allergies, cat and dog allergies and many more.

Chinese herbal medicine and cupping are also helpful for allergies. Chinese herbs can help decrease or extinguish allergies without the negative effects or dependency some people experience when they take allergy medications. Cupping is a relaxing and efficient way to help clear excess phlegm, toxins and heat in the body. All of our practitioners can add this to any treatment when approoriate.
