I believe acupuncture could help with your food allergies. We may need to use some herbs along with acupuncture. Gradually you should be able to try reintroducing the problem foods.
Yes.
Yes
Yes. I encourage you to book a session with your practitioner of choice to get help with relief.
I've seen no evidence that this works.
Acupuncture is an ancient traditional Chinese medicine. The theory is that there are many different acupuncture points connected by pathways and by inserting solid metallic needles in the skin, improve the flow of Qi (energy) which can restore overall health. Acupuncture is a form of complementary alternative medicine. Please see your primary care doctor to discuss if this is a right option for you so that you can find a license professional to perform this.
Do Chinese herbs. It's better for this condition.
Yes, specifically a practitioner that practices NAET techniques.
Yes, acupuncture can help with food allergies.
There is a system out called NAET that a trained acupuncturist can do for you, but you'll have to search for someone who has the training as it's not part of our normal acupuncture education.

Much will depend on the severity of the allergy. Acupuncture can often help with mild to moderate food allergies. More severe, anaphylactic type, reactions are a lot more difficult to work with.
