What is SAAT and how it works?

Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment (SAAT) is a minimally invasive, drug-free approach that provides long relief from allergy symptoms.

The technique involves stimulating specific points on the ear with small, sterile needles naturally “recode” your immune system to eliminate overreacting to allergens. The treatment also likely to eliminate any cross allergies for that particular allergen.

By stimulating certain points on the ear corresponding to the body's organs and systems, the treatment can help rebalance the body's energy flow and alleviate allergic responses.

SAAT is a powerful one treatment with one needle approach recommended for treating all types of allergies including environmental allergies, food, Alpha-gal Syndrome (AGS), Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), and medications. Dr. Free has trained under Dr. Nader Soliman directly and is certified to perform this acupuncture technique.

What can SAAT treat?

SAAT has been used to treat a variety of allergies, including:

  • Food allergies or sensitivities i.e. fruits, vegetables, nuts, wheat, dairy, shellfish, meats, preservatives…etc. The alpha-gal syndrome (allergy to red meat caused by a tick bite)

  • Home & Environment allergies or sensitivities i.e. cat, dog, dust mites, mold, tree, grass pollen, fragrances, cosmetics, cleaning products.

It is also suggested in combination with dietary changes, nutritional supplements, and lifestyle changes, to conclude a comprehensive approach to allergy treatment.

What does the SAAT treatment entails?

The treatment begins with bio-energetic testing to confirm the allergen(s) that your immune system has developed a negative response to. We will then identify the most electrically conductive location in the ear using a specialized voltmeter. ONE tiny, specialized ear acupuncture needle inserted per allergen. Each needle is covered by a small piece of medical adhesive tape, and worn for 3-4 weeks, and then removed during the follow up session.  1-3 specific allergens may be addressed per treatment.
