Cedar Fever

As I am sure many of you know, cedar allergy season is upon us. Many people are experiencing many symptoms varying from fatigue, itching of eyes, nose, and throat, sinus congestion and runny nose, chest tightness, shortness of breath, wheezing, and sinus infections.

Acupuncture can offer you tremendous relief. Even within the first few minutes you can feel your sinus passages opening. Acupuncture works as an anti-histamine by reducing the amount of these chemicals in your tissues, resulting is less pressure, reduced fluid accumulation, less swelling, and inflammation. Acupuncture also works to strengthen your immune response by stimulating your white blood cell production, natural killer cell activity, and increasing lymph circulation.

Chinese herbs are wonderful to complement allergy treatment. One of my favorite products for cedar fever is Herbalogic's Easy Breather. This is a liquid herbal tincture formulated by acupuncturists in Austin for Austin's cedar fever. This formula works as an anti-histamine, and well as increasing white blood cell production and natural killer cell activity.
This formula can be found at Whole Foods Market, AOMA Herbal Medicine, People's Rx, and Wheatsville Coop.
