Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT)
SLIT involves placing a small dose of allergen extracts under the tongue to desensitize the immune system to specific allergens. This treatment has shown promising results in reducing allergic symptoms for seasonal allergies and hay fever.
Probiotics
Probiotics, particularly those containing Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains, have been found to modulate the immune response and reduce allergic reactions. Incorporating probiotic-rich foods or supplements into the diet may help alleviate allergy symptoms.
Butterbur Extract
Butterbur, a plant native to Europe and Asia, has been used traditionally to treat allergies. Studies have shown that butterbur extract can help relieve symptoms of hay fever by acting as a natural antihistamine and anti-inflammatory agent. However, it's important to use a standardized, PA-free butterbur extract to avoid potential liver toxicity.
