▶ What are the common symptoms of skin allergies?
Common skin allergy symptoms include, but are not limited to, skin rash, itching, peeling, eczema, and hives. These symptoms may be triggered by exposure to pollen, certain cosmetics, medications, or food.
▶ Why is spring the time when skin allergies are high?
In spring, the climate is warm and humid, and allergens such as pollen and dust mites are active, which are common causes of allergic diseases.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, spring belongs to the "wood", which corresponds to the liver, and the liver is mainly drained, and its characteristic is to rise and grow, but if the liver qi is uncomfortable, it will lead to stagnation, which will affect the transportation function of the spleen and stomach, resulting in dampness stagnation, phlegm coagulation and other endogenous five evils, thereby inducing or aggravating skin allergy symptoms.
