Effectively Reducing Allergies by 85% to 90%

If you are well aware of the familiar sensation when an allergy begins to flare up, the ongoing annoyance of symptoms or the worry of an unexpected exposure consistently stops you from fully enjoying life, you have arrived at the right place.

We frequently encounter situations involving friends or family members, and even children who suffer from food, environmental, or chemical allergies. Patients visit our acupuncture clinic in Edina, MN, in a quest for allergy relief, having not found long-term success with conventional doctors and allergy treatments.

Allergic reactions result from an "overly reactive" or malfunctioning immune system. The conventional Western medicine usually manages allergies by suppressing the immune response with antihistamines or advising patients to avoid the allergens. The cost of an EPI Pen for a life-threatening anaphylactic shock can be quite high. The necessity of taking antihistamines daily or avoiding allergens is a significant inconvenience.

In our clinic, we offer Auricular Therapy, which has demonstrated an 85% to 90% long-term remission rate for patients without requiring medication or daily antihistamines. Auricular therapy is a minimally invasive, drug-free technique. This method aims to reprogram the body's immune response to allergens, achieving lasting remission. Furthermore, it removes the necessity for numerous painful skin-prick tests at the allergist's office.

How does Auricular Therapy work?

1. Diagnosis: Our allergy specialist will begin with the elimination process to identify the specific allergens affecting you. If you have a report from your conventional medicine doctor listing the allergens you are sensitive to, this will expedite our process. If you suspect an unknown allergy, we will collaborate with you to determine the source of your reaction. This might involve avoiding specific exposures and maintaining an allergy diary/log.

2. Treatment: After identifying the allergen, we will locate the reaction point in your ear to the allergen. A soft and tiny Spinex pin will be inserted horizontally to treat the allergy reaction point. Our patients often wonder about the pain level induced by this small pin compared to syringe needles used in a medical doctor's office or ear piercing experience. Our ear comprises soft cartilage, and the pin is very tiny and thin in diameter, minimizing pain to nearly painless. It is often painless for children to undergo pin insertion.

3. Treatment duration: The pin will remain in place for 3-4 weeks. A small piece of medical-grade adhesive tape will secure the pin in place, and a small ear cover will be provided to help protect the ear from water drops during showers.
