Allergies can cause a lot of distress. Symptoms can include runny noses from hay fever, itchy red eyes, itchy or scratchy throat or palate, and post-nasal drip. Asthma and atopic dermatitis can also be due to an allergy. You can be allergic to one substance, or a multitude of substances (referred to as allergens), including trees, grasses, flowers, molds, cat dander, pollens, dust mites, and other insects.
 

        We use proven diagnostic tests and treatments for your allergies. First, we do a blood test to determine what it is you’re allergic to. Then, we use a combination of herbal medicine, and acupuncture,  to resolve your symptoms and get you feeling better. 
Rather than just treating symptoms with an over-the-counter antihistamine, our treatments are designed to get at the root of the problem – an overactive immune system. We work to create what’s called ‘immune tolerance. In the allergic individual, the immune system inappropriately marks the allergen as dangerous and mounts an immune response, resulting in all the symptoms you associate with the allergy. However, in non-allergic individuals, their immune system doesn’t recognize it as dangerous, because their immune cells have developed immune tolerance.

 

     Our treatments work both to decrease symptoms from the outset, as well as to create immune tolerance over time so that the immune response is significantly decreased, or eliminated.
 

     We found some evidence to suggest that rising pollen count may trigger flares of urological chronic pelvic pain syndrome. Acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) is also frequently the result of an allergic reaction. Most cases of AIN are from bad reactions to drugs. 
 

     Whether you have an allergy as a root cause of a chronic urology condition or you have it as an independent diagnosis; we can help you by offering you a wide variety of complementary medicine.
