Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques (NAET©)
NAET© is considered an alternative technique that incorporates several elements, including acupuncture, applied kinesiology, and nutrition. Allergens are tested by using NST (Neuromuscular Sensitivity Testing) which is believed to indicate kinetic disharmony in the body caused by allergens. IgE or IgG Food Allergy test to provide an indication of food allergies or intolerances is required prior to NAET© treatment. NAET© is applied by stimulating the pressure points along the spine while the patient is holding the allergen.
​
The premise of NAET is that a strong NST after the treatment indicates the patient has responded to the treatment. Then laser therapy or acupuncture is applied for 20 minutes to reinforce the treatment. Avoidance of the substance treated for at least 25 hours after the treatment is needed for best results.
​
NAET© can help reprogram the brain, reset the nervous system, and remove the blockages from the nervous pathways believed to aid in lowering the sensitivity to the allergens and help balance the body. It can help reduce digestive issues, skin conditions, hormonal imbalance, sleep disorder, auto immune problems and many more.

FAQ
General Questions
1. What is NAET?
NAET stands for Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique, an alternative approach developed by Dr. Devi Nambudripad in 1983, intended to alleviate allergies through a non-invasive, drug-free, and holistic method.
​
2. How does NAET work?
NAET involves identifying allergens through muscle response testing (applied kinesiology) and then applying acupressure or acupuncture techniques to desensitize the body to these substances. It is intended to "reprogram" the body's response to allergens, reducing or eliminating side effects or harmful reactions.
3. What conditions can NAET address?
It can possibly address a wide range of sensitivities, including those related to food, environmental factors, chemicals, heavy metals, and other substances.
4. Is NAET safe?
NAET is generally considered safe when performed by trained practitioners.
5. Does NAET hurt?
NAET is a non-invasive technique that typically involves gentle acupressure or acupuncture, which are generally not painful.
Before and During Treatment
6. What should I expect during my first NAET session?
The initial session typically includes a pulse and tongue diagnosis, evaluation of your health history, and identification of potential allergens using muscle response testing. If allergens are identified, the practitioner may proceed with the desensitization treatment during the same session.
7. How should I prepare for a NAET session?
It's advisable to wear loose-fitting and comfortable clothing, stay hydrated, have a light meal before the session, and refrain from wearing jewelry. Inform your practitioner about any medications or ongoing treatments.
8. How long does a NAET session last?
Sessions typically last between 45 and 60 minutes, depending on the number of allergens being addressed and the specific protocols used by the practitioner.
Effectiveness and Results
9. How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies depending on the individual and the number of allergens being treated. Some individuals may notice improvement after a few sessions, while others with multiple sensitivities might require more treatment.
10. How soon can I expect to see the results?
Some individuals report immediate relief after treatment, while others may experience gradual improvement over several sessions. Results can vary based on the severity and nature of the sensitivities.
Post-Treatment Care
11. Are there any side effects of NAET?
NAET is generally considered safe with or without reactions, depending on the sensitivity to the substance. However, some individuals might experience temporary fatigue, headache, or mild discomfort following a session during the detoxification period. Patients are taught to perform self-balancing treatment as part of a home care protocol to prevent adverse effects and reinforce the treatment.
12. What should I avoid after a NAET session?
Typically, patients are advised to avoid contact with the treated allergen for at least 25 hours after treatment to allow the body to adjust. However, some avoidance periods may vary depending on the severity of sensitivity. It's important to follow the instructions provided by your practitioner.
13. Can NAET be combined with other complementary or alternative treatments?
NAET can often be integrated with other therapies. It's essential to inform your NAET practitioner about any ongoing treatments to ensure coordinated care.
Cost
14. What is the cost?
The initial visit, which includes consultation, tongue and pulse diagnoses, and acupuncture, is $185 plus tax. The follow-up visit is $85 plus tax.
​Please note that while many individuals report positive experiences with NAET, scientific evidence supporting its efficacy is limited. It's advisable to consult with healthcare professionals and consider all available information when exploring treatment options. Please read the Disclaimer for more information.
