At present, it is the high incidence season of allergic rhinitis, friends with rhinitis around have begun to live a fiery life, in this issue we invited Dr. Feng Quanling, director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Peking University People's Hospital, to share a few ideas for the treatment of rhinitis in Traditional Chinese medicine, let's see how Chinese medicine deals with allergic rhinitis!
Traditional Chinese medicine treats rhinitis and pays attention to dialectical treatment
Rhinitis belongs to the category of "rhinitis" in Chinese medicine. In the view of Traditional Chinese medicine, its standard is in the lungs, its origin is in the spleen and kidneys, most of them are caused by weakness of the internal organs, insufficient righteous qi, non-solidity outside the guard, wind and cold evil qi taking advantage of the void, cold bundle muscle surface, Yang Qi must not be vented, and the nasal trick is disturbed. The weakened organs involve the lungs, spleen and kidneys, and there are fewer single organs.
Director Feng said that for the treatment of rhinitis, TCM treatment has its own characteristics, and its core concept is dialectical treatment. According to the diagnosis of rhinitis in Western medicine, according to the duration of its attack, it is divided into acute rhinitis and chronic rhinitis, and from the classification point of view, there are allergic rhinitis, there is rhinitis vulgaris, sinusitis. Their clinical manifestations are completely different, and the treatment methods of TCM are also different.
The high incidence of allergic rhinitis in spring should not only be treated dialectically, but also know how to "cure the disease"
Now that spring is coming, entering the allergy season, allergic rhinitis is more common, especially exogenous allergic rhinitis. Director Feng explained that for exogenous allergic rhinitis, the most important manifestation is sneezing, running watery nose, and some people will be accompanied by itchy throat, itchy ear, itchy nose, itchy throat, or further develop into cough, or asthma.
According to the symptom characteristics of these allergic rhinitis, they are often divided into two main categories clinically:

The main symptom is a runny nose. Generally, xiaoqinglong soup or xiaoqinglong plus gypsum soup will be used, the main ingredients: ephedra, peony, fine spices, burning licorice, dried ginger, cinnamon sticks, schisandra, half summer. It is also possible to use formulas such as ephedra soup to add or subtract, the main purpose is to disperse cold drinks.
Deficiency of lung qi:
For some people with clear allergens, easy to catch colds, shortness of breath, fatigue and weakness, and sweating more, most of them are deficient in lung qi, and the treatment principle is mainly based on yiqi and solid health. You can use jade screen particles or jade screen wind scatter, the main ingredients are astragalus, white art, windproof, although it only contains three flavors of medicine, but it can be very good to strengthen the qi and prevent sweat.
For allergies can also be used allergy frying, which is also an anti-sensitive god formula, such as adding or subtracting allergy frying to jade screen particles, etc., if accompanied by cough, you can also use anti-coughing, the key is to choose different drugs according to different people's physique, different clinical manifestations. Director Feng also stressed that Chinese medicine talks about the treatment of diseases, and it is best to prevent allergic rhinitis patients in advance, and take targeted drugs when they are not sick.
Acupuncture, patches, nasal baths, and simple acupressure massages are also miraculous
In addition to drug treatment, Chinese medicine also has characteristics in non-drug treatment, such as the familiar acupuncture, Director Feng said, about acupuncture treatment of rhinitis, there have been many reports in the international community, acupuncture for allergic rhinitis effect is very good.
In addition, the treatment of small needle knives under ultrasound guidance can also be directly reached the ward. Director Feng also recommends that patients with allergic rhinitis can use nasal lotion, she often gives patients to use, such as Xinyi, Cang Erzi, Bai Zhi, mint, boiled after cooking for five or six minutes, and then smoke the nose, the effect is also very good, you can try.
There are also some acupuncture point patches, such as some xintongwen drugs, which are attached to the back of the lungs, spleen and kidneys, and the effect is also very good, especially in the three-volt day. Usually doing some massage by yourself is also a good way, you can first rub your hands hot, rub your cheeks along the cheeks, and then tap some acupuncture points, such as Yingxiang acupoints, foot acupuncture points, eyebrow arches.
At the same time, you can also use the method of moxibustion, each time smoking for 15 to 20 minutes, moxibustion foot three miles, three yin intercourse, are a good way to prevent or treat.
