🌸 Seasonal Allergy Support at Six Branches 🌸
Any day now, flowers will start to bloom and pollen will fill the air. We know many of our patients experience seasonal allergies—runny nose, itchy eyes, sneezing, and congestion. In East Asian medicine, these symptoms often reflect an imbalance in the immune and respiratory systems, sometimes tied to underlying deficiencies or inflammation.
Acupuncture is a great support for seasonal allergies and can help relieve symptoms like congestion, itching, and watery eyes.
At Six Branches, we also recommend a combination of Eastern and Western support to ease symptoms naturally between acupuncture sessions:
🌿 Bi Yan Pian
A classic Chinese herbal formula traditionally used for nasal congestion, sinus pressure, and watery eyes. Bi Yan Pian helps open the nasal passages, reduce inflammation, and support the body's natural defenses against allergens.
💊 D-Hist by Ortho Molecular
A well-researched blend of natural compounds including quercetin, stinging nettle, N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), and vitamin C. D-Hist works to stabilize mast cells, reduce histamine release, and thin mucus, offering effective relief without drowsiness.
Used together, these two formulas can calm your system, reduce reactivity, and help you breathe easier through allergy season. If you suffer from seasonal allergies, ask your acupuncturist about these products the next time you are here, or text the front desk to come pick some up!
