1 Answer

Answer :

answer:First of all, you should go to a qualified medical professional for your allergies, not an accupuncturist. There is no clinical or scientific reason why someone could look at your tongue and determine that you shouldn’t eat dairy product. Best thing to do for allergies is antihistamines, buffered hypertonic saline nasal sinus irrigation, nasal steroids, and avoidance of allergans.
