This week sees two established associations raising awareness.
Running concurrently together, it’s both allergy awareness week and national stop snoring week.
Whilst not excessively debilitating, both of these conditions can affect a persons’ general well-being significantly.
Do you have problems with your breathing or sinuses?
Many allergy sufferers, and especially those suffering with the all too common side-effects of hay fever at this time of year will experience some sort of breathing difficulties.
Like wise, those who snore and possibly encounter sleep apnoea too, are prone to never getting good quality sleep. This affliction doesn’t just affect the sufferer. Those who share a room with the snorer and other persons in the same house can also be affected.
Air quality plays a significant factor in allergies. The route cause can often be sinus related, as many sinus issues go undetected. Yet sinus related issues are one of the primary reasons why people snore or suffer with the side-effects of allergens in the first place.
We treat the cause, not the symptoms!
At the Paula Duffin Health & Wellness Clinic, we like to treat the cause and not the symptoms. We offer a wide range of complementary treatments.
Ear candling is ideal for allergy sufferers, and acupuncture is known to have significant benefits for sinus related issues.
Acupuncture – how it works…
By stimulating the central nervous system, acupuncture releases chemicals called neurotransmitters along with hormones. These natural chemicals dull pain, by stimulating serotonin and endorphins. The hormones released are the feel good kind. Many people relax so deeply they may even fall asleep during treatment.
Ultimately, acupuncture stimulates our bodies’ natural healing abilities. This is turn gives our immune system a boost.
Consider our motivational weight management programme?
Overweight people are certainly more prone to snoring as they frequently have constricted airways. Here at the Paula Duffin Health & Wellness Clinic we can help with weight management too. Using an established motivational programme, we can explore the habits, emotions and behaviours behind your weight issues.
Get in touch today if you can relate to any of the problems mentioned. Together we will find an effective treatment for your health issues.
