Seasonal alternation of nasal allergic attacks! Traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture can alleviate

Recently, the temperature difference between morning and evening is very large, which coincides with the season change from winter to spring, and the weather is hot and cold. Coupled with the pollen season, many patients with nasal allergies, especially children, have started sneezing and runny noses, and their noses and eyes are seriously itchy. At present, in addition to western medicine to treat nasal allergy, Chinese medicine can also take acupuncture to treat nasal allergy, which is suitable for people who don't like taking medicine.

At present, in addition to western medicine to treat nasal allergy, Chinese medicine can also take acupuncture to treat nasal allergy, which is suitable for people who don't like taking medicine. Guo Weijun, the attending physician of Chinese Medicine Department of Heping Maternal and Child Hospital of Taipei United Hospital, said that changing seasons can cause allergic rhinitis because the winter wind from the mainland is cold and dry, and the southwest wind in summer carries water vapor in the sea. In addition, the rainy season coincides with the alternation of two seasons, and the dry and cold environment meets the hot and humid water vapor, resulting in continuous rainfall. The environment becomes humid and the temperature rises, which constitutes an excellent environment for the growth of allergens, dust mites and molds, and brings nightmares to patients with allergic rhinitis.

Acupoints for treating nasal allergy in traditional Chinese medicine include:

Local acupoint selection: treatment of nasal congestion

(1) Tang Yin point: on the forehead, between the eyebrows.

(2) Xiang Ying point: the nasolabial groove depression near the midpoint of the outer edge of the nose.

Remote acupoint selection: enhancing qi-invigorating immunity

(1) Zusanli: the anterolateral part of the calf, 3 inches below the lateral knee eye (nose of the calf), and a horizontal finger (middle finger) on the lateral front of the tibia, in the middle of tibialis anterior.

(2) The inner court: between the second and third toes of the instep, the depression behind the edge of the webbed toes.

(3) Valley depression: the depression in front of the junction of the 2nd and 3rd metatarsals on the dorsum of the foot.

(4) Hegu: between the back of hand 1 ~ 2 metacarpals, at the radial midpoint of the second metacarpal.

Guo Weijun specially reminded people with nasal allergies that in the process of traditional Chinese medicine treatment, the symptoms are slowly relieved, and it takes a little patience to cooperate with the treatment and strengthen personal living habits to greatly alleviate the symptoms. In addition, nasal allergy is different from cold symptoms, so people should pay special attention, especially parents with children. Please don't confuse a cold with allergic rhinitis.
