My acupuncturist was concerned about me taking medicine for my allergies. I had been taking it for most of my life. After she started treating me for my allergies, my daughter noticed that I had not needed my allergy medicine. I was surprised to realize it but not quite a believer, I thought, let us see what happens when spring comes around. So during spring time, I went in weekly for acupuncture – which DID hold my allergies at bay for the most part. I continue to see my acupuncturist for allergy management and would recommend to anyone to seek acupuncture as an alternative to traditional western medicine!
