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.

Every spring, millions of Americans grab an antihistamine medication, such as Zyrtec or Allegra, and brace themselves for another rough season. However, somewhere along the way, the pills seem to be less and less effective. You find yourself still waking up with a congested nose, itchy eyes, a scratchy throat, a dry cough, a foggy head, feeling lethargic, and unable to get through the day.

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, seeking allergy relief after not finding long-term success with conventional doctors and allergy treatments.

An allergy is a sign that your immune system needs help

Allergic reactions result from an "overly reactive" response of a malfunctioning immune system. Conventional Western medicine usually manages allergies by suppressing the immune response with antihistamines, advising patients to avoid the allergens, or prescribing an overly expensive course of allergy shots that need to be repeated over 5-6 years before you see results. The cost of an EPI Pen for a life-threatening anaphylactic shock can be quite high. The need to take antihistamines daily or avoid allergens is a significant inconvenience.

Why Your Allergy Med Does Not Address the Root Cause?

Pollen, pet dander, and dust aren't the problem. Allergies are what happen when your immune system overreacts to harmless substances and releases histamine, triggering the inflammation, congestion, itchy eyes, and headaches we know all too well. Antihistamines temporarily suppress your immune response to allergens. But they don't reset the behavior of your immune responses.

Our Cost-Effective, Long-Lasting, Immediate & Pain-Free Solution Addressing the Root Cause of The Issue

In our clinic, we offer Auricular Therapy, which has demonstrated a 85% to 90% long-term remission rate in patients without requiring medication or daily antihistamines, and without injections. 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.

What can we treat?

• Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS)

• Food allergies ~ peanut, tree nuts, fruits, vegetables, shellfish, red meat, gluten/wheat, soy, dairy, corn, eggs, sugar, and more

• Environmental allergies ~ dog, cat, animal dander, dust mites, mold, pollens, trees, grasses, weeds, poison ivy, and more

• Chemical allergies ~ food dyes; body & home care products such as fragrances, cleaning products, perfumes, and more

• Pharmaceutical & medical supply allergies ~ latex (rubber chemicals), adhesives, aspirin, penicillin, and more

• Reaction to Histamine: If you have chronic symptoms of swollen, congested sinuses/nose, post-nasal drip, a scratchy throat, a cough, feeling inflamed all the time, constant fatigue, and a foggy head, and you're constantly using Flonase, your body may be reacting to histamine. We can turn off your body's histamine response to reduce the symptoms.

• Auto-immune allergies ~ the body is allergic to itself and attacks its own cells 

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.

4. Treatment Result: You should observe an improvement in your condition immediately or within a few days. Your symptoms are expected to further diminish as the needle retention process continues. Additional treatments will be implemented to enhance the effectiveness of your care.
