Health Solutions    Treat Allergies
Naturopathy can help your Allergies
Symptoms of allergies are caused by a reaction of your immune system to a foreign substance. This foreign substance may be a pollen or dust particle you have inhaled; a food that you have eaten or drunk; a natural or man made chemical in your surrounding environment; or an ingredient in your skin care or cleaning products.

The area where the substance comes into contact with your body is often where you will get symptoms of the allergic reaction such as a rash on your hands or a swollen mouth from touching or eating something. However you can also experience symptoms of allergy in different parts of your body. Such as eczema which can occur anywhere on the body and is often triggered by allergic reactions to food.

Gerard uses natural medicines that treat the cause of allergies by changing your immune response to foreign substances while also relieving the ongoing symptoms of allergies.

Allergies are tested for using a skin scratch or blood sample test. No other testing methods accurately test for the presence of allergies.
The symptoms of allergy include:
  • Hayfever, itching, running nose, ears and eyes
  • Swelling and redness of mouth, nose and eyes after eating
  • Raised red skin rash known as hives
  • Asthma is closely linked to allergy and many people with asthma will also have an allergy to a food or chemical in the environmental
Allergy vs Intolerance
Many people mistakenly believe that they may have an allergy to certain foods. Allergy to foods is uncommon in adults, however many adults do experience reactions caused by certain chemicals or substances in foods. These reactions are called intolerances and are not mediated by the immune system.

Food intolerances can cause the following symptoms:
  • Skin rash or red sore skin patches around the mouth, nose and eyes
  • Digestive problems such as bloating, diarrhoea, constipation and cramping
  • Behavioural changes such as hyperactivity, mania and depression
  • Itchy skin
  • Fatigue and sleepiness
  • Migraines and headaches
Gerard can help you identify what foods or chemicals you are intolerant to and eliminate these chemicals from your diet. Specific nutritional supplements are also used to help you metabolise these chemicals better and therefore reduce your severity and frequency of reactions.
