Hay Fever and Allergies in Amsterdam
Amsterdam’s tree and grass pollen season significantly affects allergy sufferers each spring. Acupuncture at AlterPhysio Amsterdam offers a powerful, natural alternative to antihistamines.
Hay fever causes sneezing, itchy eyes, nasal congestion, and fatigue. In addition, the constant inflammation can trigger headaches and disrupt sleep.
How Acupuncture Treats Hay Fever
Regulating the Immune Response
In addition, Hay fever is an overreaction of the immune system to harmless pollen particles. Acupuncture modulates immune function and reduces this exaggerated response.
Moreover, it decreases IgE antibody production, the key driver of allergic reactions. With regular treatment, the immune system becomes less reactive over time.
Reducing Inflammation
Acupuncture reduces histamine release and inflammatory cytokine activity. This directly addresses the nasal and eye inflammation of hay fever.
Furthermore, it improves drainage from the sinuses, relieving congestion naturally. Many patients experience clear nasal passages within the first session.
Strengthening the Respiratory System
Acupuncture points on the lung meridian support respiratory health and resilience. Treatment before the pollen season can reduce the severity of symptoms significantly.
Additionally, we recommend starting treatment four to six weeks before peak pollen season. This builds a preventive effect rather than only treating active symptoms.
Allergies We Treat
Furthermore, We treat seasonal hay fever from grass, tree, and weed pollens. We also help with year-round allergies to dust mites, pet dander, and mould.
Therefore, acupuncture is relevant for allergy management throughout the entire year. A personalised treatment plan targets your specific allergens.
Acupuncture and Atopic Conditions
Atopic dermatitis (eczema) and allergic asthma often coexist with hay fever. Acupuncture can address all three as part of a systemic anti-inflammatory approach.
Beyond this, we combine acupuncture with dietary and lifestyle advice to optimise results. The gut microbiome plays a key role in immune regulation and allergy severity.
