Summer is on the way at long last – we can welcome back the longer evenings, sunny days and of course summer holidays to look forward to. As winter leaves, we also say goodbye to the cold and flu season – however it is important to be mindful of the other ailments and health issues that can be a problem in the warmer months of the year.
Something that can help with many summer health problems is the ancient Chinese medicine, acupuncture. Going to a qualified and experienced acupuncturist like this acupuncture Tewkesbury based clinic www.purelandsacu.co.uk/acupuncture-tewkesbury can help with many summer ailments like these…
Insect Bites and Stings – Lots of insects come out in the summer and although in the UK most are harmless, stings and bites can be irritating and, in some people, cause an allergic reaction. Acupuncture helps to bring down swelling and itchiness caused by insect bites and stings, from wasp stings to mosquito bites.
Hay fever – Many people suffer from hay fever throughout the spring and the summer months. It is caused by an immune response to pollen in the air which makes it difficult to spend time outdoors. Acupuncture can help to calm this allergic response down so you can enjoy the good weather.
Food Poisoning – In the summer, temperatures are higher and this can mean that food poisoning is more likely if you aren’t careful – food left out too long and outdoor dining can cause food poisoning to be more prevalent. Acupuncture can help your body to heal after a bout of food poisoning.
