NAET Allergy Technique in St. Louis
Many patients come to Whole Health & Wellness looking for a natural approach to allergies and sensitivities after continuing to struggle with seasonal allergies, food sensitivities, eczema, sinus congestion, recurring sinus infections, digestive reactions, or other sensitivity-related symptoms despite medication or avoidance strategies.
NAET (Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique) is a gentle, non-invasive approach that uses muscle testing, acupressure, and other techniques as part of an individualized approach to allergy and sensitivity-related symptoms. Rather than focusing only on avoiding potential triggers, NAET is used to support the body's response to substances that may be associated with sensitivity-related symptoms.
Many patients choose NAET because they are looking for an approach that can be incorporated into a broader plan addressing allergies, sensitivities, digestive health, and other factors that may be contributing to their symptoms.
Common Reasons Patients Choose NAET
Seasonal allergies
Environmental allergies
Chemical sensitivities
Eczema and skin rashes
Digestive reactions
Sinus congestion and recurring sinus infections
Patients often choose this approach when they are looking to support these symptoms in a more comprehensive and non-invasive way.
How NAET Works
NAET uses a combination of gentle techniques, including manual muscle testing and acupressure, as part of an individualized approach to allergy and sensitivity-related symptoms.
During NAET sessions, specific acupuncture points known for their whole-body balancing properties are stimulated without the use of needles. This process is designed to support how the nervous and immune systems relate to certain substances, allowing the body to react more normally over time.
This approach focuses on supporting the body’s regulation systems rather than simply avoiding triggers.
This video provides an overview of how NAET works and what to expect.
Factors That May Influence Allergy & Sensitivity Patterns
Reactions to foods and environmental substances are often not just about the substances themselves, but about how the body is responding internally. These patterns may be influenced by:
Imbalances in how the immune system responds to certain exposures
Nervous system patterns that affect sensitivity and reactivity
Underlying gut health and microbiome balance
Because of this, two individuals may be exposed to the same substance, but only one experiences symptoms.
How NAET Fits Into Your Personalized Care Plan
While NAET can be used on its own, we often incorporate it alongside functional laboratory evaluation, nutrition, chiropractic care, acupuncture, and other holistic therapies. By considering digestive health, immune regulation, nervous system function, and other contributing factors together, we’re able to create a more personalized approach for each patient.
What to Expect During a NAET Session
Appointments may include manual muscle testing, gentle acupressure stimulation techniques, and supportive other therapies depending on your needs.
