If you are dealing with chronic allergy symptoms, such as sinusitis, post nasal drip, asthma, chronic cough, mucous in the mornings, itchy skin, itchy eyes, or even reactions after eating certain foods, our clinic is a good choice for you.
Our clinic director, Dr. Anthony Gucciardi, ND, discusses his experience with allergies in his private practice.
Our immune system is constantly assessing our body, creating antibodies to food allergens, environmental allergens, chemical products, synthetic materials, as well as self tissue (autoimmunity). This can affect people differently, and ultimately create symptoms that are expressed differently from individual to individual.
In addition to investigating which allergens contribute to the symptoms, we also aim to explore alternative treatments to those typically found in the western medical system.
Hay fever, itchy eyes, runny nose, and skin hives are few of the common symptoms from allergies. While over the counter medications are the first line of treatment, they often comes with side-effects.
Aside from seasonal allergies, there are some individuals who take anti-histamines and cortisone creams daily because of skin allergies, sinusitis, itchy eyes, asthma, or food reactions.
A deeper investigation is often necessary, and the toolbox in Natural Medicine is much larger than that in the western medical system.
