By Steven Homoky | Published February 23, 2026

AlergyCapMap4There is no place safe from allergies in America, and some cities are more problematic than others. The Allergy Capitals is an annual research project of the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) to identify “the 100 most challenging places to live with allergies” during the spring and fall seasons.

Here is the list of the top 100. If you live in the DFW area we are now at #10. The good news is there is an option to the traditional treatments. The acupuncture/acupressure techniques that I use have been getting great results.  If you are tired of sneezing, having itchy eyes, or being congested you should give me a call to found out more.

You’re Getting Sleepy…

Enjoying Naps in the Winter Season

Most mammals are polyphasic sleepers, meaning that they sleep for short periods throughout the day. For humans, days are divided into two distinct periods, one for sleep and one for wakefulness, which is a monophasic sleep pattern. However, this may be a product of living in an industrialized world and not the natural sleep pattern of humans. In many cultures, young children and elderly take naps midday.
