EIGHT SYMPTOMS OF STRESS: ALLERGIES
April 15th, 2008
Certain allergic disorders such as asthma, eczema and hay fever are partially regulated by brain chemicals and hormones released into the bloodstream in response to stress. Stress can also exacerbate nasal airway inflammation. Stress reduction interventions can be effective in the management of allergic disorders by reducing stress, modulating the immune system response and stabilizing mood states.
Conventional therapy for allergic disorders often includes use of anti-inflammatory agents (antihistamines, nasal corticosteroids, allergy shots, and decongestants), which treat symptoms by immune system suppression and often have potential adverse side effects. Combining stress reduction techniques with complementary treatment strategies, such as acupuncture, may enhance allergy treatment regimens, allowing for the use of lower medication doses with fewer negative side effects (drowsiness, nose and throat dryness and insomnia).
Acupuncture therapy minimizes fatigue, sinus headache and other allergic reactions while strengthening the body’s capacity to process allergens. Acupuncture treatment corrects the immune system imbalance and increases levels of endorphins and other chemicals that reduce congestion by improving blood circulation. A comprehensive program may be recommended by your acupuncture physician which combines acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, diet modification, and supplements.
A comprehensive acupuncture treatment program can decrease inflammation, constriction of bronchial passages, congestion, and reactions to allergens. Acupuncture for allergy management involves selection of various acupoints located on the wrists and around the sinuses. Selection of these acupoints in treatment enhances the flow of chi (vital energy) and reduces nasal secretion. Many individuals benefit from reduced discharge, nasal congestion and itching after the first few acupuncture treatments.
Acupuncture stimulates the nervous system to release chemicals that regulate the body’s antigen-antibody reactions. This reduces allergic symptoms such as asthma, sneezing and congestion. By addressing immune system balance, acupuncture treatment can result in long-term allergy management. Acupuncture increases energy and biochemical balance, which enhances the body’s natural healing abilities.
If you suffer from allergies, you might want to consider the natural approach offered by acupuncture therapy. For more information about acupuncture for allergy management call Dr. Richard Browne, Acupuncture Physician, at (305) 595-9500. April 4.
