It’s allergy season, and the best way to combat allergies might be with acupuncture. A study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine by German researchers took 422 allergy sufferers and broke them into three groups. The first group received acupuncture treatments and an antihistamine, the second group received acupuncture in places that don’t impact allergies and an antihistamine, and the third group only received an antihistamine. After the study finished 71% of study participants said they felt the benefits of the acupuncture treatment. Though it is worth noting 56% of participants in group 2 also claimed to feel the benefits– which could indicate the placebo effect is also strong with acupuncture. | Find out more on the study on Andrew Weil’s website
