At NOLA Family Acupuncture, our mission is to empower your journey toward optimal health through natural, effective, and personalized care. Among the many tools we use to support your well-being, NAET (Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques) is one of the most transformative. Whether you’re struggling with food sensitivities, seasonal allergies, or unexplained symptoms, NAET offers a unique pathway to relief. Let’s explore how this innovative approach works and how it can help you.

What is NAET?

NAET is a holistic technique designed to identify and eliminate allergies and sensitivities by addressing their root causes. Developed by Dr. Devi Nambudripad, this method integrates principles of acupuncture, kinesiology, and energy medicine to reprogram the body’s response to allergens. Unlike conventional allergy treatments that focus on symptom management, NAET aims to eliminate the allergic response entirely, offering long-term relief.

How Does NAET Work?

NAET is a step-by-step process that starts with identifying your allergens and culminates in retraining your body to no longer react negatively to them. Here’s how it works-

1. Allergy Testing Using muscle response testing (a technique from kinesiology), we identify substances that your body perceives as allergens. This non-invasive approach detects energy imbalances caused by allergens, even when traditional allergy tests might not.
2. Desensitization Treatment Once allergens are identified, we use acupressure or acupuncture to stimulate specific points on the body. This stimulation helps to reset the body’s energy pathways and eliminates the negative response to the allergen. This step is performed while the patient is exposed to the allergen in a controlled manner.
3. Avoidance Period After each treatment, a 25-hour avoidance period is recommended for the treated allergen. This ensures the body fully integrates the changes and reinforces the desensitization process.
4. Follow-Up Depending on the severity and number of allergies, additional sessions may be needed to address all sensitivities comprehensively. Each session builds on the previous one, creating cumulative improvements in overall health.

What Conditions Can NAET Address?

NAET isn’t just for seasonal allergies. It’s a versatile approach that has helped people with-

• Food Sensitivities – Dairy, gluten, nuts, and more.
• Environmental Allergies – Pollen, dust, pet dander, and mold.
• Chemical Sensitivities – Reactions to perfumes, cleaning products, and other synthetic substances.
• Chronic Symptoms – Digestive issues, skin conditions, headaches, and fatigue that may stem from hidden sensitivities.
• Autoimmune Disorders – By addressing underlying triggers, NAET can support the management of autoimmune conditions.

Why Choose NAET?

• Holistic Approach – NAET treats the root cause of allergies rather than masking symptoms.
• Non-Invasive – With no medications or invasive procedures, it’s safe for individuals of all ages.
• Personalized Care – Every treatment plan is tailored to your unique sensitivities and health needs.
