When your body reacts to substances that should be harmless, life becomes a series of uncomfortable encounters with food, pollen, pet dander, and countless other everyday triggers. NAET offers a different approach to allergy relief that works with your body’s natural energy pathways rather than simply masking symptoms with medication.
At Club K Holistic Dental, Dr. Joshua Knapton provides NAET treatments as part of our commitment to addressing the root causes of health issues, not just symptoms. This holistic technique can help you find lasting relief from allergies of all types, improving both your overall health and oral wellness.
What Is NAET?
NAET stands for Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques, a holistic treatment method that combines principles from acupuncture, chiropractic care, kinesiology, and nutrition to reprogram how your body responds to allergens. The technique works on the principle that allergies result from energy blockages in your body. NAET aims to clear these blockages and restore proper energy flow, allowing your body to recognize substances as harmless rather than threats.
Unlike conventional allergy treatments that rely on medication or avoidance, NAET addresses allergies at their source. The process is non-invasive and drug-free, making it an attractive option for people seeking natural alternatives to traditional allergy management.
How NAET Works
NAET treatment begins with muscle response testing to identify which substances trigger your body’s allergic reactions. Once allergies are identified, treatment involves a combination of acupressure and energy balancing techniques. You hold the allergen vial while the practitioner stimulates specific acupressure points along your spine. This process typically takes 15-20 minutes and helps reprogram your nervous system’s response to the allergen.
After treatment, you avoid the treated allergen for 25 hours to allow your body to integrate the new energy pattern. Treatment typically begins with the “basics” like egg, calcium, vitamin C, and B vitamins before moving on to specific allergens like foods, environmental triggers, or chemicals.
Common Allergies Treated With NAET
NAET can address virtually any type of allergy or sensitivity. Food allergies are among the most commonly treated, including dairy, gluten, eggs, nuts, shellfish, and soy. Environmental allergies like pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mold, and chemical sensitivities also respond well to treatment.
NAET may also help with less obvious sensitivities, including reactions to fabrics, metals, personal care products, and even emotional stressors.
NAET and Oral Health Connection
The relationship between allergies and oral health is stronger than many people realize. Food allergies and sensitivities can contribute to inflammation throughout your body, including in your mouth. Research shows that chronic periodontitis affects nearly half of American adults over 30, and inflammatory responses from allergies can worsen this condition.
Allergies to dental materials can also cause significant problems. Some people react to metals in fillings or crowns, while others may be sensitive to ingredients in toothpaste or mouthwash. NAET can help identify and treat these sensitivities, making dental care more comfortable.
When you address underlying allergies, you may notice improvements in your oral health. Reduced inflammation means healthier gums and less risk of periodontal disease. Our preventive dentistry services work hand-in-hand with allergy elimination to support your overall wellness.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your first NAET appointment will include a thorough health history and initial testing. The actual treatment is gentle and painless, with most patients finding it relaxing. Many people notice improvements after just a few sessions, though complete allergy elimination typically requires treating multiple substances over several months. Like our ozone therapy treatments, NAET represents a natural approach that supports your body’s innate healing abilities.
