When allergy seasons arrives, many people are miserable. Treating allergies can be challenging due to the side effects of antihistamines. The person suffering with seasonal allergies may not be able to take medications that cause drowsiness. Learning more about how a Palatine acupuncture therapist can help ease your allergy symptoms is a good idea.

Ancient Chinese medicinal practitioners believed the energy pathways running through the human body determined a great deal about a person's well-being. When the Qi, a term describing this energy, runs smoothly and without compromise, greater levels of health are experienced. In the event the Qi is interrupted, illness usually follows.

Every organ in the body has a duct that Qi runs through. These ducts are called meridians and when you have a health issue, the meridian related to that issue is targeted by acupuncturists. Once the Qi is restored to that meridian, symptoms generally subside. The same is also true for those patients dealing with the symptoms of allergies.

The needles many people associate with this form of alternative medicine are placed in specific points on the skin. Over 400 points are on the skin's surface and each one is related to a particular meridian. For someone suffering with a runny nose, itchy eyes and sneezing, the focus of care is directed towards the branch for the symptoms caused by allergens. Once needles are in determined points, electricity or manual manipulation is used to create stimulation.

Electricity or heat is applied to the needles after they are placed in the skin, allowing the energy to be restarted in those specific points. The areas generally focused in those persons suffering with allergies is called the Righteous Qi. Building stronger immunity in this area decreases the symptoms of allergies in most patients.

Nothing is more important than taking good care of your body. By doing so naturally, you have fewer chances of dealing with side effects that can cause other healthy problems to arise. Learn how you can experience allergy relief by talking to a Palatine acupuncture therapist.
