Traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture have been used for centuries to acclimate the human body to seasonal changes. At the most basic level of Chinese medical theory, if our bodies are out of whack—out of balance—then we are more susceptible to “outside invaders.” We are less able to adapt to allergens. Our body, rather than letting it go, reacts with inflammation and copious amounts of snot.  Allergy relief in Portland, Maine is as easy as calling (207) 774-6251
At a deeper level, susceptibility to allergies, according to chinese medicine, often begins with a weakness in the lungs. The lungs in Chinese medicine produce what is called “wei qi” or defensive qi. Defensive qi protects us from external irritants like allergens, viruses and bacteria. As we know, wind carries many allergens to our mouths and noses and into our bodies. Wind and wind-borne irritants are less invasive and harmful if our defensive qi is strong. If our bodies are unable to adapt and over respond, we have an allergic response: mucous, runny nose, itching, cough, asthma and so on.
