What Are Environmental Allergies?

Environmental allergies are your immune system’s overreaction to common airborne triggers like:

  • Tree, grass, and weed pollens
  • Dust mites
  • Pet dander
  • Mold spores
  • Cockroach allergens

These allergens can lead to chronic inflammation, fatigue, sinus infections, asthma symptoms, and more.

  • Personalized to your specific allergen profile
  • Safe for both children and adults

Benefits of Allergy Immunotherapy

  • Reduces or eliminates the need for daily allergy medications

  • Improves asthma and sinus symptoms
