Allergy Program
The purpose of allergy / intolerance testing is to determine what is irritating your system, so that you know which foods to have a break from. Your Naturopath will advise you when to re- introduce these once your digestive and immune system is stronger, or whether you need to find alternatives long term.
Given that incidences of childhood and adult allergies such as eczema, gastric related food intolerance and asthma are on the rise, we have created this program to help you live a healthier, allergy free life.
Here are the 5 stages to allergy treatment from a naturopathic prospective
1. Identify the allergen – food sensitivity screening (click here for a list of what we can test for).
2. Remove the allergen – find suitable healthy alternatives
3. Mop up the inflammation and control the symptoms – this can be with medicine or natural medicines
4. Repair the linings of the affected area – gut, skin, respiratory tract (natural medicines are effective here)
5. Improve the immune response: natural medicines + dietary improvements
* If you are from out of town and can not attend an appointment in person, you may be eligible for a phone consult, that includes an allergy test. Please contact us for more information.
