What Natural Relief Really Looks Like

Hay fever doesn’t have to rule your life. Our clients are proof

Most people think hay fever relief means antihistamines and hoping for the best. But antihistamines only mask the symptoms, and often leave you tired, foggy, and still struggling.

We do things differently.

Our Hay Fever Reset Plan is rooted in real results:

✔️ Backed by clinical research

✔️ Targets the root cause, not just the surface

✔️ Uses acupuncture, gentle natural remedies, and immune support to help your body heal itself

This isn’t a quick fix. It's a better way forward,  one that helps you feel clear, calm, and in control again.

Backed by Science, Rooted in Nature

Real relief starts with real research.
Clinical studies show that acupuncture doesn’t just ease hay fever symptoms, it helps restore balance by regulating the immune system.

Here’s what the evidence says: 

✔ Up to 40%+ improvement in nasal symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and congestion in controlled trials

✔ Patients report longer-lasting relief than with antihistamines, with fewer side effects

✔ Improved sleep, clearer breathing, and more energy reported by acupuncture patients during peak allergy season 

 ✔ Chrysanthemum flower, one of the natural remedies used in our clinic, was shown to reduce IgE levels by 18%,  a key marker in allergy response 
✔ Studies confirm acupuncture is a safe, drug-free treatment for allergic rhinitis, recommended by Evidence Based Acupuncture (EBA) and supported by the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) 

Why it works: Most hay fever treatments mask the symptoms. Acupuncture works differently, it helps calm your overactive immune system, the root cause of allergic reactions.

Is acupuncture painful?
It is natural to feel a little apprehensive about needles, but acupuncture is very different from a standard injection or blood test. We use ultra-fine, sterile needles, often no thicker than a human hair. Most people feel only a mild tingling or a dull, heavy ache when the needle reaches the right point. Many of our patients find the experience so relaxing that they actually fall asleep during treatment. If you ever feel any significant discomfort, simply let us know; we work at your pace to ensure you always feel at ease.


Is acupuncture covered by insurance or healthcare plans in Middlesbrough?
If you have a healthcare plan or insurance policy that lists acupuncture, it's worth double-checking with your provider to ensure they will cover the cost of treatments. Many of our patients successfully claim the cost of their acupuncture sessions back. Please note that we require payment upfront for your treatment, and we will provide you with a receipt so you can claim the cost back through your insurance or healthcare plan.
Is it safe and who will be treating me?
Your safety is my absolute priority. I’m Deanna Thomas, a degree-qualified acupuncturist registered with the British Acupuncture Council. You’ll be treated by me personally at every visit.
I use only single-use, pre-sterilised needles, which are opened in front of you and safely disposed of immediately after your session. Treatments take place in a calm, private setting where your comfort and wellbeing always come first.


How does acupuncture actually work?
Acupuncture bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and modern science. By placing needles at specific points, we stimulate sensory nerves under the skin and muscles. This prompts your body to produce natural substances, such as pain-relieving endorphins, which help to reduce inflammation and improve circulation. Traditionally, we describe this as "unblocking obstructions" to restore balance to your body’s energy. Whether you view it through a traditional or medical lens, the goal is the same: to trigger your body’s innate ability to heal itself.



What happens during my first session?
We aim to make your first visit as unhurried and comfortable as possible. We begin with a medical diagnosis and a gentle conversation about your medical history, lifestyle, and current health concerns. This helps us understand the root cause of your symptoms. Once we have a clear plan, you will receive your first acupuncture treatment during the same visit. By the time you leave our Acklam clinic, you will have a clear understanding of your path forward and will have already taken your first step toward feeling better.


Is acupuncture recognised by the NHS?
Yes, acupuncture is increasingly recognised within the modern healthcare system. While it is a complementary therapy, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), which provides evidence-based pathways for the NHS, specifically recommends acupuncture as a treatment option for chronic primary pain, tension-type headaches, and migraines. Many GPs now suggest acupuncture as an effective way to manage pain and reduce reliance on long-term medication.
