What can we do for you?
At Primary Care Naturopathic Clinic, we first determine what specifically you are allergic to with the help of a quick in office allergy test. Depending on what you are allergic to (pollen from grass, weed, ragweed, tree or a combination of antigens) a unique immunotherapy allergy drop will then be individually tailored for you as part of a wholistic treatment including but not limited to liver detoxification.
Is the allergy treatment effective?
The allergy immunotherapy we offer has been recognized by the World Health Organization as an effective treatment for seasonal allergy. It has a long history of use in Europe. It’s effectiveness as a long term treatment has been verified by over 50 double blind, placebo controlled clinical trials. It will reduce your dependence on antihistamines and helps your body become less sensitive to specific allergens.
What you can do right now at home?
Nasal irrigation which is the process of rinsing away allergens and mucus from your nasal passages with saline (1/4 teaspoon of salt mixed in one cup of lukewarm water) is a quick and effective way to help alleviate nasal congestion. A Neti pot can be purchased from any health food store and used for nasal irrigation.
