Every year, many people suffer from hay fever (pollen allergy). Typical symptoms such as a runny or blocked nose, itchy and watery eyes, sneezing fits, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating can significantly reduce quality of life. In addition to medication and conventional treatments, more and more people are looking for alternative or complementary options. One of these options is the hay fever piercing.
On this page, you’ll learn what a hay fever piercing is, where it is placed, how its effect is explained, who it may be suitable for, and what you should know before getting it pierced.
Discover the benefits of Hay Fever Piercing through our client testimonials.
What Is a Hay Fever Piercing?
The hay fever piercing is a specific ear piercing based on principles of acupuncture and acupressure. A particular point in the ear is pierced that, according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is associated with the respiratory system, nose, and immune system.
The piercing is intended to continuously stimulate this point and may help reduce allergic reactions such as hay fever symptoms. Many clients report noticeable relief during the pollen season.
Where Is the Hay Fever Piercing Located?
The hay fever piercing is placed in the inner area of the ear cartilage. The exact location is determined individually and is based on acupuncture points linked to the upper respiratory tract and the immune system.
Precise placement is essential to trigger the desired stimulus.
For this reason, we take sufficient time for a personal consultation before every piercing. We use the same measuring device commonly used in acupuncture to identify your individual trigger point on the ear.
How can a hay fever piercing work?
The potential effect of the hay fever piercing is based on the principle of continuous stimulation of an acupuncture point. Unlike temporary acupuncture treatments, the stimulus from the piercing remains constant.
Clients frequently report fewer sneezing attacks, a reduction in runny or blocked noses, and less itchy or watery eyes. Overall, this may lead to noticeably improved breathing. In some cases, a reduced need for antihistamines is also reported.
Important:
The effect can vary greatly from person to person and is not scientifically proven. The hay fever piercing does not replace medical treatment.
Who Is a hay fever piercing suitable for?
A hay fever piercing may be of interest to people who suffer from seasonal hay fever or pollen allergies. It is especially appealing to those who do not tolerate medication well, wish to reduce medication use, or are looking for a complementary, natural form of support. Openness to alternative methods is an important prerequisite.
The piercing is not suitable for individuals with acute ear infections, certain medical conditions, or other medical contraindications. If in doubt, we recommend consulting a doctor beforehand.

Starting point
Very strong allergic hay fever reactions during the season. I work outdoors all the time and therefore suffer severely from it, despite having to take medication every day.

Effect
It really took a long time for everything to heal completely. Since last spring was relatively wet, I decided to properly evaluate the result this year.
Based on my experiences and observations this spring, I am happy to say that I am more than satisfied with the result.
Apart from the fact that many friends and acquaintances initially thought I had a tick on my ear, I can report only positive things about the piercing. I would recommend it to anyone who suffers from these symptoms. It has helped me a great deal, and I now have almost no complaints at all.
With this email, I would also like to sincerely thank you and your team for the excellent consultation and your exceptional warmth and friendliness. No matter what my concern was, I was always advised in an outstanding and friendly manner. With you, I simply feel comfortable and well taken care of.
