Description
Yuan Li and co-authors review, in a 2025 paper, how acupuncture may ease allergic diseases by calming mast cells. Mast cells drive asthma, hay fever, and skin allergies when they burst and spill signal chemicals. The review gathers proof that needle therapy steadies those cells.
The team screened studies from 2010 to 2025 and kept 365 papers on people and animals. Acupuncture cut mast cell bursting and lowered histamine and IgE levels. It also lowered pro-swelling signals and raised a calming one, through known inflammation pathways. Clinic results improved asthma airflow and eased nose and skin symptoms. Animal work showed fewer invading immune cells and less fiery cell death. The authors back acupuncture as a safe add-on for allergy care.
