Acupuncture for seasonal allergies
For a stuffy, sneezy allergy season, acupuncture may modestly ease your symptoms and cut back a little on allergy medication. The effect is small and works best alongside your usual care.
How it can help
- May ease sneezing, stuffiness, and that foggy allergy feeling.
- Used as an add-on to your usual allergy care, not a replacement.
- Think of it as seasonal support you might repeat each year.
What the research shows
- In a large trial, people with pollen allergies who got acupuncture felt a bit better and used a little less allergy medication than those who got a placebo version.
- A major US ear, nose and throat guideline lists acupuncture as an option for people who want a non-drug approach.
- The gains were small and faded within a couple of months, so think of it as seasonal support.
