What is immune system allergy desensitisation?

Allergy immunotherapy (AIT) works by gradually desensitising your immune system to allergens, offering lasting relief from hay fever and other respiratory allergies. It’s a scientifically backed approach for tackling the root cause of allergies, not just the symptoms.

Why allergy immunotherapy / desensitisation is shaping the future of allergy care

Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT) is prescribed 230 times more frequently in countries like Germany, where advanced healthcare standards are prioritised. This proven treatment addresses the root cause of hay fever and provides lasting relief. By adopting SLIT, you’re choosing a therapy trusted in the world’s most progressive healthcare systems.

The data is in: long-term allergy relief is real and achievable

In a recent three-year clinical study, 100% of patients experienced increasing relief from their allergy symptoms over time through allergy immunotherapy (AIT).

By gradually exposing your system to controlled doses, this approach desensitises your body over time, reducing allergic reactions at the source. It’s a natural and scientifically backed way to achieve lasting relief from hay fever and respiratory allergies.
