Allergies

Homeopathy considers allergies as a sign of a defective immune system and as the body’s appeal for help. According to the homeopathic believe the allergen is just the trigger to the problem and not the underlying cause itself. Our homeopath Martin Mailaender assesses your body constitution on a physical, emotional and mental level in order to remove and eliminate the underlying cause completely.

Appropriately selected homeopathic remedies will support this process in strengthening your immune system and in stimulating your body’s ability to heal itself.

Functional medicine is about getting to the root cause of a disease or dysfunction, by identifying the triggers, imbalances, pathogenic influences and toxicities. It combines the consultative expertise together with the appropriate diagnostic procedures, like laboratory tests, to help the patient regain balance, wellness and vitality. Diet, detoxication and supplementation are the key tools to correct any imbalance.

The treatment with our functional medicine practitioner and holistic nutritionist Miles Price is built up in three evaluation steps:
1. Conducting a thorough health, family history, lifestyle and diet evaluation
2. Evaluating blood tests and laboratory results
3. Prescribing specific dietary modifications, with supplemental detoxification support if needed

The benefits of this holistic approach combined with clinical support result in more energy, vitality, and elimination of symptoms.

A German study published in 2013 proved evidence of the efficacy and benefits of Acupuncture in treating seasonal allergy symptoms. The lead author Benno Brinkhaus, who was quoted in a Time magazine report on the study, highly recommends a trial of acupuncture for patients who are not satisfied with conventional medication or treatment or if their medication leads to unacceptable side effects.

TCM practitioners believe that allergy patients are prone to recurring allergic reactions because they suffer from an underlying weakness, often a deficiency of lung and spleen Qi. On the one hand, Lung Qi accounts for the proper function of the entire respiratory system including the nasal air passages. On the other hand, spleen Qi is responsible for the smooth transport of body fluids. When the Qi is out of balance it leads to annoying allergic symptoms.

The stimulation of acupuncture points around the nose usually relieve sneezing and nasal congestion immediately. In combination with herbal medicine that strengthen the lung and spleen function you achieve physical and emotional well-being.

Neuro Energetic Kinesiology is a recognized, comprehensive, non-invasive system of healthcare that uses calming and muscle monitoring techniques to unlock and access the body’s information on stress and symptoms in order to identify and release the stresses that can cause diseases like allergies.

Kinesiology may be used to identify specific allergens to which you respond sensitive. When you are exposed to an allergen, the theory supposes that muscles indicate the allergy by becoming weak. The muscle testing is used as kind of a natural biofeedback system that detects the information your body wants to share. After the identification of certain allergens our kinesiologist works to correct the energetic imbalance.

The Yuen Method has its roots in ancient Chinese Shaolin temples and outshines by its simplicity as it can be applied anywhere and anytime without the necessity to physically touch the patient. More than half of our patients have never been physically present as a Skype or Facetime call is absolutely sufficient. It is an energetic principle that looks at the human experience in its core components of body, mind and spirit. It believes that you are either ”strong or weak” to any given subject matter, person or situation. The aim of the Yuen Method is to find this weakness, strengthen it and finally delete it.

Our practitioner Victor Geronimo works to make sure that all levels of consciousness are harmonious. It works to remove energy blockages and help you to overcome any given problem - even your long lasting asthma.

Using Body Talk, we desensitize the body without elimination diets or reactions. Your body can learn to integrate these substances rather than having to fight against them. It is unique to the BodyTalk System that you can learn to live with a reactive substance, integrating it into your lifestyle, rather than avoiding it. Unlike some other allergy treatment programs, BodyTalk involves a short series of sessions and follow up. Your body will become desensitized to the substance while restoring your immune response and overall health.

Our practitioner Angie Tourani is Hong Kong’s only Advanced Certified BodyTalk Practitioner and Instructor. She specializes in working with emotional issues, anxiety, depression, insomnia, immune system weaknesses, and sensory integration disorder with both adults and children.
