Conquer Hay Fever with Remedial Massage and Acupressure
Spring is Here, and So Are Seasonal Allergies!
Suffering from sneezing, runny nose, or itchy eyes? Hay fever can really affect your day-to-
day life. While over-the-counter medications provide temporary relief, why not try a natural, lasting
approach with remedial massage and acupressure?
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), hay fever is believed to be caused by an imbalance
in the body’s defensive energy (Wei Qi). Weakness in this energy can make you more
sensitive to allergens like pollen, leading to symptoms such as nasal congestion, headaches,
and sinus pressure.
Through targeted acupressure, we can stimulate specific points on the body, such as:
• LI-4 (Hegu) and LI-20 (Yingxiang) to open nasal passages and relieve congestion
• Yintang to alleviate sinus headaches and pressure

Research-backed: A study conducted by Yaqun Liang, PhD, RMIT University (2023)
titled “Self-Administered Acupressure for the Management of Allergic Rhinitis” shows that
acupressure can effectively reduce symptoms like sneezing, nasal congestion, and improve
breathing quality by promoting better immune system function. ✨
