Food Allergy

Immunotherapy

The principle of immunotherapy is that the immune system can be desensitised to allergens that otherwise may cause disease. In this way, desensitisation to an environmental allergen can potentially change the underlying process for allergic disease.

Allergic Rhinitis

Currently 1 in 5 Australians suffers from allergic rhinitis. Control of allergic rhinitis can help with management and control of asthma.
