What is SAAT?
Soliman’s Auricular Allergy Therapy (SAAT) is a novel, non-invasive treatment designed to help individuals manage and reduce allergic symptoms by targeting specific acupoints on the ear. This therapy combines principles of traditional acupuncture and modern allergy treatment methods, offering a personalized approach to allergy relief.
Dr. Robert Bastress II, a licensed acupuncturist, is dedicated to providing a holistic approach to health by integrating several advanced therapies. He combines Nutrition Response Testing (NRT), Qi-5 Laser Therapy, Electro-Acupuncture, neuro-acupuncture, and SAAT Allergy Therapy to address the root causes of health issues and promote long-term wellness.
Nutrition Response Testing allows Dr. Bastress to assess the body’s response to various nutrients and identify underlying deficiencies or imbalances. This diagnostic tool helps create personalized nutritional protocols to support the body’s healing processes and optimize organ function. Complementing NRT, Qi-5 Laser Therapy uses light wavelengths to stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation, helping the body recover from injury and stress.
Electro-Acupuncture is a modern adaptation of traditional acupuncture, incorporating a mild electrical current to stimulate acupuncture points. This enhances the therapeutic effects, promoting better energy flow and supporting the body’s ability to fight off illness. In addition, neuro-acupuncture focuses on the nervous system, using targeted acupuncture to address conditions like chronic pain, stress, and neurological dysfunction.
Dr. Bastress also incorporates SAAT Allergy Therapy (Soliman’s Auricular Allergy Therapy), which uses auricular acupuncture to help the body reduce allergic reactions and improve immune responses. By targeting specific points on the ear, SAAT therapy works to alleviate symptoms of environmental and food allergies.
By combining these modalities, Dr. Bastress offers a comprehensive, personalized approach to health that addresses physical, emotional, and nutritional needs, helping patients achieve optimal well-being through natural, non-invasive treatments.
SAAT stands for Soliman’s Auricular Allergy Treatment. This method was developed by Dr1. Nader Soliman, a practitioner with over 25 years of experience in auricular acupuncture. SAAT is a specialized form of auricular therapy that uses specific points in the ear to alleviate a wide range of allergic reactions2.
