This treatment aims to alleviate allergy symptoms by introducing small amounts of the allergen (cedar pollen) into the body over a long period of time. It is a simple treatment that involves placing the medication under the tongue and holding it there for a few minutes once a day, and it is usually recommended to continue it for 3 to 5 years.
