Acupuncture: A Natural Remedy for Seasonal Allergies

Did you know that allergy symptoms can be alleviated and even reduced with acupuncture and herbs? If you live in the Scottsdale valley,  you or someone you know suffers with cough, sneezing, and runny, itchy eyes and nose during allergy season.  This is caused the body’s immune system overreacting to foreign particles in the air.

Most people run to their nearest pharmacy or doctor for prescribed or over-the-counter antihistamines or nasal steroids to relieve symptoms, which generally work well.  With symptom relief, however, there may also be side effects. Mayo Clinic lists a surprising long number of potential side effects that if not fatal can be as troublesome as the sneezing and coughing.
