Acupuncture Can Treat Allergies

It is estimated that currently over 50 million Americans suffer from various types of allergies. That is nearly 1 in 6! Hayfever, also known as allergic rhinitis is the most common - nearly 17% of the U.S. population.

Allergies are basically an immune system response to allergens such as dust, mold, insects and their feces, animal dander, pollens, perfumes, smoke, and more. The body reacts to these allergens as if it were a pathogen and the result is a cascade of symptoms. Ever notice how similar those allergy symptoms can feel to early cold symptoms?
