Desensitisation currently comprises the only treatment that treats the allergy's cause. Once entirely dependent on the physician's personal experience, how to conduct this kind of therapy is now strictly dictated by an International Consensus compiled by the World Health Organization 

Desensitisation therapy consists of administering progressively larger doses of allergens in order to restore normal functioning of the immune system and to reduce the significance of symptoms of the allergic reaction.

Desensitisation protocols are highly circumscribed when it comes to:


- indications (not all forms of allergy, not all allergens, and not all patients are suitable for this approach);
- conduct (with such a long, demanding therapeutic procedure, commitment and involvement on the part of the patient are indispensable).
