At Mr. Yu Master Acupuncture & Healthcare, we provide a holistic Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approach to support individuals experiencing Hay fever, also known as allergic rhinitis. Common symptoms include sneezing, runny or blocked nose, itchy eyes, nasal congestion, post-nasal drip, headache, fatigue, and sinus pressure, often triggered by pollen, dust, or seasonal changes.
From a TCM perspective, hay fever is closely linked to Weak defensive Qi (Wei Qi), particularly involving the Lung, Spleen, and Kidney systems. When the body's resistance is reduced, external allergens are more likely to disturb the nasal passages and immune response. By strengthening the body's defense and improving internal balance, TCM helps reduce sensitivity and support long-term symptom control.
