Natural Relief For Oak Pollen Allergies

Anyone who lives in an area with a high number of oak trees
is all too familiar with the huge amounts of pollen that
these trees produce and the oak pollen allergy symptoms
that result.  Looking almost like fuzzy little worms, the
pollen pods release the oak pollen into the air to be
carried by the wind, and the pods drop to the ground to
pile up and make a mess on the ground.

During the oak pollen season, the effects of the pollen are
everywhere, with cars and windows covered with the
orange-brown film the pollen creates.  Even pavement where
the spent pollen pods accumulate will get stained brown.
For those allergic to oak pollen, the symptoms can be
severe.  Massive sinus drainage, watery eyes, sneezing,
and/or coughing will develop that can defy almost any
allergy treatment available, at least until the oak pollen
subsides.

Oak allergies drive people to try any number of remedies,
with some even turning to drastic measures like steroid
injections.  Some will decide to handle the situation once
and for all by starting allergy shots, even though the
needles are less than pleasant, without realizing that it
often takes years to finally get results.

Many oak allergy sufferers will seek out natural relief
from treatments like nutritional supplements, herbal
remedies, homeopathy and/or acupuncture, and all of these
forms of treatment will provide some degree of temporary
relief for the majority of people.  But what if there was a
way to do more than just suppress allergy symptoms?

What if there was a way to actually get rid of oak
allergies and other allergies long-term as with doing
allergy shots, but in a way that gets results in days, not
years, and doesn't require one to get jabbed with needles?
Well, there actually is a way to do this, using "energy
medicine" techniques.

The most widely-practiced of these natural allergy relief
methods is NAET, which stands for Nambudripad's Allergy
Elimination Technique.  Dr. Devi Nambudripad is a
chiropractor and acupuncturist from California who
accidentally discovered how stimulating specific
acupuncture meridians while being exposed to the allergens
one reacts to can reset the body so that it no longer
reacts to those allergens.

Since the development of NAET in the 1980's, other similar
techniques have been developed, and there are more
streamlined allergy elimination methods now in use, but
NAET remains the most widely practiced.  To be sure, all of
the energy based allergy elimination methods are a bit
strange, and may seem a bit too good to be true, but in 8
years of practicing ASERT (Allergy and Sensitivity
Elimination and Reprogramming Technique, one of the newer,
more streamlined techniques based on the principles of
NAET), I have seen great success with even the most chronic
of allergy sufferers.

Because these techniques are so strange and because I
practice in San Antonio, an area where a high percentage of
the population is still extremely skeptical of alternative
medicine, I do the allergy desensitization on people and
let them experience the results before they pay me.  I
actually work on the "honor system" - I don't collect any
money or payment information at all and let people try out
the allergy elimination technique and then they pay me when
they are satisfied that it worked for them.  The vast
majority send me checks or call me with a credit card
number, which I thik is a dramatic testament to the
effectiveness of this technique.

The great part about these techniques is that the results
occur quickly.  For seasonal problems like oak allergies,
people may have severe symptoms for a month or two, and are
looking for some type of natural allergy relief right away,
not something that will take years to be effective like
allergy shots, and not something that can have serious
side-effects like steroids.  With energy-based allergy
elimination, relief usually occurs within a day and comes
without the risk of any serious side-effects.

Better yet, the effects of energy-based allergy elimination
last for several months to several years because these
techniques actually get rid of the allergies, not just
suppress allergy symptoms and inflammation.  So, oak
allergy sufferers can usually go through multiple oak
seasons without any problems without ongoing treatment
after going through the allergy desensitization.

Although NAET practitioners often claim that the effects of
NAET are permanent, which they may be in some cases, it has
been my experience that allergies can re-develop,
particularly after somone is sick with a cold or flu, or
suffers a major trauma during a high pollen season.  It
appears that the body may develop allergies in a "guilt by
association" manner in which an activation of the body's
immune system and inflammatory response from something
other than pollen may become associated with the presence
of a given allergen, thus triggering a reaction to the
allergen.  In other words, if you catch the flu during a
time when oak pollen is high, it is not unusual to develop
oak allergies.

In any case, energy-based allergy desensitization is very
much for real, and it offers fast, effective natural
allergy relief for oak pollen allergies, as well as any
other type of allergy (including airborne allergens, foods,
and skin-contact allergies).
