Environmental Allergy: Nutrition for Relief

BioCoherence Meditation

In this space of deep relaxation, bring awareness to the acupuncture points that can assist in alleviating environmental allergies.

LI4, known as Hegu, is located in the webbing between your thumb and index finger. This point is vital for boosting immunity and supporting your body's defense against allergens. Visualize a warm, golden light emanating from this area, strengthening your immune system and enhancing your overall vitality.

Next, focus on LI11, or Quchi, located at the outer elbow crease. This point helps clear heat and reduce inflammation. Imagine a soothing coolness flowing from this area, calming any irritation and promoting a sense of relief throughout your body.

Now, bring attention to BL12, Fengmen, found on the upper back, two finger widths from the spine at the level of the second thoracic vertebra. Visualize this point as a shield, expelling the wind and protecting you from external environmental factors. Feel the gentle flow of energy as it sweeps away discomfort.

Lastly, connect with LU9, Taiyuan, located on the wrist, just above the radial artery. This point strengthens the lungs, enhancing your breath and creating openness. Picture this area filling with fresh, revitalizing energy, allowing you to breathe deeply and freely.

As you meditate on these points, visualize their energies harmonizing within you. Sense the balance restoring, alleviating sneezing and skin irritation, creating a protective barrier against environmental sensitivities. Allow each breath to deepen your connection to these points, reinforcing your body's natural ability to heal and protect itself.

With each inhalation, invite in strength and immunity. With every exhalation, release any tension or discomfort. Continue to breathe deeply, embracing the natural flow of energy, and trust in the process of balance and healing.
