Allergies

AllergiesNaturopathic treatment of allergies involves:

  • Lab testing to identify possible allergens (food or environmental)
  • Most often, medical doctors and allergy specialists only test for IgE food allergies, where-as naturopathic doctors tend to test for both food allergies and IgG foodsensitivities.   By eliminating food allergies & sensitivities, it decreases the body’s overall allergic response, and makes seasonal allergies more tolerable.
  • Homeopathy
  • Prescribed on an individual basis, homeopathic remedies can be very helpful in alleviating allergy symptoms naturally, and may provide permanent & long lasting effects.
  • Herbal Medicine & Natural Supplements
  • Certain natural extracts are prescribed to effectively stabilize mast cells, preventing the release of histamine which is responsible for the allergic response.
