Allergies
Naturopathic 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.
