Did you know there is Acupuncture For Sinus?



With a transition in seasons, it's natural that sinus issues are flaring up. Sinus issues could range from congestion, runny nose or dryness in the sinuses. No matter how you look at it, it impedes the ease and breathing through the nose & can be irritating at times. 

What Organs Are Relation To Sinus?


In Traditional Chinese Medical Theory & Acupuncture the sinus is related to the following organs & channels. 


  • Lung
  • Large Intestine
  • Spleen
  • Stomach

These organs are classified as Earth (Spleen - Stomach)  & Metal ( Lung - Large Intestine). The Earth element is responsible for the mucous production affecting the nose. Metal is directly connected to the nose and the breathing process. 


Local Vs. Distal Acupuncture For Sinus


With a variety of schools and thought, this is a contested area. Both can work for this particular issue. Local needling on the face will increase circulation within sinus using the Stomach & Large Intestine channels. Distal needling will most likely do a combination of Lung, Large Intestine, Spleen & Stomach to cover the spectrum. There is no better or worst, it`s just the Acupuncturist preference.
