HOW AAT WORKS

A HOLISTIC APPROACH FOR THE RELIEF OF SYMPTOMS ASSOCIATED WITH ALLERGIES AND SENSITIVITIES

 

AAT treats the symptoms associated with allergies and sensitivities by reducing the biological stress caused by the offending substance. Gentle pressure is used to stimulate points on the back, which correspond with the major organ systems.

According to traditional acupuncture theory, this stimulation relaxes the body and temporarily strengthens each of the major organ systems. During treatment, a subtle representation of the substance is introduced to the surface of the skin. Acupressure stimulation is then applied to reduce the stress load caused by the substance. The body associates the enhanced state with the substance, allowing for a more appropriate response.

The degree of stress on the organ systems, caused by an allergen, is proportional to the degree of the negative reaction. By easing the stress on the organ system involved, the related symptoms are also reduced, allowing for a positive conditioning effect.

AAT does not diagnose allergies, sensitivities or intolerances.
AAT does not test for allergies or sensitivities. The AAT system assesses what may be causing a stress to the body.
AAT does not cure allergies. The treatment is highly effective in providing long-term relief from symptoms associated with allergies or sensitivities.


How AAT Treatment Affects Spine

 

CONDITIONS TREATED

A sensitivity or inappropriate reaction may cause symptoms from any organ system in the body.  Some systems are prone to reacting to certain families of allergies or substances, such as the respiratory system reacting to pollen.  However, a substance may affect any organ system, which could cause a multitude of symptoms varying from case to case.  For example, a reaction to wheat may cause hives in one person, digestive issues in another, fatigue, wheezing or Acid Reflux all in different patients.  AAT addresses the specific organ systems affected by the allergen or offending substance.

Digestive System

Symptoms include Acid Reflux, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), abdominal and intestinal pain, gas, bloating, diarrhea and vomiting.  Primarily caused by food allergens or other ingestants.

Respiratory System

Symptoms include hay fever, wheezing, asthma, skin conditions, rashes and itchy, watery eyes.  Reactions may be caused by allergies/sensitivities to pollens, dust, food, chemicals and animals (including dog and cat dander and bird feathers), air-borne substances and contactants. 

Dermatological

Symptoms may include eczema, skin rashes, hives, blisters and atopic dermatitis.  The main cause of dermatological reactions is allergies/sensitivities to food but can also be caused by allergies to plants, contactants and chemicals. 

Headaches and Migraines

May be caused by allergies/sensitivities to food such as chocolate and caffeine, airborne irritants such as pollens and chemicals including household cleaners, perfumes and vehicle fumes.

Tiredness and Fatigue

Many reactions result in lethargy and feelings of fatigue.  Tiredness can also occur at certain times of the day, such as in the afternoon after eating.

Multiple Systems

Allergies/sensitivities affect multiple systems in the body, resulting in headaches, irritability, hyperactivity, mood swings, fatigue, tachycardia, or inflammation.  In children such reactions can manifest as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), which is often accompanied with redness around the eyes and nose and repetitive behavior patterns.  

General

Chemicals - household cleaners, perfumes, building materials, washing detergent, pesticides  
Occupational Allergies such as latex or building materials
Animals
Heat, cold and humidity/dampness

Many common conditions may be a result from allergy or sensitivity-related symptoms, for example asthma, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD).  However not all cases involve allergy-related causes.    

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is primarily caused by sensitivities and affects approximately 15% of the population.  Common symptoms include diarrhea, constipation, bloating and abdominal pain. 

Skin allergies/sensitivities are a particularly common allergic reaction and include eczema, dermatitis and hives.

SUBSTANCES TREATED

PLEASE BE ADVISED

AAT cannot guarantee any results.  While AAT can provide relief for many symptoms caused by allergies or sensitivities, some cases do not respond.

AAT does not treat cases of anaphylaxis or life threatening symptoms.  Strict avoidance is always advised.
