Allergy treatment - Naturheilzentrum Huettmann

An allergy refers to an excessive immune response of the human immune system to so-called "allergens."
Allergens are substances that occur quite commonly and are usually harmless - but an allergy triggers an immune over-reaction of the human system in form of a hypersensitive reaction.

The immune system then forms, according to the key - lock principle, antibodies against these allergens - in the blood so-called "IGE antibodies" can be detected as an indication of the response of the immune system.
In most cases, an allergic person notices immediately an allergic reaction, but there are also types of allergies where the symptoms occur after hours or days, so that the allergy is often diagnosed only after a long time.
In an allergic response, inflammatory processes are triggered in the body, which then trigger the typically known symptoms such as hay fever, watery eyes, asthma, itching, redness or rash, etc.

Today allergies are occurring with increasing frequency: a Robert Koch study showed that some 40% of all children demonstrate sensibilisation to at least one allergen.
The main substances responsible for allergies are:

pollen
animal hair
dust mites and
foodstuffs

The widespread eczema is also very often closely linked with an allergic disposition: so about 90% of all children with eczema are also allergy sufferers.

The treatment of allergies

In allergy treatment a distinction is made between short-term symptomatic treatment and long-term causal treatment.
If the symptoms are to be suppressed in the short term, so-called antihistamines and cortisone are administered in the majority of cases.
However, this is only useful for severe allergic symptoms and patients who suffer severely because, although such a therapy suppresses the symptoms, it does not combat the causes of the illness. In addition, the drugs used often have severe side effects.  

If an allergy is to be treated in the long term, and if the cause is to be treated, according to the type of allergy, we are using various therapy methods in our practice:

-Acupunkture
-Bioresonance therapy
-Self-blood therapy
