Most people at some time in their lives suffer from seasonal allergies and with spring in the air, why not prevent them?  Acupuncture and herbs can do much to prevent and quell seasonal allergies for many.  Itchy, runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing are common symptoms that can vary from mildly annoying to downright debilitating for some people.  Over the counter drugs like antihistamines can tame these symptoms, but have their own set of side effects.  Those suffering from diabetes, epilepsy, or moms who are breast-feeding often advised against taking anti-histamines.  It has been shown in various studies that the combination of Chinese Herbs and acupuncture can drastically reduce the symptoms and onset of allergies.  If you are one of those individuals who love to hate spring because it brings the gift of these allergic symptoms, find an acupuncturist and schedule an appointment.  Acupuncture offers everyone a natural solution with no side effects to help enjoy the outdoors with family and friends as the weather gets warmer and the sun decides to grace us with her light on these longer days.
