Allergies
Allergies are often treated with acupuncture and Chinese herbal
formulas. Many allergic
and asthmatic reactions are caused by hypersensitivity of the immune
system and/or respiratory system as well as poor digestive function.
People with food sensitivities to wheat or dairy products are more
likely to be hypersensitive to environmental allergens when they eat
these foods.

medicine has been used for thousands of years to alleviate allergic
symptoms while treating the root of the problem. Acupuncture, or Shoni
Shin for children, provides immediate relief from itchy, blurry eyes,
runny nose, sore throat and swollen glands as well as strengthen the
immune, respiratory and digestive systems. Herbal formulas are given
to prolong the effects of the treatment along with nutritional
supplements and dietary modifications to reduce irritation of the
digestive tract which could be leading underlying the condition.
