Doctors
Use New Acupressure Technique For Severe Allergic Reactions: Medication Unnecessary
San
Francisco, CA (PRWEB) -- A new drug-free treatment for allergies is successful
because it negates emotions and anxiety.
According
to a Harvard Medical School study, stress and negative emotional responses are
associated with allergic reactions like hay fever, asthma and eczema. But conventional
allergy treatments typically involve antihistamines rather than addressing unresolved
emotional issues. As a result, medications only offer temporary relief from symptoms.
In
contrast, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) delivers a distinctive, drug-free
approach to treating allergies. This gentle, do-it-yourself form of acupressure
neutralizes negative, disruptive feelings, emotions and stress and balances the
energy meridians (chi). When balance is achieved in the meridians, physical symptoms
of allergies dissipate.
According
to the National Institutes of Health, more than half of all Americans have
some kind of allergy. Inhaled allergens like molds, pollens, dust mites are among
the most common and sufferers tend to rely on antihistamines to alleviate symptoms.
Allergies to insect stings, nuts and latex can be life threatening with an estimated
40 million people being at risk for anaphylactic allergic reactions. Typically,
allergy sufferers are advised to know what things they are allergic to
and to avoid those things.
According
to Gary Craig, the Stanford-trained engineer who developed EFT:
Research,
like the Harvard Medical School study, is showing a distinct association between
unresolved negative emotions and illness. EFT is one of the only techniques available
that addresses illness at this fundamental emotional level. It is easy to learn
and anybody can apply EFT to themselves, either to prevent allergies, or to treat
an allergy attack.
EFT
is a modern version of acupuncture that has been used for 5000 years to treat
emotional and physical ailments. It combines gentle fingertip tapping on key acupuncture
points while focusing on physical or emotional issues. Says Craig, It consistently
provides relief to allergy sufferers where allergy shots, sprays, and antihistamines
have failed. EFT not only relieves immediate allergy symptoms but in most cases,
the allergies are neutralized permanently.
Dr.
Anne Curtis attended to a patient in the middle of the night. She was covered
from head to foot in a very red, very itchy allergic rash caused by antibiotics,
says Dr. Curtis. She was also very anxious because the last time she had
an allergy to antibiotics she went on to experience breathing difficulties and
to become very swollen. There were reasons why both of us wanted to avoid giving
her drugs if at all possible. Instead she used EFT for her patients
reaction and for the anxiety associated with it.
Instantly
the itchy, prickling eyes and skin were relieved and the rash began to disperse.
In total, they did EFT for about ten minutes. Says Dr. Curtis, she now felt
comfortable to go back to bed and when I saw her in the morning she had no rash
left at all.
We
are not advocating the use of EFT instead of avoiding allergens or seeking medical
attention, says Craig. But most people with allergies are likely to
come in contact with foods, chemicals, drugs, or molds that trigger a reaction
when medical treatment is unavailable. We have received many reports where EFT
was used to halt anaphylactic reactions while waiting for emergency medical assistance.
Others report that they have eliminated life long allergies to dust, animals and
foods they simply no longer react when exposed to these allergens.
EFT
was designed to put this universal healing tool into the hands of as many people
as possible, explains Craig. To this end, I am offering the EFT Manual
as a free download from the EFT website.
Over
300,000 have downloaded Craigs free training manual and another 10,000 download
it each month. The official EFT Manual has been translated by volunteer practitioners
into nine languages.
