NAET

NAET is a combination of acupuncture techniques designed to eliminate your allergies. Created by Dr. Devi Nambudripad in the early 1980s, NAET works with your internal organs, your spinal nerves, and your brain to re-set your body’s relationship with any allergen. Jeannie Elmstrom is the NAET practitioner at  Balance Westside Wellness.

Phase One

In the first phase of NAET, we treat “The Basics,” proteins, vitamins, minerals, and internal substances to enhance digestion and basic metabolic and neural functioning. In doing so, we effectively normalize your immune system. The typical Phase One lasts approximately 10-15 treatments, although every individual is different and Phase One varies.

Phase Two

Phase Two consists of treatments for the specific allergens contributing to your chief complaint. Length of treatment varies from person to person. By the end of Phase Two, each patient experiences greater health and dramatic reduction of allergic symptoms.

Phase Three

Phase Three is the maintenance phase of NAET. Treatments are given on an as-needed basis, and consist of treatments for occasional allergies as they appear. For most patients in Phase Three, treatments are approximately every three months.

Description of Treatment

The NAET treatment consists of four parts. In the first part, the patient lies quietly and holds a vial containing the allergen to be treated. The practitioner performs a vigorous but gentle massage of the spinal nerves while the patient performs specific breathing exercises. Next, the practitioner uses acupuncture or acupressure to close the treatment. The patient lies quietly for the following 20 minutes, maintaining skin contact with the allergen. For the subsequent 24 hours, the patient avoids contact with the allergen being treated. Follow-up treatments commence with checking the previous allergen to ensure that the patient has indeed changed their relationship with that allergen.
