The New Type of Allergy Shot
Each spring, millions brace for the onslaught of sneezing, congestion, and itchy eyes that come with seasonal allergies. For some, traditional allergy shots are the go-to solution—but what if there was a natural alternative that didn’t involve needles or drugs?
At Advanced Wellness, we’re seeing more people turn to holistic approaches for allergy relief—and the results are worth talking about. Let’s explore this “new type of allergy shot” that combines targeted chiropractic care with tried-and-true natural remedies.
Chiropractic Sinus Adjustments: Relief You Can Feel
One of the most effective—and often overlooked—tools in the fight against seasonal allergies is the chiropractic sinus adjustment. Gentle, precise techniques are used to release pressure in the facial bones and sinus cavities, helping improve drainage and reduce inflammation. Many patients report immediate relief in sinus pressure, clearer breathing, and less reliance on decongestants.
When your nervous system is functioning at its best, your body can respond more appropriately to allergens. That’s why regular chiropractic care, especially during allergy season, can make such a big difference.
Additional Support
Supplement Support: Strengthening the Body’s Response
Certain natural supplements can help calm the body’s histamine response and support the immune system through allergy season. A few we often recommend:
Antronex: Acts as a natural antihistamine by helping the body filter and remove excess histamine through improved blood flow and detoxification.
Allerplex: A blend of whole food nutrients and herbs that support the respiratory system and help regulate the body's natural inflammatory response to allergens.
Colloidal Silver: A tasteless, odorless liquid that has antimicrobial properties that can help reduce sinus infections and inflammation; when used in a neti pot, it may soothe irritated nasal passages and flush out allergens.
Probiotics: A balanced gut can lead to a more balanced immune response, making your body less reactive to allergens. You can learn more about the connection between gut microbiome and immunity at our Speaker Series: Inflammation, Immunity & the Microbiome: Building a Resilient Gut.
Local Honey: A Sweet Way to Build Tolerance
Eating small amounts of local honey may help your body gradually adapt to the pollen in your environment. While the science is still emerging, many people find that incorporating raw, local honey into their diet during allergy season offers mild symptom relief—and it doesn’t hurt that it tastes good, too.
Acupuncture: Balancing the Immune System Naturally
Acupuncture has long been used to address respiratory and immune issues, and seasonal allergies are no exception. By stimulating specific points along the body’s energy pathways, acupuncture can help reduce sinus congestion, relieve inflammation, and rebalance the immune system’s overreaction to pollen and other allergens.
Many patients find that regular acupuncture sessions during allergy season ease symptoms like congestion, itchy eyes, and fatigue—without the side effects of medication.
