Allergy Clinic

Allergies affect more and more people in the developed world. This is due to the use of antibiotics, the abundance of processed foods and lack of biodiversity in the surrounding environment. Signs of allergies can manifest from a young age or later in life and allergies can be mild or severe in response to foods, pollen’s, dust or food components. Signs and symptoms vary from sneezing, itchy skin, high eosinophils in the blood & digestive disturbances. Many of these symptoms are uncomfortable and annoying but can also become life threatening if the allergy is severe enough to produce an anaphylactic reaction. More commonly they can simply affect our quality of life especially if antihistamines cannot do the job alone. Herbal medicines and nutraceuticals are very effective at treating not only the symptoms but also addressing the underlying causes of allergic reactions. Once you start exploring natural remedies for allergies you will find they become part of your treatment arsenal. We can help you start to treat the underlying mechanisms that research has shown contribute to allergies.  By working with us in clinic we can help determine what those factors are for you.

Our Allergy Clinic also utilises testing to help identify your triggers as well as look at your particular signs & symptoms which may include stress, digestive health or microbiome dysbiosis. By utilising testing we can discover the things you might be reacting to and slowly eliminate the majority of those. We then address the underlying factors with diet and specific treatments. As we see you in follow ups, we see what works for you and we are able to paint you a picture of how to look after your atopic reactions.

If  we don’t remove potential allergens from our diet and environment then this can burden the immune system. Our energy starts to slowly dip and we find that we start reacting to more and more things leading to chronic inflammation and reliance on medications. This also means that our body is using valuable energy defending ourselves. Left untreated allergies can manifest into Asthma or Eczema and become chronic. Stress can tip that balance and aggravate our symptoms. What started off as a genetic tendency to atopic reactions {nature} plus an altered microbiome {nurture} ends up destroying the friendly interplay of our immune system.

Discover how to nurture your hypersensitive immune reactions by booking in for the Allergy Clinic:

• 1 hour and 15 minute initial appointment ~ We go over your symptoms and talk about any testing you may need to embark on your journey. We start with herbs and supplements that can help alleviate your symptoms and we assess your underlying factors.
• 45 minute follow up ~ You then go away and start the treatments and come back when the test results have arrived. We then start you on an elimination process to see if this provides you with a deeper kind of relief. We also address the underlying factors be it stress, digestion or  immunity.
• 30 minute follow up ~ Further changes to your diet and lifestyle take longer to implement and if things are going well a maintenance plan can be made. For others, time and patience may require that you work on it for the long term.

Follow up appointments can be made in order to further track your progress. All appointments involve a referral to a medical practitioner if necessary.
