Acupuncture can help with Seasonal Allergies

Seasonal allergies are just annoying. Every time a certain season rolls around millions of Americans head to the drug store for antihistamines that don’t target specific allergic reactions and can be largely ineffective. More and more research is coming out consistently showing acupuncture to have a significant clinical effect on seasonal allergies. Where drugs are designed to target a broad scope of allergies acupuncturists can more effectively pin point how to treat specific allergies. So next time you get the seasonal runny nose and sniffles try making an appointment with us rather than with antihistamines. http://www.healthline.com/health/allergies/acupuncture#2

Acupuncture can help you sleep better

Acupuncture can help with Insomnia

Insomnia can affect everything you do; without a good night’s sleep you just aren’t yourself. You’re less productive and more irritable. For most Americans the immediate response is to go to a drug store and buy sleep aid pills night after night. Recent research however has found that acupuncture and moxibustion (an ancient Chinese herbal remedy commonly used to in conjunction with acupuncture) have a significant effect on patient’s insomnia. According to the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) patients treated with acupuncture and moxibustion showed better quality of sleep, faster time to fall asleep and better daytime functioning. So if you’re having trouble getting to bed make an appointment with us before buying more bottles of sleeping pills. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24187860
