Is Allergy Season Inevitable? Exploring Natural Relief at Vitality

As the snow starts to fade and we see GREEN again, we know that Spring is right around the corner. Most of us can’t wait and for some of us it means allergy season. The Lehigh Valley is known for being one of the worst places for sensitivities. Spring allergies are most commonly triggered by airborne pollen released from trees, grasses, and weeds. When these microscopic particles enter the body, the immune system may mistakenly identify them as harmful invaders.

This can lead to an inflammatory response that hay fever produces symptoms such as:

• Sneezing and runny nose

• Nasal congestion

• Watery or itchy eyes

• Scratchy throat

• Fatigue or headaches

• Skin irritation

It doesn’t have to be this way, and you actually do not have to rely on Benadryl or Claritin forever. Here at Vitality, we have an all-natural way to help you through allergy season called NAET (Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique). NAET is a non-invasive, drug-free approach that blends principles from acupuncture, chiropractic, kinesiology and energy medicine. The foundational concept of NAET is that allergic reactions may reflect energetic imbalances between the body and specific substances. By helping the nervous system “re-learn” a neutral response to these substances, NAET aims to reduce sensitivity over time.

A typical NAET session involves several steps:

1. Assessment

Practitioners use muscle response testing to identify substances that may be contributing to sensitivity. Think of your body like an electrical circuit. If you are sensitive to something your body will go weak, and if you are not then your body will stay strong.

2. Treatment

While the individual is exposed to the energetic signature of the allergen, gentle stimulation along acupuncture meridians (often through acupressure or chiropractic techniques) is performed.

3. Integration Period

After treatment, a brief avoidance period allows the nervous system to integrate the new response pattern.

This process is repeated across a series of visits, addressing both environmental allergens (such as pollen) and foundational sensitivities that may influence immune regulation.

As with any complementary therapy, responses vary, and NAET is best viewed as part of a holistic wellness strategy. Spring allergies are not only about pollen exposure, but they also reflect how well the body can adapt to environmental stressors. Supporting gut health, nervous system regulation, hydration, and nutrient status can all play important roles in seasonal resilience. Combining lifestyle strategies with therapies like NAET can offer a comprehensive approach that supports both symptom relief and long-term adaptability.
