Did you know that May is National Mental Health Awareness Month? There is increasing public awareness around many mental health conditions and ways they can be helped. Acupuncture has a long history of being used to treat mental health conditions. Current research has demonstrated that anxiety, one very common mental health concern, can benefit from acupuncture.

Springtime is arriving! While we welcome the days growing longer and the beautiful flowers blooming, many don’t welcome the seasonal allergies that also arrive with springtime. We are already starting to see people coming into the clinic with symptoms of seasonal allergies. Do you suffer from itchy watery eyes, sneezing, congestion, fatigue, or skin irritation when spring arrives?

Acupuncture is becoming more well known and a sought out modality for health care and researchers are paying attention! More and more research is coming out about the effectiveness of acupuncture for various health conditions. Here we’re excited to highlight research showing the effectiveness of acupuncture for allergy symptoms.
