Allergy symptoms frequently present as a runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, sneezing, and congestion, especially during seasonal changes. Allergies arise when the immune system reacts excessively to substances such as pollen, dust, or animal dander. These symptoms can range from mildly irritating to significantly disruptive to daily life. Addressing allergies can involve acupuncture to balance immune responses, dietary modifications to reduce systemic inflammation, and the use of herbal supplements. Managing home and environmental exposures may also be helpful. Identifying and eliminating food triggers or irritants can further reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
