The talk of the town is no longer snowstorms and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/blog\/severe-cold-flu-season-people-seeking-relief-tcm-remedies.html\">severe cold and flu season<\/a>. The landscape will soon transform into a magical bouquet of flower blooms, buzzing bees and, unfortunately for millions of people, another seasonal nuisance: allergies. In this post, we\u2019ll examine the root causes of seasonal allergies, as well as tips for prevention and treatment in TCM.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 800;\">What Causes Allergies? A Western Perspective<\/h2>\n<p>In conventional medicine, the release of pollen into the air by trees, grasses and weeds is by far the most common catalyst of allergies during Springtime.<\/p>\n<p>Pollen is mistaken as a pathogen by the immune system, which rallies to the defense, mobilizing IgE antibodies to attack pollen, thus triggering the release of inflammatory chemicals such as histamine. \u00a0Histamine opens the blood vessels and causes swollen membranes. The result is the familiar symptoms of runny nose, as well as itchy and watery eyes.<\/p>\n<p>In\u00a0western medicine, doctors prescribe prescription medications to treat seasonal allergies. Or, allergy sufferers self-medicate with over-the-counter antihistamines.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 800;\">What Causes Allergies? A TCM Perspective<\/h2>\n<p>In comparison, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), offers different theories for spring allergies.<\/p>\n<p>According to TCM theory, one explanation for seasonal allergies is the state of your health in the preceding season. Take the transition from winter to spring as an example. In the winter, stress can weaken immunity. Examples include working too hard; not resting or sleeping enough; going to bed too late; exercising too strenuously without resting and refueling the body; and getting wiped out by a nasty <a class=\"ahw-link\" style=\"display: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherbwholesale.com\/concern\/immune-support\/\" target=\"_parent\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cold or flu<\/a><a class=\"retail-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/cold\">cold or flu<\/a>. And don\u2019t forget about running around during the holidays buying gifts for friends and family. All these factors can produce <a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/blog\/what-is-qi-in-tcm.html\">Qi deficiency<\/a>, which in turn weakens the immune system.<\/p>\n<p>Symptoms of allergies manifest due to the weakest link in your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/blog\/zang-fu-organ-theory.html\">Zang fu organ system<\/a>. And more often than not, the weakest link is the Lung organ system. In fact, allergic skin diseases, rhinitis, and asthma are all related to the Lungs, according to TCM theory.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, Lung Qi deficiency causes these conditions. It makes sense that a runny nose is one of the most common symptoms of seasonal allergies. After all, the Lung meridian opens into the nose.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 800;\">Supporting Your Immune System Using TCM<\/h2>\n<div class=\"x-jd\"><a class=\"ahw-link\" style=\"display: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherbwholesale.com\/Guang-Ci-Tang\/Yu-Ping-Feng-Pian-JadeDefender-Tablets\" target=\"_parent\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/img\/yupingps.gif\" alt=\"JadeDefender\" \/><\/a><a class=\"retail-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/yuping\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/img\/yupingps.gif\" alt=\"JadeDefender\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>To lower your chance of having weakened Qi by the time Spring rolls around, take it extra easy in winter. There\u2019s also one of our classic TCM formulas that may help support your immune system: <a class=\"ahw-link\" style=\"display: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherbwholesale.com\/Guang-Ci-Tang\/Yu-Ping-Feng-Pian-JadeDefender-Tablets\" target=\"_parent\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">JadeDefender<\/a><a class=\"retail-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/yuping\/\">JadeDefender<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, most people wait before it\u2019s too late. And if that\u2019s the case for you, and you\u2019ve already experienced miserable allergy symptoms, your Lung Qi and Yin energy have been damaged. Thus, you need to nourish Lung Qi and Yin energy directly. Indirectly, it also helps to nourish the Spleen and Kidney organ systems.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 800;\">TCM Herbs for Nourishing Lung Qi and Yin Energy<\/h2>\n<div class=\"x-nac\"><a class=\"ahw-link\" style=\"display: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherbwholesale.com\/Guang-Ci-Tang\/Te-Xiao-Bi-Min-Gan-Pian-Nasal-AllergiClear-Tablets\" target=\"_parent\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/img\/biminps.gif\" alt=\"Nasal AllergiClear\" \/><\/a><a class=\"retail-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/bimin\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/img\/biminps.gif\" alt=\"Nasal AllergiClear\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"ahw-link\" style=\"display: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherbwholesale.com\/Single-Herb-Extracts\/Huang-Qi-Astragalus-Root-Extract-Granules\" target=\"_parent\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Astragalus<\/a><a class=\"retail-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/extract\/huangqi.shtml\">Astragalus<\/a> and and\u00a0<a class=\"ahw-link\" style=\"display: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherbwholesale.com\/Single-Herb-Extracts\/Bai-Zhu-Atractylodes-Rhizome-Extract-Granules\" target=\"_parent\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">atractylodes<\/a><a class=\"retail-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/extract\/baizhu.shtml\">atractylodes<\/a> are TCM herbs beneficial for Lung Qi.
