Acupuncture for Allergies: Natural Relief for Sneezing, Congestion, & Immune Balance
Understanding Allergies from a Chinese Medicine Perspective
Seasonal allergies, sinus congestion, itchy eyes, and chronic sneezing can disrupt your comfort, energy, and focus. While medications may offer temporary relief, they often come with side effects or diminishing results. At our clinic, we use acupuncture for allergies to address the root causes of immune imbalance—helping your body respond more calmly to environmental triggers.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), allergies are seen as a sign of underlying disharmony in the Wei Qi (defensive energy), often related to imbalances in the Lungs, Spleen, and Kidneys. These organ systems play a vital role in immune regulation, respiratory health, and the body’s ability to adapt to external changes. When Qi is weak or disrupted, allergens can trigger excessive immune reactions, resulting in symptoms like nasal congestion, itching, watery eyes, coughing, or fatigue.
Rather than just masking symptoms, acupuncture works to strengthen the immune system, calm inflammation, and restore your body’s natural ability to tolerate the environment.
Allergy Concerns We Commonly Treat
We specialize in a wide range of allergy-related conditions, including:
Whether you're reacting to spring pollen, pet dander, dust mites, or environmental changes, acupuncture offers a gentle, effective, and drug-free way to feel more at ease.
How Acupuncture Supports Allergy Relief
Each session begins with a detailed evaluation of your symptoms, triggers, and overall health. Using pulse and tongue diagnosis, we identify the underlying patterns contributing to your immune reactivity and create a personalized treatment plan.
Acupuncture points are chosen to strengthen Lung and Spleen Qi, boost Wei Qi, and open nasal passages. Treatments also help to regulate histamine response, reduce inflammation, and relieve sinus congestion and pressure. Many clients experience immediate relief, and longer-term treatments help reduce the frequency and severity of allergy flare-ups.
Additional Therapies to Support Immune Balance
To optimize results, we may include Chinese herbal medicine, cupping, gua sha, or dietary recommendations to support immune and respiratory health. Herbs are commonly used to clear Wind-Heat, resolve Phlegm, and support immune function based on your specific constitution and seasonal needs.
We also offer guidance on lifestyle practices, breathing techniques, and seasonal wellness strategies to help you stay balanced year-round.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Many people notice symptom relief within the first few sessions, especially during peak allergy seasons. For long-term immune support, we often recommend weekly sessions over 6–8 weeks, followed by maintenance care during allergy-prone times of the year. Your progress is monitored throughout, and treatments are adapted to your body’s changing needs.
