allergy desensitization

Allergy desensitization, also known as immunotherapy, is a treatment that reduces allergic reactions by gradually exposing the body to small amounts of the allergen. Over time, this helps the immune system become less sensitive and less reactive to the substance. Usually administered via injections or oral tablets, the goal is to build tolerance, decrease allergy symptoms, and improve quality of life. This process strengthens the immune system's ability to recognize the allergen without triggering a strong allergic response. It is a well-established method for managing allergies to substances like pollen, grass, dust mites, or insect stings.
