Acupuncture
Hay fever season and acupuncture
Itchy eyes and a Hampshire June — an adjunct some people use, not a replacement for antihistamines that work.
Symptoms and what they can mean
Sneezing, streaming, a foggy head. If your inhaler use is climbing, that is asthma, not a pollen inconvenience.
What we can do in clinic
We can treat in the run-up to your worst months. Keep using the medicines that keep you breathing. I am not an immunologist.
Red flags and when to see your GP
Wheeze, lip swelling, or anaphylaxis history — emergency plans stay with your GP. Acupuncture does not replace an EpiPen.
