Managing Hayfever and Sinus Issues with Chinese Medicine

Sinus issues are a common problem that many people face, ranging from hay fever and nasal congestion to post-nasal drip, sinus headaches, and facial pain. These symptoms not only cause discomfort but can also lead to other complications such as poor sleep quality, snoring, neck and jaw tension, red and itchy eyes, and a general feeling of fatigue and heaviness.

At our clinic, we combine the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with modern expertise to address both the symptoms and underlying causes of sinus issues. By using acupuncture, herbal medicine, and tailored lifestyle advice, we aim to help you breathe easier, sleep better, and feel more energised.

How Chinese Medicine Can Help

  1. Acupuncture for Symptom Relief
  • Acupuncture is a powerful tool for managing sinus symptoms such as pain, congestion, and inflammation.
  • Many patients experience relief from nasal blockage or sinus pressure even after the first treatment.
  1. Customised Herbal Medicine
  • Herbal formulas are tailored to each individual, targeting both immediate symptom relief and the root causes of sinus issues from a TCM perspective.
  • Common goals include clearing heat, resolving dampness, and strengthening internal organ systems to improve overall resilience.
  • Herbs are often taken twice daily, with adjustments made throughout the course of treatment as symptoms improve.
  1. Lifestyle and Stress Management
  • Sinus issues are often exacerbated by allergens, stress, and immune imbalances. Our approach includes:
    • Dietary guidance to reduce inflammation and address underlying triggers.
    • Stress reduction techniques, including mindfulness and relaxation practices, to lower the impact of stress on sinus health.
    • Advice on managing environmental triggers to prevent future flare-ups.

Understanding Sinus Issues in TCM

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, sinus problems are often linked to imbalances in the lungs, spleen, or the presence of dampness and heat in the body. By addressing these factors, we aim to restore harmony and improve your body’s ability to cope with allergens, inflammation, and other triggers. This holistic approach not only alleviates sinus symptoms but also enhances overall well-being.
