Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment (SAAT)

SAAT is a specialized acupuncture technique that involves placing tiny needles (approximately 3mm in length) in specific points of the ear. These needles remain in place for three to four weeks, secured with medical adhesive, after which we re-evaluate your response. For food sensitivities, if re-testing is negative, we guide you through a gradual and supportive reintroduction process. The vast majority of patients experience significant desensitization—often after just one treatment.

For individuals seeking SAAT treatment in Loveland, Colorado, our clinic serves patients throughout Northern Colorado, including Fort Collins, Windsor, Greeley, Estes Park, Longmont, and Boulder. Because SAAT is a specialized and less widely available treatment, many patients also travel from across Colorado—including Denver—and neighboring states and cities, such as Cheyenne, to receive care.

Patients choose our Loveland acupuncture clinic for SAAT because it offers the potential for long-lasting relief from persistent allergy symptoms, Alpha Gal Syndrome, and MCAS—often with only one treatment, but for some it may take a few more to address additional allergens.

Please note: If you have experienced an anaphylactic reaction to an allergen, the goal of SAAT treatment is not to reintroduce that allergen, but rather to help minimize or eliminate cross-reactions, airborne sensitivities, and related symptoms.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is the use of extremely fine, flexible needles, which are inserted into the body at specific acupuncture points. The needles work with the body’s energy system, also known as Qi (pronouced “chee”). The Qi in the body flows along specific pathways (channels/meridians) through the body, which tend to become blocked (stagnant) or deficient. Acupuncture harmonizes the flow of energy in the body and acts as a catalyst in the healing process. Acupuncture addresses numerous acute and chronic health concerns and supports wellness through maintenance and preventive care.

Diet & Lifestyle

In order to maintain health and longevity or treat illness, dietary and lifestyle habits are assessed and adjusted to promote optimum vitality. Much like herbal medicine, the energetic qualities of food and drink are taken into consideration. To achieve the greatest benefits from the acupuncture treatments and herbal therapy, it is important to support them with a proper diet.

Electrical Stimulation

Electrical stimulation, also called “e-stim”, is often used to enhance effects of an acupuncture treatment. This is accomplished with a mild electrical stimulation on the needles, which the patient experiences as a slight pulsing. In cases of pain, it is used to relax muscle spasms and increase circulation in the injured area.
