NAET, or Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques, is an alergy treatment method developed by Dr. Devi Nambudripad in the 1980s. It’s designed to address allergies and sensitivities to various substances, including foods, chemicals, pets, and environmental factors.
Here's a brief overview of how NAET works:
- Diagnosis: NAET practitioners start with muscle testing or applied kinesiology to identify substances that might be causing allergic reactions or sensitivities.
- Treatment: The core of NAET involves a combination of techniques. The patient is exposed to a small amount of the allergen while the practitioner performs specific acupuncture points and pressure techniques. This process is used to desensitize the body to the allergen.
- Follow-Up: Patients may be instructed to avoid the allergen for a certain period after treatment and to return for follow-up sessions to address other allergens or reinforce the treatment.
Benefits
- Holistic Approach: NAET combines elements of acupuncture, chiropractic, and muscle testing, which appeals to individuals seeking alternative or complementary treatments.
- Personalized Treatment: The method is tailored to address specific allergies or sensitivities identified through muscle testing, aiming to target individual needs.
- Non-Invasive: The treatment generally involves non-invasive techniques, which some patients find preferable compared to more traditional medical approaches.
- No Medication: For those who prefer to avoid medication or conventional allergy treatments, NAET offers a different approach that doesn't involve pharmaceuticals.
