Spring is around the corner these days. We can smell the flowers blossoming, we can see the seeds sprouting and we can feel the sun warming the earth. It’s the time for new beginnings, cleansing and rejuvenation. But for some of us spring means sneezing, itchy eyes and runny nose which in other words means: “Seasonal Allergies”.

An excellent alte
ative to allergy medication is Traditional Chinese Medicine. In Traditional Chinese Medicine. Allergies are considered wind invading the body in combination of a deficiency of your defensive energy. A Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner will treat your seasonal allergies with a combination of chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture. The use of chinese herbs help disperse the wind and strengthen your defensive energy, so that your body can fight back in a natural way. Acupuncture will help open up your nasal passages and will help maintain an overall wellbeing of your health. Traditional Chinese Medicine has no negative side effects and will help your body prepare for Spring.

Other things you can try to prevent your Seasonal Allergies is eating fruits and vegetables with a high content of antioxidants like Vit C, examples are oranges, tomatoes, grapefruit, pineapple, butte
