Hi Everyone!

Even though we just got 16 inches of snow in Boulder I am thinking about all those springtime allergies that people will be dealing with soon. If that sounds like you, come in and get some acupuncture and a chinese herbal formula that will keep you from having to reach for the antihistamines and allow you to enjoy the, soon to follow, beautiful Colorado springtime.
I have had nothing but success with treating patients allergies!

Want more details on how and why acupuncture works for allergies? Ok, here goes:
From an Oriental medicine point of view, allergic rhinitis (allergies that affect the sinuses) is due to a deficiency of the Lung and Kidney's Defensive-Qi systems, combined with retention of chronic "Wind" in the nose. Deficincy is the root of the problem. In our treatments we strengthen and nourish these organs along with clearing the Wind to reduce congestion and open the nasal passages. By treating both the root and the manifestation (symptons) we are able to not just help you through the present gnarly allergy season but regulate your body and it's functions to produce lasting results!
Optimally, an allergy sufferer should get treatments before the syptoms flare up. 
It's easier to prevent than to fix!
