Allergic rhinitis

Allergic rhinitis in TCM involves Wind and Lung Qi deficiency, sometimes with underlying Kidney patterns in long-standing cases. Both symptomatic relief and preventive off-season strengthening are within scope, and combining both across a year tends to produce the best sustained results.

Symptomatic care during flare seasons combines local points around the sinuses with distal Lung-channel points; herbal formulas provide additional support. Off-season preventive care (fall for winter allergies, winter for spring allergies) builds Lung Qi and often reduces the following season’s severity.
