ALLERGIES are COMING!
Unusually strong pollen seasons this year
Some of the same regions of the country that experienced unusually cold temperatures this past winter are now in the middle of one of the worst pollen seasons in several years. The problem has been particularly bad in the Southeast, where allergy sufferers and clean-car lovers are dealing with a constant yellow blanket of near-record pollen. In normal seasons, a pollen count of 120 is considered high. Last week in Atlanta, the pollen count hit 5,733, the second-highest level on record, according to The Weather Channel.
You can track you local pollen count at POLLEN TRACKER.
Natural products
Acupuncture and Chinese herbs has a long history of effectively treating allergies. In general, acupuncture is known for its anti-systemic inflammatory effects and efficacy in calming the nervous system. These are two extremely important systems that correlate with allergic reactions. Herbal formulas are used to balance these two systems as well. Some of our staff use a natural productevery year to get them through a one-month period of allergies. They get the same results as from medications such as Claritin, without the side-effects.
