Many people who suffer from seasonal or consistent allergies find that holistic health treatments provide them with immediate relief without the worry of side effects that accompany drug therapy.
One alternative health care treatment that is beginning to play a bigger role in alleviating this malady is magnetic therapy. Because the use of magnets is thought to stimulate circulation, alternative health practitioners believe magnetic therapy can assist the respiratory system as well as support the body in removing the toxins that trigger the allergic response. This in turn increases the body’s energy level, accelerating the healing process and generally boosting the immune system.
Acupressure points for treating allergies
Use the illustration as a placement guide for magnetic therapy as an alternative health treatment for allergies.
To relieve allergies associated with chest congestion, breathing difficulties, asthma, coughing, and sore throats, place magnetic dots on Point A, in the hollow below the collarbone next to the breastbone.
To relieve allergies, particularly inflamed skin disorders (such as hives and rashes), itching, and fevers, place magnetic dots on Point B, on the top, outer end of the elbow crease and on Point C, two finger widths directly below the belly button, for relief of allergies that accompany constipation, gas, fatigue, general weakness, and insomnia.
To strengthen the whole body to prevent as well as relieve allergies, use magnetic dots on Point D, four finger widths below the kneecap on the outside of the leg.
As with any alternative medical treatment, consult your physician before beginning magnetic therapy.
