NB However, allergists at the recent annual meeting of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology are now discussing how herbal treatments may be integrated into conventional treatments for allergy symptoms. Dr William Silvers of the ACAAI Integrative Medicine Committee espouses the integration of therapies so that each allergic patient receives truly individual care. In particular, one promising remedy is a Chinese herbal formula (FAHF-2), which early tests have shown to reduce peanut anaphylaxis in mice. FAHF-2 has a prolonged effect of up to 40 weeks, with very few side effects. However, caution is advised before taking any herbal formulas, and patients should always consult their allergists before starting any additional treatments. Source: ACAAI
