At Telluride Whole Health in Telluride, CO, we offer Sublingual Allergy Testing and Immunotherapy, a convenient and pain-free solution for managing allergies. Unlike traditional allergy shots, sublingual immunotherapy involves placing liquid drops containing FDA-approved antigens under your tongue. These drops are absorbed by specialized cells that help build tolerance to allergens over time. Following the proven La Crosse Method Protocol™, patients take a precise dose three times daily, allowing for treatment in the comfort of their own home.
Many patients begin to notice improvements within a few months, though long-lasting tolerance typically develops over 3-5 years. Backed by over 100 years of clinical use and global research, sublingual immunotherapy is recognized as a safe and effective alternative to allergy shots. The World Health Organization and the Cochrane Collaboration endorse this method, highlighting its ability to significantly reduce allergy symptoms and the need for allergy medications.
Most people with chronic allergies can benefit from drops. They can be especially helpful for people who can’t tolerate, don’t respond to, or can’t commit to allergy shots
Specialized cells under the tongue absorb the allergens and deliver them to tolerance-enabling cells in your immune system. Over time, as the dose strengthens, your body builds immunity to the allergens, reducing or eliminating symptoms.
While both methods use small amounts of allergens to build tolerance, allergy drops are administered under the tongue at home, whereas allergy shots require injections at a clinic. Allergy drops are also pain-free and more convenient
Yes, allergy drops are safe and effective for children, making them a great option for families looking for a convenient allergy treatment.
