================== ARTICLE START ==================

Sadly more and more children are suffering from allergies, and

there are certain signs that indicate when allergies are

causing or significantly contributing to health problems.

Here's a short checklist of what to look out for. The more of

these your child has the more likely they are to be suffering

from allergies:

1. Dark circles or bags under the eyes making the child look

permanently tired. In Chinese medicine this area of the face is

linked to the adrenal glands. The adrenal glands are one of the

main organs of the body involved in stress reactions, and

exposure to allergens certainly produces stress in the body.

Sometimes there is also a crease seen under the eyelids.

2. Dry, flaky lips Often the edge of the lip is an indistinct

blur rather than there being a definite line between it and the

rest of the face. Michio Kushi in his book Oriental Diagnosis

says that different parts of the lip correspond to different

parts of the digestive system. The upper lip represents the

stomach. The lower part corresponds to the intestines. These

parts of the body are often involved with allergic reactions

particularly if the problem is with foods.

3. Sweaty feet The liver is the main detoxifying organ of the

body. When it is not functioning properly or has to work

overtime then the feet tend to be very sweaty. In allergic

reactions the liver is coping with an overload of toxins.

4. One or both ears sometimes red and/or burning The reaction

usually starts about one and three quarter-hours after exposure

to the offending substance and lasts for about half an hour. I

do not know whether it is significant if it is one ear or both

ears, but the timing seems very precise. The redness usually

lasts for about half an hour. This particular reaction can

become a very useful self-help diagnostic technique if you pay

attention to your child's ears!

5. Children with a tendency to allergies are often blond hair.

They are usually pale; in fact so pale that sometimes they are

suspected of suffering from anaemia. In some children this

paleness is not at first sight evident, because they have very

rosy cheeks either all the time or some of the time. Sometimes

if you feel the child’s cheek it will be hot and burning, or

papery and dry.

6. A child with a lot of food sensitivities will often be a

fussy eater. The parent will often say: ‘My child would be

happy if he could live on X.’ The child is probably allergic to

X, whatever that is. Frequently they become irritable and

bad-tempered if they have to go without their favourite food

for even a short period of time Breast fed babies are either

difficult feeders or need to be constantly fed both day and

night and may be difficult to wean.

7. Babies and children with food allergies are usually either

very good tempered or very bad tempered first thing in the

morning.

8. Very often there is a family history of allergies with near

relatives suffering from eczema, hay fever, etc.

9. Allergic children (and adults) often like peculiar smells:

they sniff felt tip pens or enjoy the smell of petrol (gas) at

petrol stations. They are nearly always allergic to the smell

they like so much and, like a drug addict, are seeking out a

fix!

So what to do about it? Try visiting a therapist with a

particular interest in allergies. I particularly recommend

health kinesiology, which has a lot of success not only

detecting allergies but also correcting them, so the child does

not have to avoid the things he/she is allergic to.
