Allergy
Also see food sensitivities http://nmfp.com.au/complaints-treated/food-sensitivities/
An allergy occurs when your immune system overreacts to a substance that is harmless to most people. In 2007 The Australasian Society of Clinic Immunology and Allergy reported approximately 4 million Australians had an allergy. These numbers seem to be increasing.
Allergic reactions can cause a variety of symptoms, including:
Hayfever -allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, itching, redness, watery eyes.
Anaphylaxis -potentially life threatening allergy)
Eczema -hives, itchy welts.
Asthma -shortness of breath, wheezing, tightness in the chest, coughing.
Nasal itching, sneezing, postnatal drip, sinus congestion.
Abdominal cramping
Vomiting
Diarrhoea
Common allergens include:
Animal dander
Food – see Food sensitivities
Anthropods
Medicines

Our approach to allergies is to identify the cause and triggers. With this information we provide thorough treatment including immune balancing and desensitisation. The first consult is $107. Unfortunately currently we are unable to claim health insurance for Naturopathic consultations. Call, email or text now, and make a booking to see Mel.
