Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Age between 18 and 70 inclusive; a history of at least two years of typical symptoms of SAR, or of persistent allergic rhinitis (PAR) with seasonal exacerbation, including watery rhinorrhoea, sneezing, nasal obstruction and nasal and ocular itch. Although it is common for SAR sufferers to be also sensitised to allergens such as house dust mites, seasonal worsening of symptoms markedly increases morbidity and it is considered unlikely that such worsening of symptoms during the period of high grass pollen counts would be due to PAR rather than to SAR. However, a positive skin\-prick test to rye grass pollen will be required for all participants.
Exclusion Criteria
- •History of Human immunodeficiency virus(HIV); current pregnancy or breast\-feeding; other current active respiratory diseases such as asthma, sinusitis, and rhinitis medicamentosa; pollen desensitization during the last 6 months; nasal polyposis; other structural defects of the upper respiratory tract; hepatitis B or C; and, currently use systemic corticosteroid therapy or anticoagulant medications. Respondents with atopic dermatitis and who are regularly using topical corticosteroids will also be excluded. In addition, subjects who have experienced acupuncture within the last 24 months will be excluded.
