Intolerance/Allergy Testing

ALLERGY/ INTOLERANCE TESTING
Care Cure Acupuncture Offers an extensive intolerance test which measures the sensitivity of up to 110 food items, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, food additives, colouring and preservatives. We also include a test for dust mites, pollen and animal hair.
An intolerance usually occurs when we eat too much of one particular food like wheat, potatoes or cheese. In Ireland, a country known for damp wet weather, our bodies find it difficult to digest wet grains like wheat as the digestive system is not hot enough. This is seen when Irish people go on holiday to countries like Italy and amazingly have their intolerance to wheat disappeared.

The allergy test is conducted by snipping a small strand of hair – this allows us to conduct our test and it makes no difference to the results whether you dye your hair or not. Then we have a short questionnaire which is sent with the hair to our labs for analysis. Within 5-10 working days we will have your results and call you to check if you would like to discuss them or prefer to have them posted to your address. If you would like to talk to someone about available substitutes we can arrange for someone to call you and give you advice on your results.
Your intolerances are colour coded as follows:
Red High Intolerance (to be avoided for 6 months to 12 months)
Orange Medium Intolerance (to be avoided for 3-6 months)
Yellow Low 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 Vitamins/Minerals (lacking in the diet.)
The Allergy Test costs €60 for the full service.
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...
