Overview:
Specific Immunotherapy (guided by allergy tests) will allow you to actually develop “tolerance” or “immunity” to these substances.
Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) is an alternative way to treat allergies without injections. An allergy practitioner gives you small doses of an allergen under the tongue in the form of drops containing natural protein extracts of whatever you are allergic to, in order to boost tolerance to the substance and reduce symptoms of allergy.
The goal of SIT is to reach a maintenance dose that modulates the immunological system and allows the allergen to be tolerated, thus reducing the patients’ symptoms for a prolonged period of time.
