European method that allows administration of immunotherapy at home. It is safe and very efficient way to significantly reduce or completely eliminate allergy. Drops are made out of the same treatment serum that is used for allergy shots and diluted in glycerin to make solution stable. It works great for children as young as 4 years old and for adults. No systemic reactions (anaphylaxis) has been reported with that treatment which is a huge advantage compared to traditional shots. It takes only one month to build up the top (protective dose) compared to allergy shots when it takes up to 15 month to see the benefit.
