Allergies can be treated without traditional medicine
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Alternative therapies like acupressure, acupuncture, reflexology and chiropractic care can be effective treatments for allergies.
Acupressure An ancient Chinese total body treatment, acupressure, is given through clothing on pressure points, to stimulate the flow of energy and improve circulation throughout the body.
It is based on the premise that channels (or meridians) of energy flowing throughout the body may be manipulated by pressure to treat disease or improve health.
Acupuncture Acupuncture offers an effective treatment for hay fever, according to acupuncturist Flora Dowling.
By using very fine needles, acupuncture stimulates the nervous system to release chemicals in the body that influence the body's own internal regulating system, says the Australian Whole Health Home Page.
BioSET A four-step process is used in the allergy elimination technique called Bioenergetic Sensitivity and Enzymatic Therapy (BioSET).
BioSET focuses on specific organ detoxification, bioenergetic testing, enzyme therapy, and allergy elimination techniques.
Chiropractic Care Although chiropractic is not a treatment for allergies, it does, by permitting the nervous system to function with less stress, permit the immune system to function more effectively.
Allergies are simply a hypersensitive immune system responding to normal antigens in the environment.
Chiropractic frees up the nerves so that they are not irritated and hypersensitive to stimuli, according to some chiropractors.
NAET According to Heidi Henkle, a practicing acupuncturist in West Los Angeles, California, Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques (NAET) is a safe and effective technique in detecting and eliminating or desensitizing all types of allergies.
Reflexology Reflexology is a therapy that works on the principle that there are reflexes on the feet and hands that correspond to all organs, glands, and other parts of the body.
By stimulating these reflexes with the thumb and forefingers, proponents of Reflexology believe, the touch and pressure receptors of the nervous system transfer the sensation to the receptive areas of the body.
