Allergy Testing at Care Cure Acupuncture Galway City, Loughrea, Tuam, Dun Laoghaire & Longford

An allergy intolerance is an acute sensitivity to an otherwise harmless substance, which the immune system confuses with a dangerous infection thereby releasing a surge of histamine, which causes allergic symptoms.


At Care Cure we conduct an extensive intolerance test, which measures the sensitivity of up to 110 food items, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, food additives, colouring and preservatives. In addition to this the test also checks for dust mites, pollen and animal hair. 

We conduct the test by taking a strand of hair, which contains your DNA and it makes no difference to the results if you dye your hair or not. Next the hair is posted to our labs for a complete analysis and the results are sent back to us within 5-10 working days. At this stage we will give the person a call and discuss results over the phone or ask them to come in and talk to us. Results can be emailed or posted depending on preference.

The results are colour coded with red being the most dangerous high intolerance (to be avoided for 6 months to 12 months), orange being medium intolerance (to be avoided for 3-6 months) and yellow being a slight intolerance (to be avoided for up to 3 months or if necessary the substance can be taken in small does twice or three times a week). Green is the colour code depicting vitamins, minerals and substitutes that are lacking in the diet.

Substitution can be difficult for items such as wheat and dairy. To make it easier for you to avoid intolerances we have added on a free service where you can ask to be called by our nutrition expert who will explain in detail what substitutes are available and make out individual lists of substitute foods.

Test costs €60 and are conducted in the clinic. We also require the customer to fill in a form on the day.

We also offer free Consultations in the clinic if you feel there is a more serious problem. These are conducted using tongue and pulse diagnosis and can highlight underlining digestion, respiratory, skin and stomach issues.

Eliminate Fibroids The Natural Way with Care Cure Acupuncture

The section below explains how the condition of the liver channel is connected with uterine fibroids.  Your liver regulates the blood in your body – in other words we say in Traditional Chinese Medicine theory that the liver has been given the function of storing blood in the body, regulating blood flow and preventing blood overflow.   I.               Storage of Blood Blood from the liver glorifies and nourishes the body’s meridians (channels which flow through the body) and it also nourishes your fingers/toes nails and eyes. If blood stored in your liver failed to nourish the meridians, it would result in symptoms including numbness, pins and needles, tendon twitch, muscle spasms, and convulse of limbs. Similarly if the eyes do not receive proper nourishment from the liver blood, patients will experience dry, sore eyes or even blurred vision. If your nails do not get enough blood supply, they will be...

Tongue Diagnosis in Care Cure Acupuncture Clinics

Image
When visiting our clinic for a consultation, you will be asked to stick out your tongue so our practitioner can diagnose your condition. This can seem like a very strange request, and you’re usually left to wonder what they saw there. This article helps clarify what your practitioner sees on your tongue by clearly explaining the basics of tongue analysis, and will also show you how you can use that information to make dietary choices to benefit your overall well-being. Basically, your tongue is a reflection of what’s happening inside your body. Natural medicine tries to find balance in your whole body. Along with your pulse and symptom presentation, your tongue is an easily accessible way to find out what your inner landscape looks like, and can help you know what will bring you further into, or out of balance. WHAT TO LOOK FOR Shape Is your tongue thin and pointy, or is it more thick and flabby with tooth-marks around the edges? Is it quivery? Is some of i...

Acupuncture and Herbs to treat Sinus Infections Sinusitis  or  sinus infection  is inflammation of the air cavities within the passages of the nose. Tiny holes that connect your nasal passages to your sinuses get blocked. It can be caused by a number of factors including colds and flu viruses, infection, polyps, allergies and irritants. If your sinuses can’t drain properly it causes inflammation and swelling around the nasal area. This can directly affect your breathing, cause pain, irritation, headaches and affect your day to day living. The combination of acupuncture and Chinese herbs is a highly effective way to treat both the symptoms and the root cause of your sinusitis. Our practitioners stimulate the small channels that connect the sinuses to the nasal passages. Stimulating these congestion points increases blood flow to your sinuses and loosens mucus . This allows the mucus to drain into the nose from the sinuses and allows air to flow into the...
