Quelle (05 April 2018): http://www.healthcmi.com German researchers confirm the effectiveness of acupuncture for the treatment of allergies and sinus disorders. In an eight week clinical trial, patients receiving acupuncture required less medications and had fewer seasonal allergic rhinitis symptoms than control groups. Likewise, quality of life scores were significantly better in the acupuncture group than in either control group. Based on the evidence, the Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin researchers conclude that “acupuncture treatment was more effective than the symptomatic drug intervention.” The researchers screened 1,588 patients and accepted 414. Eligibility was determined at the outset of the local pollen season...Weiterlesen

Quelle (03 FEBRUARY 2017): http://www.healthcmi.com Acupuncture reduces inflammation and researchers have discovered how it works. In a laboratory controlled scientific investigation, a key biological marker has been identified, quantified, and directly correlated with the application of acupuncture. Acupuncture successfully downregulates a proinflammatory biochemical (tumor necrosis factor alpha), which results in anti-inflammatory responses. In addition, the researchers have mapped the neural pathways by which acupuncture signaling stimulates anti-inflammatory effects.   Crystal Structure of TNF-α Researchers in Korea have identified a mechanism by which acupuncture stimulation at the acupoint ST36 (Zusanli) has an anti-inflammatory effect. By downregulating tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α),...Weiterlesen

Quelle (10 June 2016): http://www.healthcmi.com Scientific evidence demonstrates that acupuncture alleviates allergic rhinitis and regulates antibodies. Acupuncture alleviates nasal and eye itching, sneezing, and runny nose for patients with allergic rhinitis. Researchers confirm that acupuncture successfully downregulates IgE (immunoglobulin E), an antibody active in hypersensitivity reactions, while simultaneously reducing symptoms of allergic rhinitis. In a highly controlled investigation published in the Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, university researchers present the first study to prove that acupuncture downregulates allergen specific IgE for dust mites. Researchers from Stanford, RMIT, Griffith, and Western Sydney Universities conclude that acupuncture alleviates persistent allergic rhinitis. Important...Weiterlesen
