There are so many traditional remedies for sinusitis or sinus symptoms, you can opt for natural herbal products as a medication if you don't want any uncomfortable side effects. But did you know that acupuncture is also an effective allergy remedy?
As a traditional Chinese medical technique, acupuncture can treat a wide range of physical disorders like arthritis, asthma, infertility, and hypertension.
Acupuncture involves the use of insertion of needles into selected pressure points of the body. A practitioner inserts the needle from 3mm to 10mm deep; the deepness of the needle depends on the kind of treatment objective. Once the needles are in the body, they are rotated by hand slowly or are connected with an electrical device with low-voltage to send electric current into the pressure points. The needles remain in the body from five minutes to one hour or more, this depends on the condition and the kind of treatment the patient want to have.
In the case of relieving sinusitis, the acupressure where the needles should be placed is above the nose and between the eyes, right at the brow. The needles are inserted on either side of the nose at the corner of the eyes and to the sides of each nostril.
There are also sinus acupressure points on the back of our hand; they call it the "web" and at the hollow space between the front and back muscles of our neck.
Many people who suffer from sinus problems say that steady pressure on their index fingers on these points, starting from the nostrils, to the corners of the eyes, down to the hands, back to the neck and end with the area between the eyes, gives a significant effect in relieving sinus symptoms. Thirty seconds of pressure at each points is usually enough to change the condition of the sinus. This treatment method can be repeated as often as needed by the patient.
After the treatment, some people say they feel energized, other say they are relaxed. Whatever the outcome may be, one thing is for sure, it's an effective allergy remedy.
