NAET® was developed by Dr. Devi S. Nambudripad in 1983. NAMBUDRIPAD Allergy Elimination Techniques, also known as NAET, are a non-invasive, drug free, natural solution to alleviate allergies of all types and intensities. It is a blend of selective energy balancing, testing and treatment procedures from acupuncture/acupressure, modern science/medicine, chiropractic, nutritional, and kinesiological disciplines of medicine.

From a Western medical point of view, an allergy is an over-reaction by the immune system. But medical scientists are still researching to find the exact cause and nature of allergies. According to NAET®, an allergen is something that disrupts the natural flow of energy in the body. A disruption to the flow of energy leads to symptoms or allergic responses. This disruption is often the root cause of many health conditions. NAET is a process to clear (treat) allergens that cause disruption (allergies). It is very effective, 80% - 90% of the patients treated thus far by NAET® have experienced complete relief from their allergic symptoms to the items for which they have been treated. Most of them report that contact with previously troublesome foods or environmental substances no longer cause adverse effects.

What to Expect?

NAET may be recommended as part of your treatment plan.  Your practitioner will review your health history and utilize muscle testing to determine allergens to be treated. Then, acupressure or acupuncture is used to restore the energy flow while the patient is in the presence of the allergen.

Following the treatment, the allergen must be avoided for 25 hrs. According to Chinese medicine theory, this is the amount of time it takes for your energy to circulate. If the energy can complete its travel without interruption and return to the original starting point, the brain will no longer recognize the allergen as a threat. With restored energy flow, symptoms associated with the allergen will be alleviated.

Allergens are cleared (treated) one at a time. Oftentimes an allergen can be cleared in one treatment. A person with mild to moderate number of allergies may take about 15-20 office visits to desensitize 15-20 food and environmental allergens. The severity or length of time of the imbalance will determine your course of care. 

Following the Treatment

Avoid eating or touching the allergen for 25 hours. Keep your meals light and simple. You should not fast as your body needs nutrients during this time.

Follow the YOU MAY EAT/YOU MAY NOT EAT OR TOUCH instructions

• If a nutrient is listed as having 2% or less of the Percentage Daily Value, you can eat the food item safely during the 25-hour avoidance period.

If you accidentally eat or touch something you shouldn’t have:

• Stop touching the item or spit the food out. Wash your hands or rinse out your mouth with water (distilled water if you are being treated for minerals or salt). If water is not available rub your palms together for several seconds. Continue with the avoidance until the 25 hours have passed. You may still have cleared or partially cleared, don’t get discouraged.

Self-care is important during this time, get plenty of rest, hydrate, and use your favorite coping strategies to deal with stress and heal. Most people feel fine. Others may experience some healing responses: varying energy, fatigue, restlessness, sensations of tingling or temperature changes, body aches, congestion, hyperacidity, bloating, belching, or hiccups.
