Naturopathic and herbalist therapies rely on various combinations of diet, cleansing the system, and administration of natural or herbal remedies to alleviate symptoms. They, like other complementary therapies, look at the individual in the round, taking into account the person’s temperament, constitution and life situation.

Therapies of this kind can be extremely effective against allergies and sensitivity. (A form of Chinese herbal treatment for eczema is currently undergoing medical trials in the UK by doctors to assess how widespread its effectiveness is.)

If you have food and chemical sensitivity, you may need to take care with any special diet proposed (including special drinks or infusions), or with taking herbal remedies. If you have a pre-disposition to food or chemical sensitivity, you may become intolerant of, and start to react to, components of the diet or remedies. If you start to feel ill on a special regime, test out whether you are sensitive to remedies, drinks or herbs. Again, take extra care if these therapies are used on a highly sensitive child. Do not give to a baby.
