Overview

Allergies can disrupt daily life—whether from foods, environmental triggers, or chemical sensitivities. At Acupuncture of West Florida, we specialize in SAAT (Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment), a revolutionary technique designed to reduce or eliminate allergic responses safely, naturally, and effectively.

SAAT for Alpha-Gal: how it works

SAAT is a form of auricular acupuncture. A certified SAAT provider places one small needle at a set point on the ear. The needle stays in for about three weeks.

The aim is to calm the immune system's response to one allergen at a time. For Alpha-Gal, that is the sugar in red meat and other mammal products. SAAT does not use muscle testing, and it does not replace your allergist or your emergency medication.

Dr. Kim Windschauer, AP is a certified SAAT provider. She reviews your test results and reaction history first, and tells you honestly if she doesn't think SAAT is a good fit.

SAAT treatment reviews: what patients can expect

Responses vary from person to person. Some patients report fewer or milder reactions over time; others notice little change. We don't promise results.

This article is a general introduction to SAAT. If you already know what you are dealing with, the pages below go much further — candidacy, cost, what the three-week retention period involves, how we coordinate with your allergist or physician, and what happens if the treatment does not work for you.

What is SAAT?

SAAT is a highly specialized form of ear acupuncture developed by Dr. Nader Soliman. It works by placing a single, tiny semi-permanent needle in the outer ear for 3–4 weeks. This needle stimulates specific nerve pathways that help the body “reset” its overreaction to allergens.

Unlike traditional allergy treatments that may require lifelong medication or repeated shots, SAAT often provides long-lasting results after just one treatment cycle.

What Conditions Can SAAT Help?Patients across the country have found relief from:

Food allergies (peanuts, dairy, gluten, shellfish, etc.)

Environmental allergies (pollen, dust, mold, animal dander)

Chemical sensitivities (perfumes, cleaning products, dyes)

Alpha-Gal Syndrome (red meat allergy caused by tick bites)

Seasonal allergies (sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes)
