Course Overview

Allergies, in particular hay fever, represent the fastest rising pathology around the world. Inherited “Atopic” conditions affect children at an early age and may even prove quite handicapping in some cases.
Chinese medicine and acupuncture in particular are quite effective in managing not only the symptoms during the acute phase, but also in treating the deeper roots.
