There is a kind of grievance called "I am allergic"

It is said that people with "allergic constitution" were "angels with broken wings" in their previous life.

The four seasons of ordinary people: when spring comes, go on a spring outing; when summer comes, go to see the sea; when autumn comes, go hiking; when winter comes, go skiing.

The four seasons for people with allergies: Spring is here, and you are allergic to willow catkins, which is dangerous ; summer is here, and you are allergic to ultraviolet rays, which is dangerous ; autumn is here, and you are allergic to the change of seasons, which is dangerous ; winter is here, and you are allergic to cold wind, which is dangerous !

Are you "allergic"? Take a self-test. If you meet more than 3 of the following conditions, you are likely to be "allergic"!

1. Family history of asthma, allergic rhinitis, etc.

2. Frequent symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, nasal congestion and itching, coughing and wheezing

3. Frequent severe skin itching, eczema, urticaria and other skin diseases

4. Discomfort during season changes and cold and hot periods

5. Every time you change skin care or cosmetics, your skin often becomes allergic

6. Every time you perm or dye your hair, the dye will come into contact with your scalp and cause a rash

7. Frequent diarrhea, abdominal pain and other abdominal discomforts without any other cause

However, not allergies mean "allergic constitution". In fact, there is no clear definition of "allergic constitution" in medicine. The so-called "allergic constitution" refers more to:

1. People who are prone to recurrent allergies

2. People who are allergic to a single substance or multiple allergens

3. People with allergic diseases (such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, urticaria, eczema, etc.)

Regarding allergies, many people believe that in order to avoid allergic reactions, they must avoid all allergens, but allergens are everywhere, ever-changing, and difficult to guard against, so this is obviously difficult to achieve.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, allergens are the external causes of disease, and one's own physical constitution is the internal factor that leads to allergic reactions.

Therefore, in addition to staying away from allergens as much as possible, the key is to fundamentally support the positive energy and improve the physical condition, so that there will be enough energy to eliminate the evil spirits and prevent the occurrence of allergic diseases .

1. Diet adjustment

The diet should be light and balanced, with a reasonable combination of meat and vegetables. Eat less shrimp, crab, chili, strong tea, coffee and fishy and smelly foods. Eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and stomach, and replenish qi and strengthen the exterior.

2. Exercise conditioning

Proper exercise can promote metabolism, improve immunity, and greatly help improve allergic constitution. It is recommended to choose some gentle exercises, such as jogging, Tai Chi, etc., and pay attention to wind protection and warmth during exercise.

3. Daily life adjustment

Take good personal protection, avoid contact with allergens, pay attention to personal hygiene, wash hands frequently, and change clothes frequently. Pay attention to indoor ventilation, keep the room clean, and wash and dry bedding and sheets frequently to prevent allergies to dust mites.

4. Emotional regulation

People with allergic constitutions are prone to tension, anxiety, sensitivity, etc. Correctly view your own physical characteristics, actively seek ways to improve allergy problems, and maintain a positive attitude towards life.

5. Chinese medicine conditioning

During the onset of allergic diseases, treatment should be based on syndrome differentiation, with elimination of pathogenic factors as the main approach and strengthening of the body as the auxiliary approach; during the remission period, the concept of "preventive treatment" should be followed, with strengthening of the body as the main approach and elimination of pathogenic factors as the auxiliary approach, and the principle of "invigorating Qi and strengthening the exterior, nourishing blood and eliminating wind" should be adopted, with emphasis on regulating the lungs, spleen, and kidneys.

6. Appropriate technical intervention of traditional Chinese medicine:

Appropriate Chinese medicine techniques such as ear acupoint pressure beans, acupoint plastering, and moxibustion can be used for conditioning intervention.

Experts remind: Allergies are not a trivial matter. Knowing more about allergies can reduce the occurrence of allergies. If allergic symptoms occur, please seek medical attention immediately.
