For individuals with asthma, the airways can become inflamed and narrowed, making it difficult for air to flow in and out. Various triggers can provoke asthma symptoms, including pollen, exercise, viral infections, and cold air. Common symptoms of asthma include wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. Living with asthma can be frustrating, as it often impacts daily activities and overall breathing.

 What is Allergic Rhinitis?Allergic Rhinitis, also known as hay fever or allergies is a condition where the nose becomes irritated due to an allergic reaction to airborne particles such as pollen, dust mites, animal dander, and mold. This causes symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and nasal congestion. How can acupuncture help?Acupuncture is an effective, non-pharmaceutical method for relieving allergies and can help you avoid the side effects associated with medications. This practice restores energy flow throughout the body and helps regulate the immune system, reducing the body's overreaction to allergy symptoms. Additionally, acupuncture diminishes inflammation by releasing beneficial chemicals such as endorphins and cortisol. It also aids in hormone regulation and improves circulation and lymphatic drainage. What is the experience like during an acupuncture treatment?Beginning acupuncture for allergy relief starts with a thorough evaluation of your symptoms. Dr. Zamora will ask a series of questions regarding your specific allergy symptoms, as well as some that may not seem directly related. This comprehensive approach helps her identify any underlying issues that could be exacerbating your symptoms. Based on this evaluation, Dr. Zamora will develop a customized treatment plan to begin alleviating your symptoms. During the session, she will insert small needles at various points around your body, tailored to your specific needs. You will lie on a comfortable treatment table where you can relax, accompanied by the soothing sound of a white noise machine that helps drown out distractions. As you lay there comfortably, the needles will stimulate a flow of energy throughout your body, releasing endorphins and reducing inflammation. You can expect to leave feeling more relaxed and relieved, with a noticeable reduction in symptoms, and many patients experience full relief from their allergy symptoms within just a few weeks! What are patients saying?“A friend recommended that I should try acupuncture for my allergies and I went to see Dr. Zamora and within 6 weeks, my allergies are so much better and no drugs!” A.D. 12/23 Contact Us:If you're struggling with allergies, schedule a consultation with Dr. Kourtney Zamora today!
