Dr Nambudripad conducted research over a period of 15 years which eventually resulted in the method for diagnosing and treating allergies of all types known as NAET. Her breakthrough moment occurred when she attended a course on electromagnetic fields and acupuncture. She realised that everything has an electromagnetic field and sometimes these fields are repellent to each other. If the body is repellent to a specific thing such as an item of food or something in the environment, an allergic response can result. She observed that acupuncture could be used to reverse the adverse charge of the allergen to match the body.

Using this knowledge she then developed a method to address allergies using acupressure and acupuncture points on the body in conjunction with exposure to the allergen. Unlike acupuncture there are no needles involved. Instead the relevant gate points of the meridians are stimulated with a battery operated device whilst the client is still in contact with the allergen. Babies and children too young to be treated on their own can be treated using a surrogate.
