Experience Lasting Allergy Relief Through Acupuncture

If you’re one of the millions of people who deal with allergies, you know how frustrating the itchy eyes, sneezing fits, chronic congestion, or even digestive issues can be. You may have even tried every over-the-counter remedy, nasal spray, or elimination diet out there, only to find that the relief is temporary (or nonexistent). 

At Integrative Medical Center in Irvine, California, Jing F. Li, MD. OMD, LAc, and our expert team offer a holistic, effective solution. Using the time-tested techniques of acupuncture and acupressure, we target the root causes of allergies, helping your body reset its immune response and achieve lasting relief.

How acupuncture provides allergy relief

Acupuncture is a minimally invasive, drug-free approach to managing allergies. This method involves the precise placement of thin, sterile needles at specific points on the body to stimulate your natural healing processes.

By promoting balance in the immune system, acupuncture helps reduce allergic reactions and inflammation. It has proven effective for both chronic allergies and inflammation-related conditions, such as asthma, hay fever, and autoimmune disorders.

For those who are needle-averse or for children, we offer acupressure — a gentle, noninvasive technique that provides similar benefits without needles.

Conditions we treat with acupuncture

Allergies and food sensitivities can affect nearly every system in your body. Many patients come to us with symptoms that have not responded to traditional treatments. At Integrative Medical Center, we’re proud to help our patients manage and reduce symptoms of: 

• Asthma and chronic sinusitis 
• Hay fever and seasonal allergies
• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and colitis 
• Inflammatory bowel diseases
• Recurring upper respiratory infections in children
• Chronic pain and joint inflammation
• Autoimmune-related conditions 

Our techniques target both conventional and often-overlooked triggers, including hidden food sensitivities and environmental allergens. 

Restoring immune function and reducing inflammation

Instead of suppressing allergic reactions and medications, our focus is on identifying the underlying triggers and restoring immune balance. Benefits of this approach include: 

• Long-term allergy relief
• Reduce dependency on medication
• Improved digestion and gut health 
• Fewer flare-ups of chronic inflammatory conditions 

A strong immune system enables your body to tolerate everyday exposures better and significantly reduces inflammation-related symptoms over time.

Personalized nutritional and lifestyle support

Lastly, we support our allergy elimination services with a thorough nutritional and lifestyle program. We provide tailored recommendations that work alongside your treatment plan to support immune health and long-term wellness. Your specific support may include: 

• Dietary planning (e.g., anti-inflammatory diets, pH balance support)
• Detoxification protocols
• Weight management strategies
• Use of essential supplements like antioxidants 

Our team is here to help people of all ages reduce allergy symptoms and chronic inflammation using a safe, effective, and affordable approach.
