Allergies, Eczema & Asthma
Toronto Naturopathic Clinic
Naturopathic Medicine excels at treating asthma, eczema and allergies because we treat the root causes of what are triggering the allergic reactions rather than simply cover up the symptoms with anti-allergy medications.
The causes of allergies, eczema and asthma are vast, including genetics, immune system dysfunction, deficiency of essential dietary fats, imbalances of intestinal bacteria, food sensitivities, poor air quality and emotional stress.
We work with you to find your unique triggers and to treat your underlying sensitivities. Using a combination of nutrition, herbal medicine, homeopathy and lifestyle counselling we help prevent allergic and inflammatory reactions before they start.
Food Allergies
Food allergies and intolerances can affect adults and children, often resulting in a diverse range of symptoms from migraines and joint pain, to mental health concerns and fatigue.
Allergic reactions to foods can be immediate (IgE-mediated) or delayed (IgG-mediated). Traditional 'skin prick' allergy testing reveals IgE-mediated reactions, but often does not pick up reactions to foods since food allergies are commonly mediated by IgG.
We use comprehensive IgE and IgG testing to assess food allergies using blood samples.
