Sinus Issues & Allergies: Prevention Now!

Slight changes in the weather, trees, and native grasses indicate that the autumnal allergy season is coming soon. While many of us welcome this time of year, many of us also suffer from seasonal allergies. Whether it is runny eyes or itchy eyes, a runny nose or fatigue, acupuncture and herbal medicine can help.

Preventative care is best in this case. If you know your allergies start up in late spring or early fall, the perfect time to start getting regular acupuncture treatments is before these seasons begin. Many times with preventative acupuncture or herbal medicine, people will either get much milder symptoms or no symptoms come the affective allergy season. Acupuncture helps by building up your immune system and reducing inflammation to keep allergies at bay. There are multiple acupuncture points on the body that help to open up the sinuses and relieve pressure. Tiny needles placed gently over your sinuses have the ability to immediately increase your ability to breathe. Regular treatments keep allergic symptoms in check or prevent them from starting all together.

Herbal medicine can be used alone or in conjunction with acupuncture as support for those with more severe allergies*. There are multiple formulas that can help with differing allergy symptoms, so let’s talk about what your symptoms are and we can figure out the appropriate formula for you. One of our more commonly prescribed formulas that greatly reduces sinus related allergies is Bi Yan Pian.

The formula Bi Yan Pian, also known as “Nose Inflammation Tablets”, is used to provide relief from discomfort of the sinuses. Unlike harsh chemical-based antihistamines, decongestants and sinusitis treatments, Bi Yan Pian is comprised of only all-natural herbal ingredients which act in concert to sooth congestion in the lungs and nasal passages.
