Fast Allergy Relief With Acupressure
Seasonal allergies can be problematic for most people no matter what season it is. People's first choice tends to be over-the-counter antihistamines and decongestants. Why not try doing acupressure for relief? In this blog, I had put together an allergy relief acupressure protocol to reduce allergy symptoms quickly.

Acupressure techniques for allergy relief is safe, effective, and costs you nothing. Plus, you can do it anywhere. Acupressure is based on specific acupuncture points that has specific functions on the body when stimulated.
Stimulate the following allergy relief acupuncture points for 1-3 minutes at a time. Depending on how severe your symptoms are will determine how often you need to do this protocol. I recommend doing it twice per day for mild to moderate symptoms. If symptoms are more severe then I recommend three to four times per day.
