Hay Fever Can Be Completely Cured Using Chinese Herbs And Acupuncture

Tired of having itchy eyes and runny nose? Well, Chinese medicine and acupuncture in Cleveland can help relieve or even cure your hay fever. Millions of people each year suffer from itching eyes, sneezing, and a runny nose. Most take drugs such as a nasal decongestant spray, antihistamine or even cortisone inhalers. Although these medications can provide instant relief, they often come with unpleasant side effects and are unable to address the underlying cause of the symptoms. Because of this, more and more people are seeking natural alternative remedies that treat both the symptoms and their root cause. It seems that traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture are highly logical choices that can bring about these benefits.

Hay Fever from the Viewpoint of Chinese medicine

According to Chinese medicine, hay fever is caused by an external pathogenic Wind invasion based on deficient defensive energy.

Being a seasonal condition, hay fever usually affects a lot of people during spring and early summer. The season of spring is a season of Wind. In Chinese medicine, this Wind can refer to viruses, bacteria, pollen, etc. When a person is invaded by wind, it can result in symptoms and signs that include tearing, runny nose, itchiness, sneezing, and others.

But problems do not necessarily arise when only wind attacks the body. Deficient defensive energy (this is the same as a weak immune system, in Western medicine) can be a major contributing factor for recurrent hay fever annually.

The combined use of Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture can produce the following benefits:

1. Relief of symptoms through the unblocking and rebalancing of energy

2. Address the underlying reason of the disease. This means Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture fortify defensive energy (bolster the immune system).

Exercise and diet is also required to help strengthen immune function. This leads to the cure of both the symptoms and the root cause of your hay fever.
