I also understand that weight lifting can help reduce allergies, since the immune system is kind of a "luxury" system that cedes resources when the body is recovering from injury, and weightlifting is deliberate minor injury.

Maybe acupuncture could work through the same mechanism?

Maybe during treatment, but that mechanism wouldn't work months after stopping the treatment.
