Long-term relief from persistent, disruptive, and uncomfortable allergy symptoms is possible for your child. If conventional allergy treatments haven’t been effective, it may be time to see how functional medicine can improve your child’s quality of life. Here is how the natural pediatric care team at Elite Personalized Medicine approaches natural allergy relief for kids:
Functional Medicine for Allergies
The basic principle of functional medicine for kids is the same as it is for adults: uncovering root causes and creating treatment plans that directly address those root causes. Our goal is to support your child’s natural healing processes so they can see improvement in complex issues that don’t always respond to traditional medicine methods.
Food Allergies & Sensitivity Testing
Whether it’s specific food sensitivities, environmental factors, or poor immune function, holistic pediatrics relies on lab results and data to get the full picture of your child’s health. Once they have been tested, we can tailor protocols to improve your child’s gut health, modify their diet, add supplementation if necessary, as well as address any stress, sleep, or mood-related symptoms.
Seasonal Allergies & SLIT Therapy
Just like with food allergies, our pediatric holistic medicine approach tests children for specific allergen triggers so that we can provide an accurate and comprehensive treatment plan. A natural option we often recommend is SLIT therapy for allergy relief. This is either a liquid or a tablet that dissolves under the tongue, made by an expert compounding pharmacy and delivered directly to you. Why do we recommend it? Because SLIT therapy targets the immune response, rather than just masking symptoms.
