Temporary: Acupuncture can provide you with temporary relief. For long term relief and natural treatment of allergies, you may want to consider allergen desensitization under the guidance of a board certified allergist. Consult one and get tested and see if you are a candidate.

Agree w Dr. Mumneh: Acpuncture can help with allergies but needs to be repeated if the allergen is still present. What i find acupuncture can be particularly helpful with is - the pain that can sometimes result from allergies. Take care.
