As you continue to relax, bring your awareness to the acupuncture points that will support you in alleviating allergy-related cough, throat irritation, and chest tightness.

Begin with LU7, located on the wrist, just above the thumb. This point, known as Lieque, opens the lungs, allowing for easier breathing and releasing any tightness. Visualize a gentle flow of air moving freely through your lungs, easing any discomfort.

Next, focus on CV22, found in the center of the throat, just above the sternum. Tiantu, as it is called, clears the throat and alleviates irritation. Picture this area becoming warm and open, allowing soothing energy to wash away any tension.

Now, turn your attention to BL13, located on the back, near the spine, at the level of the lungs. Feishu strengthens the lungs, reinforcing their ability to function optimally. Envision a radiant light surrounding this point, nurturing your lungs and enhancing their strength.

Finally, consider LI4, positioned on the hand, between the thumb and index finger. Hegu boosts immunity, providing extra support against allergens. Imagine a protective shield forming around your body, empowering your immune system to respond effectively.

As you visualize these points, breathe deeply and allow the energy to harmonize within you. With each breath, feel the irritation dissipating, the tightness loosening, and the balance returning to your body. Trust this natural process as you align with the healing energies of these acupuncture points, guiding your body toward a state of comfort and ease. Embrace this moment, knowing that relief is within reach.
