Hay fever is caused by an allergy to plant pollen, mainly affecting the eyes and upper respiratory tract. In a few cases, it is caused by fungi, dust mites or other inhaled substances or foods, which are clearly seasonal.
Symptoms
The main symptoms are itchy, watery eyes, red and swollen eyelids, itchy nasal passages, constant sneezing, often up to a dozen at a time, and increased watery discharge after sneezing that lasts all day at the beginning of the disease, as well as an itchy, dry throat and dry cough.
Itchy, watery, swollen eyes
Sneezing fits and discharge
Itchy throat and cough
According to TCM, this disease is caused by internal factors such as dysfunction of the internal organs, especially the lungs, spleen and kidneys, and external factors such as the penetration of wind and cold into the nostrils.
The main treatment method lies in tonifying the Lungs, promoting Qi, strengthening the surface, strengthening the Spleen and warming the Kidneys.
Acupuncture can coordinate the function of the body's internal organs, balance yin and yang, improve the body's constitution, regulate impaired immune function, and at the same time improve local blood circulation, thus eliminating the inflammation of the nasal mucosa and effectively combating both the symptoms and the cause. The treatment will help patients get rid of allergic rhinitis as quickly as possible.
