Keys To Allergy Elimination

If you suffer from allergies such as hay fever, no doubt you would like a way to achieve complete allergy elimination. This is especially true during hay fever season, when everything from dandelions to ragweed to high pollen levels can make you sneeze and sniffle, have red, itchy and watery eyes, and just in general be miserable.

If your allergies have been severe enough, you've probably tried antihistamines, as well as other drugs and perhaps even gotten allergy shots. In very severe cases, maybe you've even used steroids. Using allergy shots to desensitize you can work as well, but it might take years to actually see results and have your allergy symptoms lessen or disappear.

There are many allergy supplements that can help, including natural cures such as homeopathy and herbal remedies. Other methods such as acupuncture also work to provide at least temporary relief from allergies for many people. However, what if there was a way to have complete allergy elimination without allergy shots, without taking medications, and without having to go through just plain being miserable during allergy season? There is actually a way to do this, using what are called "energy medicine" techniques.

One of the most widely practiced of these natural methods is called NAET, or Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique. Dr. Nambudripad is an acupuncturist and chiropractor that lives in California. He accidentally discovered that if he stimulated specific acupressure medians while he exposed patients to allergens, he could in effect render patients allergy-free.

Dr. Nambudripad first developed his technique in the 1980s, and other similar techniques have since been developed that are more streamlined. However, Dr. Nambudripad's technique is still the most popular. In fact, one of the more streamlined versions of NAET, called Allergy and Sensitivity Elimination and Reprogramming Technique or ASERT, is very effective even for those who chronically suffer from allergies.

Best of all, with these techniques, results occur very quickly and work even for those who are skeptical. With seasonal allergies such as hay fever, symptoms can be severe for weeks or even months at a time. This means that for most allergy sufferers, they need relief now, not at some point in the future. Energy-based allergy elimination techniques work very quickly, within a day or two. Another benefit is that there are no side effects.

Some practitioners who use these methods say their effects are permanent. Although this may be true in some cases, allergies can redevelop, especially after someone has been ill or has had some kind of trauma. In these cases, the techniques may need to be redone to reestablish allergy elimination.

Regardless of skepticism, this type of allergy relief is very real and truly works. It's fast, effective and natural, without the expense or side effects of drug use. In addition, it does not take more than a day or two for allergy relief to occur, unlike some other methods such as homeopathy. It can also work not just for pollen or other airborne allergies, but for foods and skin contact allergies as well.
