Do you find yourself suffering from seasonal allergies?  Are you prone to getting sinus infections?  Do you suffer from chronic fatigue?  During certain times of the year, do you find yourself itching your eyes, blowing your nose or sneezing? 

At the Hotze Health & Wellness Center, our approach to treating airborne allergies is two-fold: First, a lengthy interview precedes every patient appointment to provide information that is crucial to diagnosing allergies. This interview covers the patient’s family history, their personal history of illness, and their present symptoms.

Allergy testing is administered to a guest only after a diagnosis of an allergic disorder is made based upon the above information and a physical examination.

The most common airborne allergens include weed, tree, and grass pollens; dust mites; mold spores; and animal dander that may cause a wide array of allergic responses or symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, itchy eyes, nasal drainage, sinus infections, bronchitis, asthma or other symptoms.

The allergy test is used to determine the proper dose of the allergen with which to begin treatment — a dose strong enough to produce allergy-blocking antibodies but not so strong to cause a full-blown reaction.

By treating you with the very allergens to which you react, antibodies are developed, which will help block the allergy reaction. This allergy treatment is similar to an immunization, and desensitizes you to the allergens.

We use sublingual (under the tongue) drops, rather than injections, for allergy treatment. This saves time by enabling you to take your treatment at home rather than at the doctor's office. Sublingual allergy treatment may be more effective than allergy injections and it is extremely safe.
