Holistic Care for Alpha-Gal Syndrome
Alpha-Gal Syndrome
A comprehensive, natural approach using ear acupuncture, full-body acupuncture, and custom herbal protocols to help reduce sensitivity reactions and restore digestive health.
Alpha-Gal Syndrome is a tick-transmitted allergy to alpha-gal, a sugar molecule found in red meat and many mammalian products. At Pure Holistic Health Clinic, Dr. Rebecca Chrestman combines three powerful modalities — auriculotherapy, body acupuncture, and individualized herbal medicine — to calm the immune response, support the digestive system, and improve overall quality of life.
Important to know: As of today, there is currently no known medical cure for Alpha-Gal Syndrome. While conventional medicine focuses primarily on strict avoidance of triggers, holistic care offers a meaningful path forward — working to reduce the severity of the immune response, support the body's natural healing processes, and improve day-to-day quality of life for those living with this condition.
Ear Acupuncture (Auriculotherapy)
Ear acupuncture, or auricular acupuncture, has been used for thousands of years. There are a set of points used to treat the allergen. Ear acupuncture and ear tacks can be used for Alpha-Gal. Ear tacks are small, painless seeds or needles that stay in place between visits to provide continuous therapeutic support.
Full-Body Acupuncture
Full body acupuncture is extremely strong in treating the body with Alpha-Gal. Full body acupuncture is used to reduce the allergen or histamine response, along with correcting any problems caused by Alpha-Gal such as digestive problems, skin issues, body pain, and brain fog.
Herbal Medicine Protocol
Some patients need a stronger, more full treatment — and that is where Chinese herbs help. Herbal formulas are personalized to fit your situation and are safe for Alpha-Gal.
