What is NAET?

NAET is a revolutionary new technique which utilises acupressure points to remove allergies.

NAET combines Eastern and Western systems of medicine. An allergy is a condition of unusual sensitivity in an individual to one or more substances which may be harmless to the majority of other individuals. For an allergic person, the substance which causes a reaction (the allergen) is viewed by the brain as a threat to the body's well-being. When contact is made with such an allergen, it causes blockages in the energy pathways, or meridians, of the body and disrupts the normal flow of energy through the body. This energy blockage can cause interference in communication through the nervous system between the brain and body. This blocked energy flow is the first link in a chain of events which may lead to an allergic response. NAET practitioners therefore view allergies as the result of energy imbalances in the body, leading to a diminished state of health in one or more organ systems. For many people, their chronic illnesses may be traced back to an energy blockage caused by an allergy. By removing the energy blockages, the inappropriate response to the allergen disappears and the affected organ systems have improved function.

Allergies have been increasing over recent decades, which is hardly surprising when one considers the substantial number of synthetic chemicals to which we are all exposed in our everyday lives. Our bodies were not designed to cope with such chemicals and may develop unhelpful responses which can cover a very wide range of symptoms. Many people have also found through their own experience or through food sensitivity testing, that they have a reaction to certain basic foods. This can lead to a lifetime of avoiding foods in order to avoid a reaction, making food shopping time-consuming and complicated, eating at restaurants a nightmare and dining with friends difficult. Severe allergies can lead to life-threatening anaphylaxis.

NAET is a natural, drug-free, painless, non-invasive method of dealing with sensitivities and allergies, by removing the energy blockages in the meridians. It can safely be used on anyone - infants, pregnant women, even the fragile elderly. Some of my patients positively enjoy their treatments, enjoying the sensation of pressure at various points on and near their spine.

Allergens are treated by NAET one at a time with this technique and best results are obtained if the allergens are cleared in a specific sequence. Normally only one item is treated on a given day. The substance must then be completely avoided for 25 hours following the treatment. In most cases, that's all it takes - one session to permanently eliminate an allergy. Individuals who are highly sensitive may sometimes require additional combination clearings.

NAET was developed as a result of Dr Nambudripad's own experience of multiple allergies, so she has a deep personal understanding of the problems some people face with their illness. She has personal experience of having a severely restricted diet and the impact this has on your life. For anyone who wants to find out more about NAET, the best way is to read Dr Nambudripad's book, 'Say Goodbye to Illness' as this gives an excellent understanding of the treatment and its potential health benefits.

At Peak Health Therapies our NAET practitioner is Jane Stokes, who is also an experienced homeopath. She finds NAET and homeopathy are complementary to each other and has used constitutional homeopathic treatment alongside NAET treatments.

Treatments usually last around 1 hour because there is a 20-minute resting period after the treatment, which is very relaxing in itself.
