In Chinese medicine, allergies are seen as a sign that the body’s defenses—or "Wei Qi" (protective energy)—are not strong or balanced enough to handle outside triggers like pollen, dust, or certain foods. When this energy is weakened or out of balance, the body can overreact to things in the environment, leading to symptoms like sneezing, itchy eyes, runny nose, sinus pressure, or skin rashes.

At Golden Crane Acupuncture, we use acupuncture and Chinese herbs to help calm the immune response, strengthen the body’s defenses, and reduce inflammation. Treatments are tailored to your specific symptoms and the time of year, with the goal of helping your body react less strongly to allergens. Over time, many people notice fewer flare-ups, better breathing, and an overall improvement in how they feel during allergy season.
