How to Reduce the effect of Allergies

If you live with an allergic condition such as food allergies, eczema, hay fever, or asthma,and would like a natural treatment, then this is something worth using.

Our specially designed Allergy and Reactivity reduction program is professionally supported and incorporates carefully selected herbs and nutrients combined with tailored diet and lifestyle recommendations.

This will help repair your gut, improve your ability to tolerate allergens, and reduce your reactive symptoms.

Also beneficial if you are not sure if it is an allergy but you get a stomach ache after eating cheese, or bloat and become headachy with certain other foods and so won’t have a bar of say wheat or onions or garlic.

On the other hand, if food isn’t your issue, but pollens and certain grasses leave your skin desperately itchy or a cat sends you into a sneezing frenzy, then this will be good for you too.

Pretty unusual reactions to common substances:

So why does your body react this way?
It is because your body believes that these otherwise harmless substances (animal hair, foods, and grasses) are threatening.

And so, when it comes into contact with these substances, (in this case they are known as allergens,) your immune system releases large amounts of the chemical histamine.

Histamine is like a burly bouncer outside a club: its job is to muscle an allergen out of your body by any means necessary.

Some of the ways histamine does this job is by producing redness and inflammation, a running nose, itchy eyes, constricted airways, bloating, and diarrhoea. All these are signs of allergic disease.

Current approaches to allergy management involve avoiding the allergen and reducing histamine (e.g. antihistamine medication).

But why does your body think these substances are harmful and mount this response against them in the first place?

There are several contributing factors that lead your body’s immune system to respond this way.

They include:

1) Inflammation within your digestive tract (where the majority of your immune system is found).

2) Damage to the lining of your digestive tract commonly known as ‘leaky gut, allows small particles (undigested food, bacteria, and/or toxins) to pass through to the bloodstream causing inflammation in other areas of the body).

3) Low levels of good bacteria and/or an overgrowth of bad bacteria within your intestine that interferes with your body’s immune response.

Address the roots of your reactivity

Truly holistic allergy management encompasses symptomatic relief while also retraining the body’s immune system to tolerate ‘threatening’ allergens.

Using our Allergy and Reactivity Reduction Program while being guided by your Naturopath does just that!

Ingredients that reduce reactivity

A number of herbs and nutrients can help you manage your symptoms of allergy and reactivity; by helping to restore balance to your immune system.

Tailored Diet and Lifestyle Recommendations

Following a prescribed diet in conjunction with specialised supplementation greatly assists in reducing symptoms and building tolerance to allergens.

Your Naturopath will recommend a specific dietary plan depending on your symptom presentation and health history.

While following the Allergy and Reactivity Reduction Program you will ‘rest’ from foods that may be creating inflammation and damage within your gut, giving your immune system an opportunity to ‘reset’ and become more tolerant.

Your Naturopath may also work with you to strategically re-test the foods you have been ‘resting’ from to find the right amount for you in the future.

This means you can remain symptom-free, while still enjoying the foods and activities you love.

Time to Eat and Do what you Love

Now is a time you can address those irritating allergic symptoms by tackling the underlying causes.

Completing this program can help you gain control of your reactivity and increase your tolerance levels, leading to a reduction in symptoms.

Imagine indulging in the foods and activities you enjoy; patting your dog without sneezing, eating the foods you love without bloating, or having a picnic in the grass without itching – now that would be life-changing!
