The sun is starting to shine, temperatures are rising, and nature is coming back to life...spring is on its way! Unfortunately, for many people, this is also the time when hay fever flares up.

Hay fever caused by histamine
Hay fever is a hypersensitivity reaction of your body to pollen grains. In spring, the air is full of pollen because all trees and plants are blooming and reproducing. Pollen are not harmful in themselves, but if you suffer from hay fever, your body considers them as dangerous invaders. To combat these invaders, your body produces the substance histamine, which is the cause of your symptoms: sneezing, coughing, feeling congested, and experiencing burning eyes. The mucous membranes of your nose, throat, and eyes become irritated, and you don't feel well.

Acupuncture as a preventive hay fever treatment
In hay fever, your defense mechanism is not functioning properly. An acupuncture treatment will therefore aim to restore balance. That's why acupuncture is particularly suitable as a preventive treatment for hay fever. We recommend starting treatments well before spring begins. In spring, your defense mechanism will work optimally, so you will have little or no hay fever symptoms.

Acupuncture if you already have hay fever symptoms
Even if you are experiencing severe hay fever symptoms, the acupuncturist can help you a lot. They can alleviate symptoms such as burning eyes and sneezing and ensure that your energy balance is restored. The number of treatments you need depends on the nature and severity of your symptoms.
