Why Am I So Sneezy? Let’s Talk Allergies (and How Acupuncture Can Help!)

By Toni Twitty

If you’re walking around with itchy eyes, a runny nose, and a sinus headache that makes your head feel like a balloon—welcome to Oklahoma allergy season. It’s rough out there, and if you’re anything like the patients we see every day at Be Well Acupuncture, you’re ready for some relief that actually works.

You may have tried all the over-the-counter stuff: antihistamines, nasal sprays, eye drops… maybe even a neti pot (a brave soul, if so). And while these can take the edge off, they usually don’t get to the root cause—and they often come with annoying side effects like drowsiness, dry mouth, or feeling like you’re stuck in a brain fog. That’s where acupuncture comes in. Acupuncture for Allergies? Yes, Really.

Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to treat the underlying imbalances that lead to things like chronic congestion, sinus pressure, itchy skin, and even asthma flare-ups. In Chinese medicine, we don’t just look at the symptoms—we look at why your body is reacting this way in the first place.

Are your immune and digestive systems out of sync?
Is your “Wei Qi” (think: your body’s energetic immune defense) a little on the weak side?
Is stress making your allergies worse? (Spoiler: It often does.)

By gently stimulating specific acupuncture points, we can help calm your immune system, reduce inflammation, and get your body back in balance so it stops overreacting to things like pollen, mold, pet dander, or food triggers.

Real People. Real Results. We’ve seen patients who used to suffer year-round finally breathe freely. Parents tell us their kids are sleeping better and have fewer school absences. And maybe best of all? Our patients feel more like themselves again—because chronic allergies can be exhausting.

A Holistic, Natural Approach At Be Well Acupuncture, we combine acupuncture with simple, personalized tips for nutrition, lifestyle, and natural supplements (if needed). No foggy brain. No dependency. Just a healthier, more resilient version of you.

So if you’re tired of being sneezy, itchy, puffy, and tired—let’s talk. We’d love to help you breathe easier, sleep better, and feel good in your body again.
