It’s Allergy Season In Tennessee!
Did you know Knoxville consistently ranks among the Top 10 most challenging cities for allergy sufferers in the U.S.? With our beautiful trees, grasses, and changing seasons come high pollen counts and airborne allergens that make many people miserable each fall.
If you’re struggling with sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes, or sinus headaches this time of year, there’s good news—Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment (SAAT) is a simple, effective way to get lasting relief.
What Is SAAT?
SAAT is a highly specialized acupuncture technique that targets allergies at their root. Using just one tiny, sterile needle placed on the ear, SAAT helps calm your body’s overactive response to allergens. The needle stays in place for several weeks, retraining the immune system and reducing sensitivity long-term.
Which Allergies Can SAAT Help?
SAAT isn’t just for fall pollen allergies. It can be used for:
• Ragweed and weed pollen
• Mold spores (common in damp fall leaves)
• Grass and tree pollen
• Dust mites and pet dander
• Food allergies and sensitivities
• Chemical and environmental triggers
Many patients choose to address multiple allergies at once for the best overall results.
When Is the Best Time for Treatment?
Fall allergies in East Tennessee typically peak from late August through early November. The best time to start SAAT is before or early in allergy season, so your immune system has time to calm down before pollen counts reach their highest levels. However, if you’re already suffering, it’s not too late—patients often experience relief within weeks of treatment.
What to Expect After Treatment
After a brief consultation and testing process, the tiny needle is placed on the ear and covered with medical tape. You can go about your normal activities—exercise, showering, and sleeping as usual. Over the next several weeks, most patients notice:
• Decreased congestion and sinus pressure
• Less sneezing and itchy, watery eyes
• Better sleep and more energy
• Improved tolerance to environmental triggers
Many patients report lasting relief even into the next allergy season and beyond.
⸻
If you’re tired of relying on antihistamines or allergy shots, SAAT may be the lasting solution you’ve been looking for.
Fall appointments fill quickly, especially in Knoxville where allergies are a year-round struggle. Call West Knox Acupuncture today to schedule your SAAT consultation and start enjoying the season again—without the sniffles.
