Many Options Are Available to Treat Allergies
Allergies are rarely cured, but there are many medications, supplements and treatment options that are available to help relieve allergy symptoms.
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. The Healthy Instinct page claims that blockage of some kind is generally the catalyst for disease.
Acupressure requires no needles relying instead on the thumbs, palms, heels of the hands and elbows, to apply held pressure on vital points on the body.

What Allergy Treatment Options are available?
Acupuncture:
Acupuncture offers an effective treatment for hay fever, according to acupuncturist Flora Dowling.
It can achieve fairly fast and lasting results. Nasal congestion, discharge, and itching are usually relieved with acupuncture treatment.
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. The improved energy and biochemical balance produced by acupuncture results in stimulating the body's natural healing abilities. It can help to strengthen the body's resistance and can regulate the body's antigen-antibody's reactions. This is important in helping to relieve hay fever and other allergic reactions such as asthma.
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. The nervous system seems to be the controlling factor for the immune system. 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. NAET combines Kinesiology (Muscle Responsive Testing), Chiropractic and Oriental Medicine to clear allergic reactions through a reprogramming of the brain.
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. This can activate the body's own natural healing system by improving the nerve and blood supply and helping nature to normalize the various functions of the body.
The stimulus of pressure is usually applied to the adrenal reflex area to create a healthful response by the body to allergies, asthma, and sinus problems.
On the hand, the adrenal reflex area is found on the palms of both hands, halfway down the long first metacarpal bone of the hand below the thumb. To find the area, put your right thumb on top of your left thumb. Reposition the right hand moving the right thumb down, toward the wrist.
Your hand is now positioned so that your right index finger can curl around the hand and exert pressure at the midpoint of the long bone. Rest your finger tip on the on the palm of the hand and press. If the area feels sensitive you have found the spot.
