Acupuncture for hayfever
Helping you through the summer
Acupuncture for hayfever can be great for reducing your sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, stuffy head, and all the other horrible symptoms that can accompany a walk in the park when you're suffering from hayfever. Acupuncture and acupressure can both be really effective.
It
varies from person to person, but for some people ear acupressure for
hayfever really works! Jessica is offering
one-off consultations in ear acupressure for hayfever. She'll
assess your individual case and apply an acupressure seed to your ear as
described below. You'll get an instruction sheet and extra seeds
to take away, together with photos of your ears (ears really are very
individual!) which Jessica will mark with the right spots. The
appointment will take about 30 minutes and you'll be all set to continue treatment
at home for up to two months.
This one-off consultation is £30, with a free follow-up consultation by email.
Acupressure uses 'ear seeds' that are left on your ear. To find the perfect acupoints for you Jessica will press several areas on your ear gently. In the right spot for you she'll apply a small seed, and a tiny piece of surgical tape to hold it in place. The seed will apply continuous gentle acupressure to the point, and it may feel quite tender if your hayfever is in full swing.
As well as using acupuncture or acupressure during the hayfever season, great results can come from from starting treatment a few months earlier, and strengthening your system up front. Acupuncture can also help with other types of allergies.

Case study |
"I have always wanted to go for acupuncture and was really pleased when a friend recommended Jessica. I went to her to work on a variety of things, not least of which was my annual summer allergies. This year, my allergies have been worse than ever. I work on music festivals which means I spend a lot of time in grassy fields over the summer. With chronic allergies, I was really struggling to do my job. After seeing Jessica three times, I saw a massive improvement. After a few further sessions, I can honestly say that I haven't had an allergy attack for weeks. In addition to alleviating my allergy problems, I also feel that acupuncture has brought me more peace and well being than I have felt in ages. Jessica is very professional but at the same time she makes you feel very comfortable and relaxed with the process. I would recommend an acupuncture session with Jessica to anyone!"
