Seasonal allergies are estimated to affect 10-30% of the U.S. population, with an even higher prevalence in children. Instead of being able to fully enjoy nature and the warm weather that spring and summer brings, those with seasonal allergies typically have to stock up on antihistamines, decongestants, anti-inflammatories, nasal sprays, and eye drops in order to tolerate being outside.
Thankfully, there is growing evidence that supports salt therapy as an alternative treatment for seasonal allergies that is effective, drug-free, with almost no side effects!

Can Acupuncture Address Allergies?
During an allergic reaction, the immune system strongly reacts to an otherwise harmless substance. This causes inflammation, swelling, and increased sensitivity in the areas that the allergen comes in contact with. In the case of seasonal allergies, the allergen is most often airborne pollen from trees and grasses, which gets inhaled and lands in the eyes. When this happens, the eyes and upper respiratory tract become irritated, swollen, and “runny” as the immune system attacks the pollen and tries to flush it out.
Acupuncture helps to treat seasonal allergy symptoms by prompting the body to decrease its immune response naturally. Scientific studies have suggested that this occurs through a combination of biological processes that target these symptoms. One of the main processes is reducing various signals and compounds that lead to inflammation and swelling. This helps to lessen congestion and discomfort in affected areas. Another important process is blocking the activity of histamines, which leads to a significant reduction in itching, sneezing, and excessive nose-running.
