It's Not So Stuffy Anymore

Spring is the perfect season to enjoy the great outdoors but for many people, spring’s arrival also means allergy flare ups. Allergy is caused by the immune system’s hyper-sensitivity to airborne allergens born from trees, grass, pet dander, pollen, dust, air pollutants, and food. This can cause symptoms such as sneezing, itchy watery eyes, nasal congestion, runny nose, headache, red eyes, even coughing or wheezing. Allergic rhinitis or seasonal allergies occurs when allergens and antibodies become reactive. The nasal mucosa becomes swollen obstructing nasal drainage which often leads to sinusitis and congestion.

Let’s take a look from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective on why our bodies develop allergies or allergic rhinitis. This is due to Lung Qi deficiency with Wind and an underlying Kidney deficiency. The Lung’s Defensive Qi guards the exterior of our body, the Wei Qi. It circulates between the skin and muscle and prevents exterior pathogen attacks. When it is weak, Wind invades the Lung channel and nose manifesting as allergies. Often times, allergies are due to constitutional weaknesses or if it develops later in life, it is due to a progressive decline of Kidney Qi.
