Hayfever (Allergic rhinitis) affects many people usually on a seasonal basis. It can cause a wide range of symptoms commonly sneezing, itchy nose, congestion or watery nasal discharge. Other issues include eye symptoms (e.g. red eyes, itchy eyes, tearing), coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath and systemic symptoms such as tiredness, fever, a pressure sensation in the head, and itchiness.

In my experience, Acupuncture can have a significant impact on the symptoms of hayfever. Many patients have just one treatment seasonly or sometimes once every few years.

Whilst conventional treatments, usually antihistamines, often minimise symptoms, Acupuncture can do so without side effects.
