Allergic Rhinitis (AR) is an allergic inflammation of the nasal passages, occurring when you breathe in something you are allergic to such as dust, pollen, or animal dander – i.e. antigen exposure. Many suffer through symptoms for their duration, which for some is all year long for antigens like dust or pet dander. Others take anti-histamines to suppress the symptoms for temporary relief.
AR can cause daytime sleepiness, reduced work productivity, impaired sleep, and reduced quality of life. What if there was a way to not only find relief, but to get rid of the symptoms entirely?
This can be done in 3 simple steps:
1) Book an appointment at Bayview Chiropractic Health Centre
2) Have a Skin Prick Allergy Test performed by Dr. Liz Mingay, Naturopathic Doctor
3) Take 2-3 drops (Sublingual Immunotherapy - SLIT) compounded specifically for your sensitivities under your tongue for ~2 years
Two years may sound like a long time, but the relief substantially outweighs the unwanted allergies. SLIT is based on a similar theory to that of allergy shots, however it saves you the scheduled appointments and the discomfort of the injection.
