Background info on acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient form of alternative medicine that has been around for as long as allergies have existed on this planet –– if not longer. Practiced by Egyptian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern societies thousands of years ago, acupuncture has been perfected over time to give us powerful and impressive ameliorative tools.
Acupuncture consists of inserting tiny needles into the skin for targeted stimulation of oxygen levels throughout the body. Acupuncture works to increase the amount of oxygen in the blood, which can bring all kinds of beneficial impacts, including making your allergies go away.
Despite common misconceptions, acupuncture is relatively painless and does not leave scars. Most sessions last under an hour, and many patients report improvements after just one round of treatment.
