It's cedar fever time again in South Texas. Mountain cedar pollen erupts from the trees and is spread all over the region, leading to cedar allergy sufferers experiencing congestion, irritated eyes, coughing, sneezing, and throat irritation. As the name "cedar fever" suggests, some also will run a low-grade fever due to the major inflammatory response their bodies generate in reaction to the high pollen levels.
In the Austin, San Antonio, and Texas Hill Country regions, mountain cedar pollen is produced in huge quantities from December through February. For those who suffer from cedar allergies, even the allergy remedies that work most of the time are simply no match for the massive amounts of pollen produced by the numerous mountain cedar trees in the area.
A popular segment on the local news is to show someone shaking a cedar tree branch so that a cloud of the fine, dust-like pollen is released. This fine pollen is easily blown from the trees and distributed in the blustery winds that are common during the cedar season. So much pollen can be produced by the numerous mountain cedar trees in the region that the pollen will actually go off the pollen count scale and begin to register as an air pollutant at times. It's no wonder that cedar fever can be so miserable to go through!
You can't avoid the cedar pollen, but fortunately there's a new way to eliminate cedar fever. This method is painless, fast, amazingly effective, and the effects can last for years from a single office visit. It may seem a bit strange, but the results speak for themselves for those who experience it.
Basically, it is possible to stimulate the body's acupuncture meridians in a very specific way - without needles, I might add - to desensitize the body to cedar fever. There are a few variations of this approach, but they all use some type of acupuncture/acupressure stimulation to re-set the body to not react to cedar pollen (or other allergens depending on what the individual is being desensitized to). In my office, I use what is called "cold" laser to stimulate the acupuncture points, and it allows for fast treatment that is completely painless. In fact, other than the laser wand touching the points, there is no sensation at all, which makes it a very patient-friendly, even to young children.
The effects of the desensitization work very fast - usually within 24 hours. Better yet, the effects are long-lasting. In most cases, only a single desensitization procedure is needed to get through the entire mountain cedar season, and for many people the effects last for several mountain cedar seasons to come. In other words, in most cases a single desensitization procedure will last for at least a few years without any "boosters" or any other ongoing treatment!
Most who undergo this type of allergy desensitization find that their cedar allergies become a thing of the past.
