How does Chinese medicine view allergic rhinitis?

How does Chinese medicine view allergic rhinitis?

Hello, I am happy to answer your question. In recent years, Dr. Zhu has found that many people develop allergic rhinitis after the beginning of autumn, and it is a yearly attack with obvious seasonality. Most of them have itchy nose, no ventilation, sneezing, snotty nose, symptoms worsened by cold air or dust, dust mites, fumes and other environments, accompanied by dry and itchy throat, itchy ears, conjunctiva redness, swelling and congestion, headache, reduced sense of smell, insomnia and dreaminess, and some of them are often misjudged as colds, and they take their own cold medicines to relieve their symptoms, which makes them recurring and painful. Individuals with severe allergic rhinitis also develop sinusitis, otitis media and bronchial asthma, so the harm of this disease should not be ignored.

★ How does Chinese medicine view allergic rhinitis?

  • First of all, I would like to explain that Chinese medicine has a more complete understanding of the etiology of allergic rhinitis, and successive generations of medical doctors on this disease have the rationale for the method of prescription and medication, but Chinese medicine does not have "allergic" as a medical term, on the basis of the understanding of the pathology of allergic rhinitis, from the "Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine" to say, as follows "The term "guest" refers to external wind and cold evils that invade the human body, including allergens such as dust mites and fumes, which are categorized as external evils. Sun pulse refers to the skin's tiny blood vessels (capillaries), meaning that wind and cold invade the blood vessels on the surface of the human body, the lungs are in charge of the skin and hair, and the orifices are opened in the nose, and when the skin and hair are affected by evil, the lungs are unfavorable in promoting the development of the lungs' qi, resulting in nasal orifices not being able to get through, and the nose is congested. In "Su Wen Xuan Ji Yuan Disease Style", it is said that "congested nose, out of the clear snot", congested nose is a disease term in Chinese medicine, which corresponds to the symptoms of allergic rhinitis.
  • The symptom description of allergic rhinitis can be traced back to the earliest Chinese medical treatments monograph "Typhoid Miscellaneous Diseases" written in the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the solar stroke evidence of Ying-wei disharmony, there is "stingy cold ...... nasal ringing and dry vomiting" symptom description, where nasal ringing is the sound made by repeatedly blowing the nose. The sound of nasal ringing is the chirping sound made by blowing the nose repeatedly, and dry heaving is the throat discomfort and nausea caused by allergic conditions. The so-called solar disease refers to the foot solar bladder meridian that travels on the surface of the human skin and body to feel the external wind and cold evil qi, so that the yang qi that protects the human body from the outside of the blood veins is damaged, and this yang qi is the same as defending the human body's skin pores are opened by the wind and evil, and the fluid inside the blood veins seeps out and leads to the lack of blood, and the external yang qi is called "wei qi," and the internal blood is called "camp blood. The external Yang Qi is called "Wei Qi" and the internal blood is called "Ying Blood", and the two are out of balance due to the wind and cold, so the situation of Ying-Wei disharmony occurs.
  • To summarize, the external factors of allergic rhinitis in Chinese medicine can be determined as the external wind-cold evil qi and dirty environment (dust, pollen), the internal factor is that their own Weiqi has lost the ability to defend the lungs, the spleen, the kidneys and other visceral disorders do not have the ability to declare the release of the dissemination of Weiqi, so that the wind-cold can be invasive and lead to disease.

When the right qi is inside, the evil can't be dried up, and when the evil is inside, its qi will be weak - Huang Di Nei Jing (Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine)

  • The lack of human yang is the basis for the development of allergic rhinitis, which is similar to the immune dysfunction of modern medicine, especially the loss of Wei Yang Qi that patrols the body surface, so that the function of defending the human body against wind-cold attacks decreases, inducing the onset of the disease. Surface Wei Qi is generated in the kidneys, kidney Yang is the root of Wei Yang, Wei Qi is nourished in the spleen and stomach, the spleen and stomach transport diet to produce the essence of qi and blood, a steady stream of nourishment Wei Qi, the lungs are the main propagation of Wei Qi, the spleen rises Wei Qi to the lungs after the lungs are the main skin, lungs are the main skin, lungs are propagated in the whole body, the defense of the human body, warming the skin.
  • The most common causes of yang deficiency in the lungs, spleen, stomach, and kidneys are listed below:
  • ①Living in a cold environment (air-conditioning disease) or eating a cold diet (excessive consumption of cold beverages) damages the lung qi, affecting the lung qi to promote Wei qi, the surface of the body loses the protection of Wei qi and is unusually sensitive to wind and cold, and the lung opens the orifices to the nose, resulting in nasal obstruction and sneezing and sniffling.

Cold form and cold drink injure the lungs - Huangdi Neijing

  • ② congenital endowment abnormalities, mostly seen in children's allergic rhinitis, mostly parents have special allergies, children endowed with allergic body, this situation is mostly congenital kidney qi insufficiency, easy to allergic reactions to all kinds of sensitive substances. It is worth noting that, in addition to allergic rhinitis, congenital endowment insufficiency is also prone to drug allergies, urticaria and bronchial asthma and other hypersensitivity reactions.

Kidneys are yawns and sneezes - Huangdi Neijing - Suwen

  • ③Irregular diet, excessive thinking, and disordered work and rest lead to damage to the spleen and stomach, and the spleen qi does not rise to nourish the wei qi, so that the wei qi cannot rise to the lungs and spread throughout the body, and the wei qi on the surface of the body is insufficient, so that the body is vulnerable to attack by external evils. Insufficient source of qi and blood leads to deficiency of Ying and blood, which can lead to the formation of Ying-Wei disharmony syndrome. Stomach is the main pass down, stomach qi is weak, pass down power is weakened, the lung in addition to the propagation of Wei qi, its own main purging qi, down to the kidneys, the main atmospheric fall in the fall, the lung qi and the fall, stomach qi and the fall is the main access and power of the lung qi pass down, stomach qi is weak, the lung qi can not fall, the lung qi closed to the propagation of Wei qi function is further impaired, therefore, Chinese medicine believes thatFall is a common season for the onset of this disease.

Lung qi passes through the nose, and its organs, if cold, multiply with the qi in the nose, so that the fluid and turbid snot can not be collected by themselves - Taiping Shenghui Fang

★Common Chinese medicine patterns of allergic rhinitis

  • According to the etiological classification of allergic rhinitis, clinically, the symptomatic manifestations and triggering factors of the disease can be summarized as follows:
  • Weak lung qi: manifested in the fall when the weather turns cold or cold nose itch, severe throat, eyes, ears are itchy performance, itchy performance is mainly lung qi deficiency, weak body surface guard qi, easy to feel the wind, the "Nei Jing" said "the wind is moving", moving is itchy. Nasal discharge, tears, throat discomfort, sneezing after cold, because the lung gas is the main organs to promote the development of Weiqi, lung gas deficiency after Weiqi insufficient, can not support the warmth of the skin, the performance of the body is afraid of the cold, the face of white, sweating and afraid of the wind, shortness of breath, chest tightness, lack of mental aggravation, activity, pale tongue and pulse is weak.

Self-sweating with deficiency of the surface. Sweating and evil wind, pale face, pale tongue, thin white moss, floating and weak pulse. It is also used for treating the weakness of the coupling between the skin and the skin, which makes the person susceptible to the wind--Medical Formulas Analogical Gathering.

  • ② spleen weakness, stomach weakness, camp and guard incompatibility: similar to the weakness of lung qi, sneezing to sneeze mainly, recurrent, obvious in spring and autumn, snot to clear snot, individual patients due to stomach qi weakness, followed by lung qi does not fall, lung qi is closed, qi is a fire, fire is boiled after the fluid, yellow snot can be formed, the spleen and stomach is a source of qi and blood, spleen weakness, insufficient guard qi, guard qi regulating the pore opening and closing to defend against the evil wind and cold, wind evil When the wind attacks the guard qi, the pores open excessively, forming self-sweating, headache, and the fluid seeps out through the pores, coupled with insufficient source of fluid and blood produced by the spleen and stomach transporting food and drink, making the blood deficient, manifesting as lack of energy, fear of wind, and a slow pulse, which together are the basic manifestations of the camp and guard disharmony syndrome. Weakness of the spleen and stomach is often accompanied by gastrointestinal symptoms such as poor appetite, loose stools and bloating.
  • ③ Weakness of kidney qi: kidney qi deficiency is mostly innate endowment deficiency of special allergic body, mostly in the body of timid young people, to sneeze and sneeze in the nose, fatigue, face white, frequent urination, cold hands and feet, tongue pale pulse sinking weak, kidney yang qi insufficiency, the patient is particularly sensitive to the cold environment, the slightest wind-cold stimulation will appear constantly sneezing, sneezing, nasal discharge, because of the cold collects the attraction, so the dryness of the nasal mucous membrane more than a pale white color. Individuals can be secondary to urticaria, bronchial asthma and so on.

★ Summary and recommendations

Allergic rhinitis is called "congested nose" in Chinese medicine. According to the etiology of Chinese medicine, people suffering from this disease should pay attention to reduce exposure to air pollution, such as hazy weather or dusty environment can wear masks, and try not to long-term activities in the air-conditioned room. Patients with weak spleen and stomach should pay attention to the dietary aspect of not using excessive cold food, so as not to aggravate the problem of insufficient Wei Qi, resulting in aggravation of the disease. The allergic body with abnormal congenital endowment should participate in outdoor exercise appropriately to enhance physical fitness. Keeping a relaxed mood is also the key to regulating the normal operation of qi and blood.

Severe allergic rhinitis should be treated on an individual basis.If you find repeated and persistent sneezing and sniffling, lasting more than a week or more, you should go to a regular hospital for a clear diagnosis, do not mistake it for a cold, and do not misuse the medication and miss the point.

Lastly, I hope my answer was helpful!

Allergic rhinitis type is more, long-term rhinitis is more complex, clinical treatment often need two, three-party combination, at the same time according to the cold and heat, the real surface, where the different organs and meridians to choose the corresponding prescription, adjust the dosage ratio of each drug, and in the effective under the premise of the appropriate prolongation of the medication time, generally most can achieve the effect of complete cure.

Please use the medication according to your own situation and under the guidance of a TCM practitioner.

Thanks for reading and following me. If you have any questions about rhinitis, you can find me in the background to chat more.

Allergic rhinitis has always been a tricky disease in modern medicine, and there is no effective medicine to cure it. Patients often show sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion and other symptoms, and it is difficult to be cured for a long time. The author combined with Mr. Xu Shu's experience and some of his own experience in the clinic, to make a small analysis.

The Six Meridians and the Five Viscera

  • From the dialectic of the six meridians, the nasal cavity is the land of yangming and sun, and Mr. Xu Shu believes that the treatment of allergic rhinitis is appropriate to open the sun and lower the yangming. In children, sun disease, sun-yang-ming syndromes and sun-taiyin syndromes are common, while in adults, ether and lesser senses are common. The author has not encountered any children in the clinic, but found that it is not uncommon to find sun-taiyin syndrome in adults.
  • Analyzed from the five organs, it is mainly related to the lungs, spleen and kidneys. The lungs are responsible for regulating water channels, the spleen is responsible for transporting water and dampness, and the kidneys are responsible for the five liquids. Lung is the standard, lung qi deficiency, cold and wind. Long-term disease and kidney, kidney is the root. Nasal discharge is water-drinking and nasal itching is wind. Therefore, the symptoms are in the lungs, but often the spleen and kidneys, especially the kidneys, should not be neglected in the treatment process. Especially in the chronic phase of the treatment, it is more important to focus on starting from the kidney.

use drugs according to the evidence (idiom); to recognize and apply medication according to the facts

  • Solar manifestations, mostly white face, neck discomfort, dry stools, white tongue, floating stringy pulse, use Ge Ge Tang to add subtractions.
  • In Sun-Taiyin Syndrome, most people see yellowish color, weakness, poor appetite, loose stools, pale white tongue and weak pulse, use tonifying the middle and benefiting the qi soup with additional subtractions.
  • Taishao two senses evidence, mostly encounter cold air, air conditioning, odor sensitivity good hair, sometimes back pain, pale tongue, thin moss, weak pulse, with ephedra and epiphyllum fine Xin Tang plus subtractions.

clinical situation

In clinical practice, patients are often complex and do not get sick according to the symptoms above, so there are often many variables in prescribing medication. The same disease, may be due to the patient's physical factors, lifestyle factors, dietary factors, such as dialectical focus. The author has treated some allergic rhinitis, the effect is okay. One of the cases is very interesting, a husband and wife are both rhinitis, the wife manifested for the sun table evidence, with the Ge Ge Gen Tang plus reduction of 1 paid to see the effect of 3 paid to obvious improvement. Husband manifested as too little two sense evidence, with the ephedra and fine Xin Tang plus reduction, also 1 payment to see the effect of improvement. Therefore, if you use a single-minded approach to the dialectic of rhinitis, there will be no effect.

Simple Daily Health Care

  • Try to avoid allergies such as pollen, animal hair, and house dust mites.
  • Eat fewer cold foods, such as cold drinks, ice cream, and bitter melon.
  • You should not stay in air-conditioned rooms for a long time and avoid direct fan blowing.

Allergic rhinitis should be prevented and treated as early as possible, and if you find symptoms of allergic rhinitis, you should go to regular hospital outpatient clinic for clarification and timely treatment. Otherwise, it will seriously affect the daily work and life.

Allergic rhinitis?

Allergic rhinitis is characterized by itchy nose, sneezing and runny nose.

Western medicine pretty much focuses on treating the disease with antihistamines. After taking the medicine can have effect, but after stopping the medicine can not be used for a few days, and then repeated, so Western medicine for this disease, almost no good treatment.

So how does TCM look at allergic rhinitis?

Before we talk about rhinitis, let's talk about Chinese medicine related to rhinitis.


When positive qi is stored inside, evil can not be dried up, and when evil comes together, its qi will be weak.

According to Chinese medicine, when positive energy is stored in the body, the evil can not be dried, which means that the body's yang qi is sufficient, then the disease can not invade the human body.

What is qi and why does it protect against external evils that attack the body?

According to Chinese medicine, qi is one of the most basic substances that make up and sustain the human body.

Gas is like electricity as we know it. Think about it, what would happen in our daily life if there was no more electricity? TVs, computers, and all other electrical appliances would not work.

Our internal organs, limbs and bones, the brain can work properly, the prerequisite is that there must be sufficient gas in the body.

Our breathing, brain thinking, the heart can beat normally, internal organs play a normal function, our day long work movement, etc., must have sufficient gas.

The functions of qi are, defense, gasification, consolidation, warmth, nutrition and promotion.

Look at the function of the lower qi, so it is said that when positive qi is stored inside, evil cannot be interfered with.


Functions of the lungs.

The five elements of the lungs, the main gold, the four seasons of the main autumn, the lungs, the main fur, the opening of the orifices in the nose, the main gas, the Division of respiration, the main Xuanfa Sushitiao, to help the heart blood, the main section of the main treatment, the main line of the water, the waterway through the strip, the lungs are the source of the water, the lungs for the huagai, for the delicate organs.

Lungs open the orifices in the nose, that is to say, through the nose, you can know how the function of the lungs, so most of the problems with the nose from the lung theory of treatment.

From the above functions of the lungs

1. The lungs are Hua Gui, which means that the lungs are responsible for defense

Lung main fur, open orifices in the nose, Division of respiration, which are in direct contact with the outside world, the disease invades the human body, many from the fur, the nose into the human body, or why wear a mask can prevent the new crown virus ah.

Lungs for the delicate organ, this is the most important point, because the lungs are delicate, can not stand a little disease and evil gas, so when the disease and evil, attacking the body, the lungs can be sensed in time, so as to mobilize the body's qi, the enemy in the country outside the door.

If the lung's defense function declines, the lungs are not so sensitive, when there is a disease and evil invasion of the human body, are not at all reactive, as undefended as the country's gates, such a worrying physique ah.

2. The main governing section, the main line of water, through the strip of watercourse, the lung is the source of water above the source

As we all know, Sanjiang originates from Qinghai Province, and that average altitude is around three to four thousand meters.

Lung in the five organs, the highest position, the five elements of the main gold, gold said from the leather

Lung, governance regulates the body's water and liquid operation, to ensure the smoothness of the waterways, is the body's water origin, when the patient has a urinary inaccessibility, can be selected to promote the lungs of the way to treat, the effect is very good, of course, in the dialectical premise, not all of the unfavorable urination should be to promote the lungs, this point we must understand.

However, if the function of the lungs declines, the circulation of water in the body will be impaired, and then phlegm-dampness will be formed, hindering the operation of water, which is also the reason for rhinitis, sinusitis, clear and cloudy runny nose.

3. Promoting and purging is a high generalization of the function of the lungs.

Lung qi to descend for the smooth, for example, coughing is the performance of lung qi does not descend, cold and flu, the whole body pain, nasal congestion, not ventilation, is the lung qi is not declared.


Functions of the Spleen

The spleen is the source of qi and blood biochemistry, and is the source of phlegm and dampness. The spleen is the source of phlegm production and the lungs are the vessels for storing phlegm.

When a person's qi and blood are sufficient, his or her body will be strong.

The five elements of the spleen are earth and the five elements of the lungs are gold, and the five elements are mutually reinforcing, with earth giving birth to gold, which means that the spleen is the mother of the lungs, and when a child has a problem, it can treat the mother.

If one has been sick for a long time, one's physique has declined and one's qi and blood are insufficient, so one should be given to replenish the qi and strengthen the spleen, and when the qi is sufficient, the disease will naturally be cured.

Lung is gold, kidney is water, gold produces water, lung disease for a long time, the lung is weak, then the kidney will also be weak.

How Chinese medicine practitioners view allergic rhinitis

When a person catches a cold, because of the loss of treatment, mis-treatment, so that the disease is not completely discharged from the body, but latent in the body, the disease in the body, the body's gas and the disease, the fight to wear down, after a long time, so that the body's righteousness is deficient.

Lung main qi, Division of respiration, because the lung qi has been weak, the defense ability to decline, so when people even change the environment, there will be sneezing, runny nose, and other symptoms, such as encountering cold air, dust, etc., because the lungs for the delicate organs.

After a long illness, the son tires out his mother, so in the end there is a deficiency of both the lungs and the spleen.


How Chinese medicine treats allergic rhinitis

When positive energy is stored inside, evil cannot be dried up, and when evil comes together, its gas will be weak.

Therefore increasing the lung's defense ability is the first priority, and we can consider adding and subtracting with Jade Ping Feng San.

If the weakness of spleen qi is accompanied by more phlegm-dampness, which affects the purging and descending function of the lung qi, because the spleen is the source of phlegm-dampness and the lungs are the storage of phlegm, you can choose Xiangsha Liujunzi Tang with additional subtractions.

If there is much phlegm-dampness without symptoms of spleen deficiency, it should be that the function of the lungs to pass through the watercourses has declined, affecting the lungs' propagation and purging, and then Xiaoqinglongtang can be used with additional subtractions.

Of course, suffering from allergic rhinitis Western medicine is unable to help, the effect of traditional Chinese medicine is still good, it is best to find a local Chinese medicine practitioner, through the Chinese medicine diagnosis in the precise use of drugs.


How to prevent allergic rhinitis

(i), to keep warm and prevent cold, their own body situation they know best, so dress up, to their own according to the weather plus or minus clothing, do not look at others.

(ii), diet should pay attention to, do not eat cold diet, such as cold beer, fresh milk, seafood, etc., long illness spleen deficiency, so avoid cold diet, fish fire meat produces phlegm, so it is still a light and nutritious diet, such as millet porridge.

(iii) Early to bed and early to rise is good for the body, and early to bed is the best way to restore the body.

(iv) Make proper exercise in the morning, and do not exercise in the evening; at most, go for a slow walk.

Well, that's a lot of vernacular, and I welcome you all to like and follow.

The lungs will probably need to be diagnosed.

All nose problems have their roots in the spleen.

On the surface of the nose, the actual problem is a problem of the lungs; and the mother of the lung gold is the spleen and earth, cultivate the earth to produce gold, only to nourish the spleen and stomach, the lung qi is sufficient, rhinitis can be good~

Cured quite a few. Removed the root cause.

How does Chinese medicine look? If I were to be honest: Chinese medicine can only be looked at. When it comes to treating allergies, ten doses of Chinese medicine are not as good as one pill of Western medicine.

Chinese medicine sees allergic rhinitis as an external evil. It is the failure of the body's yin and yang to balance. It is caused by the invasion of external evil into the body.

So the most fundamental treatment starts with the balance of yin and yang in the person himself. With this idea, the state of the five organs and six bowels is carefully adjusted, and modern medicine can also be referred to check the allergens for adjustment. This treatment has not lost the essence of Chinese medicine. It is much more reasonable than the so-called Western medical treatment that treats the headache and the foot when there is a headache.

It should be noted that Chinese medicine is concerned with the balance of the five organs and six bowels, San Jiao balance, check allergens is the use of developmental vision and means to establish the principle of the formation of rhinitis. Then determine the adjustment of the liver, gallbladder, spleen, stomach and kidney. Overall, it is still the idea of Chinese medicine.

Allergic rhinitis is actually an imbalance of yin and yang, with weak weiyang! I have been able to regulate my own and my children's allergic rhinitis through Chinese medicine.
