Low Dose Allergen Therapy operates on a principle of desensitization. Allergies, essentially, are the result of an overactive immune response to substances that are normally harmless. LDA works by re-educating the immune system, guiding it to recognize these substances, or allergens, as non-threatening. Unlike traditional allergy treatments, which often involve exposing the body to escalating doses of allergens, LDA employs ultra-low doses right from the start, emphasizing the importance of precision and safety.

LDA often takes the form of sublingual drops placed under the tongue. This sublingual route allows for the allergens to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream.

LDA is given at such low doses that instead of picking and choosing what allergens need to be treated, the formula is broken down into 3 categories. Each category can be given at the same time.
