Allergy Treatment
Natural, effective relief from seasonal allergies, food sensitivities, and environmental triggers - without drowsy medications.
Natural Allergy Treatment in Scottsdale
Living in Arizona means dealing with unique allergy challenges year-round. At Arizona Integrative Medical Center, we go beyond antihistamines to address why your body overreacts to allergens and provide lasting relief.
Allergies occur when the immune system mistakenly identifies harmless substances as threats. Rather than just blocking symptoms, our naturopathic approach strengthens and balances your immune system to reduce allergic reactivity at its source.
Our Allergy Philosophy
Antihistamines and decongestants can provide temporary relief but don't address why you're allergic. We investigate the underlying immune dysfunction and work to restore balance so your body stops overreacting to harmless substances.
Types of Allergies We Treat
Seasonal Allergies
Natural relief from hay fever, pollen allergies, and seasonal symptoms without drowsiness or side effects.
Food Sensitivities
Comprehensive testing to identify food triggers causing digestive issues, fatigue, skin problems, or brain fog.
Environmental Allergies
Treatment for dust mite, mold, pet dander, and chemical sensitivities that affect daily life.
Asthma & Respiratory
Natural support for asthma, chronic sinusitis, and respiratory allergies to improve breathing.
Common Allergy Symptoms
Allergies can manifest in many ways beyond the obvious sneezing and congestion:
- Sneezing, runny nose, congestion
- Itchy, watery eyes
- Post-nasal drip
- Frequent sinus infections
- Asthma and wheezing
- Headaches
- Skin rashes, hives, eczema
- Digestive upset, bloating
- Fatigue and brain fog
- Joint and muscle pain
- Mood changes
- Sleep disturbances
Our Allergy Treatment Approach
- Comprehensive Testing: Food sensitivity panels, environmental allergy testing, and immune function assessment
- Gut Health Restoration: 70% of your immune system is in your gut - healing the digestive tract reduces allergic reactivity
- Natural Antihistamines: Quercetin, vitamin C, bromelain, and other nutrients that stabilize mast cells
- Herbal Medicine: Time-tested herbs like stinging nettle, butterbur, and astragalus for allergy relief
- Elimination & Rotation Diets: Identifying and removing food triggers while healing the gut
- Environmental Guidance: Reducing exposure to allergens in your home and workplace
Food Sensitivity Testing
Unlike traditional skin prick tests, our comprehensive food sensitivity panels test for IgG reactions to 96+ foods. Many people are surprised to discover that "healthy" foods they eat daily are triggering their symptoms.
Learn About Lab TestingThe Gut-Allergy Connection
Research increasingly shows that allergies often begin in the gut. When the intestinal lining becomes permeable ("leaky gut"), undigested food particles enter the bloodstream and trigger immune reactions. Our approach addresses this by:
Remove Triggers
Identify and eliminate foods and factors that damage the gut lining.
Repair the Gut
Use targeted nutrients and herbs to heal the intestinal lining.
Restore Balance
Rebuild healthy gut bacteria to support proper immune function.
Natural Allergy Relief for Arizona
Arizona's unique environment means year-round allergy challenges:
- Spring: Tree pollen (olive, mulberry, ash, mesquite)
- Summer: Grass pollen, dust storms
- Fall: Weed pollen (ragweed, sagebrush)
- Winter: Indoor allergens (dust, mold, pet dander)
We can help you navigate each season with natural strategies tailored to Arizona's unique allergy calendar.
Beyond Symptom Relief
While we provide immediate relief for acute allergy symptoms, our ultimate goal is to reduce your overall allergic reactivity. Many patients find that after comprehensive treatment, they:
- Need fewer medications (or none at all)
- Have milder seasonal symptoms
- Can tolerate previously triggering foods
- Experience improved energy and mental clarity
- Have better overall immune function
