Seasonal allergies can impact everything from energy level to sinus congestion and for many of us, allergy season is a dreaded annual ritual. An allergy occurs when the immune system reacts to an allergen as if it were a dangerous bacteria or virus. An “allergen” is typically defined as a “usually harmless substance capable of triggering a response that starts in the immune system and results in an allergic reaction.” During an allergic response, the body immediately begins producing “immunoglobulin E” antibodies, or IgE. These specific antibodies release chemicals like histamine that are designed to protect the body from allergens like pollen, mold, and dust.
How does an Integrative approach work in treating Allergic conditions?
An Integrated approach works by restoring this balance and improving the immune response. This may include various modalities which will help in reducing the symptoms. Regular medications such as antihistamines and steroids are only effective at suppressing the symptoms of allergies. A true healing method is to assist the body’s attempt at toxin expulsion and restore balance.

What does the program include?
The program comprises of:

• Identifying the food sensitivities – Often, people do not even realize that they have food sensitivities. Usually, food sensitivities occur to foods that people tend to eat repeatedly such as dairy, wheat and sugar. A complete assessment is done in order to identify.
•  Improving digestion – As digestive disturbances like “leaky gut syndrome” can damage the small intestine causing food particles to leak into the bloodstream, triggering allergic reactions. Proper dietary planning is done to improve the digestive processes.
•  Detoxification – Cleansing of the liver, kidneys, colon, skin, lungs and lymphatic system must take place in people who are unable to cope with the chemical burden/toxicity and go on to develop more serious diseases such as autoimmune disease and cancer. This can be done using natural therapies and fasting therapy.
• Stress management – It is important to assess the effects of stress on the adrenal glands. Worsening of allergy symptoms and new allergies are seen in individuals who are exposed to chronic stress over a long period of time. The important tool here is Yoga and meditation.
•  Desensitization – A method to slowly educate the immune system to not react. Shatkriyas like Jal Neti, Sutra Neti, Kunjal Kriya, etc are widely used as a tool for the purpose of desensitization.
