For millions of people, the arrival of spring is bittersweet. Who doesn’t love pleasant weather and beautiful scenery as the land wakes up from its months-long slumber? But if you suffer from seasonal allergies, the beauty comes with a price: stuffy, runny noses, itchy eyes, and fatigue just to name a few of the more common symptoms. I’m here to tell you there is hope! There are many interventions you can use to lessen your symptoms, and even abolish them altogether!

Immunotherapy

Our office offers members a way to become free of severe allergies permanently. This is how it works: you come in for a blood test to determine your specific allergens. A compounding pharmacy creates a custom microscopic dose of your allergens to be given under the tongue (no shots!). Every 90 days, your allergens are increased incrementally over two to three years until your body no longer has an inappropriate reaction. This is the most cost up front, but also the most permanent option.

Allergy Shot

Allergy shots are injections given by your doctor every three months or as needed. Our members only pay for the injections, their visits are covered by their membership.

Prescription Medications

If you prefer, nasal sprays and oral medication are easy options, provided you are good at remembering to take them. Since we offer medications wholesale, even over-the-counter options are often less expensive for our members than buying them at a store or pharmacy.

Probiotics

In a 2015 meta-analysis, it was indicated that taking probiotics could improve allergy symptoms. Considering the overall health benefits of probiotics, this is just one more reason to add it to your daily supplement routine.

You don’t have to suffer through miserable symptoms. There are many avenues to help reduce or eliminate the effects of the season so that you can make the most of what many consider the best season of the year.
