Seasonal sniffles, year-round congestion, itchy eyes, or unexpected skin reactions—sound familiar? If allergies are disrupting your daily life in the Willamette Valley, you’re not alone. At Alive Integrative Medicine, our naturopathic primary care team takes a root-cause approach to allergy management. We combine comprehensive allergy testing, convenient sublingual immunotherapy, and targeted supplements for allergies to help you find real, lasting relief without just masking symptoms. Whether you’re dealing with pollen, dust mites, pet dander, or food sensitivities, personalized care in a primary care setting can make all the difference. In this post, we’ll walk through how allergy testing works, why sublingual immunotherapy (allergy drops) is a game-changer, and which evidence-backed supplements can support your immune system naturally.
Many people live with undiagnosed or mismanaged allergies because symptoms often overlap with colds, sinus issues, or even asthma. That’s where allergy testing in primary care comes in. At Alive Integrative Medicine, we use targeted testing to identify exactly what’s triggering your immune system—so we can create a plan that actually works. Common reasons patients seek allergy testing:
We offer skin allergy testing (prick testing) right here in our Eugene clinic, along with spirometry for lung function when breathing issues are involved. Blood tests measuring specific IgE antibodies are also available when skin testing isn’t ideal. These methods are safe, quick, and provide clear results that guide treatment. The best part? Getting tested through your primary care provider means everything stays coordinated. No need to juggle referrals—our naturopathic doctors handle the full picture, from testing to follow-up care.
Once we identify your triggers through allergy testing, we may recommend sublingual immunotherapy—also called SLIT or allergy drops. Unlike traditional allergy shots, SLIT involves tiny doses of your specific allergens placed under the tongue daily at home. It gradually trains your immune system to stop overreacting, building long-term tolerance. How sublingual immunotherapy works:
Key benefits of sublingual immunotherapy:
Many patients notice fewer symptoms within months and reduced reliance on daily antihistamines. If allergy testing shows you’re a good candidate, SLIT can be a life-changing part of your primary care plan at Alive Integrative.

While immunotherapy addresses the root immune response, certain supplements can provide immediate symptom relief and support overall immune balance. Our naturopathic providers carefully select and dose supplements based on your allergy testing results, lab work, and individual needs. Here are some of the most researched options we often recommend:
Supplements work best as part of a personalized plan—not in isolation. Our primary care team reviews potential interactions, checks for quality, and monitors progress so you get real results without guesswork.
