Reader Feedback: Acupuncture Against Cat Allergies
Filed in archive Allergy: Diagnostics and Treatment , Hay Fever , Pet Allergies by ruth on May 8, 2007

On his experience of undergoing acupuncture to treat his cat and pollen allergies, Marc said,
Sorry for the delay, I wanted to make sure how well it worked before replying. Before the treatment, when I was exposed to a cat for a few hours (or even less), my eyes would start iching, my nose would run or get stuffy and I would start sneezing. Which took some time after I was away from the cat to go back to normal. Now I can spend any amount of time with the little critter, and although I sometimes still feel it a bit (mostly a bit of stuffiness), this goes away quickly. So I'd say it worked for me; and the stuffiness can usually be gotten rid of by simple breathing exercices or some Qi Gong (or Tai Chi).
Acupunture is starting to get accepted even among traditional medical practitioners. Ask your allergist for feedback. And ask your medical insurance
provider, too. Mine covers part of the costs of acupuncture treatment.Permalink: Reader Feedback: Acupuncture Against Cat Allergies
