ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENT FOR SINUSITIS
ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENT FOR SINUSITIS
Sinus allergies, commonly referred to as allergic rhinitis, occur when there is an allergic response affecting the tissue that lines your sinus cavity. This cavity is typically hollow and covered with mucosal tissue, which helps to humidify the air you inhale and captures germs before they reach your lungs.
Sinus allergies lead to inflammation and swelling of the mucosal tissue due to allergens, resulting in difficulty breathing through the nose. Additionally, the allergic response stimulates increased mucus production, potentially causing a runny nose or postnasal drip.
Sinus allergy treatment typically involves antihistamines to alleviate allergic reactions anderoids to minimize inflammation. If these medical options do not relieve your, acupuncture could be a treatment worth exploring.
HOW DOES ACUPUNCTURE WORK FOR SINUS ISSUES?
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is founded on principle that health relies on the movement of qi (energy) within the body. This energy circulates through unseen channels called meridians. Qi is thought to maintain balance in the body and enhance its inherent healing capabilities. When the flow of qi is obstructed or interrupted, it can adversely affect both physical and emotional health.
During an acupuncture session, a licensed acupuncturist inserts very thin needles into your skin to stimulate certain points, depending on the symptoms you’re addressing. According to TCM, this stimulation helps to clear blockages along your meridians, restoring the flow of qi through your body.
Your sinuses are four pairs of connected spaces in your skull behind your forehead, eyes, nose, and cheeks. They produce mucus that drains directly into and through your nose, helping keep bacteria, dirt, and other irritants out.
They are usually empty except for the air that moves through the channels linking them. However, they can become blocked due to: Allergies or hay fever, Viral infections like a cold or COVID-19, Pollutants like dust or smoke, and Nasal polyps. If your sinuses are blocked, you might feel pressure building up in your face. You might also feel congested and develop a headache.
COMMON SYMPTOMS OF SINUSITIS:
