Today's winter solstice, first wish everyone a happy winter solstice ~
According to the traditional solar terms, once the winter solstice has passed, it means that the day is more likely to be cold, many friends with allergic rhinitis can be careful, once the weather becomes cold, nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing... Estimates are more severe
Speaking of rhinitis, everyone may be familiar with it, because this disease is so common
According to statistics, there are currently 300 million rhinitis patients in China, according to our 1.4 billion people, it is equivalent to almost 1 in every 5 people with rhinitis, basically everyone has one or two "rhinitis star people" around them.
If you know these kinds of people, please be sure to treat them kindly, because they are not easy!! Don't believe it
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > symptoms of allergic rhinitis</h1>
The main symptoms of allergic rhinitis are: paroxysmal sneezing, watery nose, nasal congestion and itchy nose. Manifested in:
(1) Sneezing: for reflexive action, a paroxysmal action, ranging from a few, a dozen or dozens.
(2) Runny nose: a large amount of watery nasal discharge, flying down the nose three thousand feet, is a characteristic manifestation of hypersocritical nasal secretion.
(3) Nasal congestion and nasal itching: the severity varies, and it can be unilateral or bilateral.
(4) Decreased sense of smell: due to the obvious edema of the nasal mucosa, there will be a decrease in smell.
These symptoms do not seem to be serious, and there is no danger to life, but the onset is physically and mentally tired, and the serious ones will greatly damage the quality of life, and even sleepless at night because of nasal congestion!
Some people say that this disease is indeed torturous, but as long as it is cured, it will be fine?
Unfortunately, if it is not difficult to control the symptoms in the short term, it is difficult to obtain long-term effects, and many people are difficult to cure repeatedly for a lifetime
So it's a protracted battle
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > to regulate "allergic rhinitis"</h1>
Let's talk about 3 conditioning options
(1) Stay away from allergens
This is the easiest and most brutal way to do it! Since the disease is caused by an allergen, we are done without touching it.
However, the causes of allergic rhinitis are many and varied, dust mites, pollen, mold, animal hair... Various particles in life can become allergens
It is recommended that those who need to go to the hospital to check the allergens
In life, you can often remove mites, remove mold, stay away from pets, nasal irrigation/use of mucosal blockers, etc
When you go out, you can wear a mask, on the one hand, you can block the allergens in the air, on the other hand, you can exhale the hot air through the mouth, forming a warm current area inside the mask; the warm and moist air flow replaces the cold air inhaled by the nose, forming an inner circulation full of love.
Of course, it's also easier to smell your bad breath...
(2) External smoking of traditional Chinese medicine
Allergic rhinitis, especially the type of allergy to cold air, from the perspective of Traditional Chinese medicine, is mostly caused by cold lungs and stomach.
In the case of weakness of lung qi and stomach qi, it will make it difficult for you to resist the invasion of cold air, which will irritate the respiratory system.
However, in fact, the most fundamental cause is not in the lungs, but in the spleen and kidneys. Because the essence of the lungs originates from the spleen, and the root of the stomach qi lies in the kidneys
I have shared a very useful Chinese medicine smoking recipe before: 30 grams each of guizhi, white peony and red dates, 15 grams each of licorice and goose, and 6-9 slices of ginger
When the recipe is at its thickest, smoke the nose or forehead with soup immediately, and it will be significantly improved after two to three days
Of course, if you stick to it for about five days without obvious results, it may not be suitable for the formula and your physique
(3) Diet therapy to strengthen the spleen
Chinese medicine external smoking is a palliative method, can help you alleviate for a while, as mentioned above, to fundamentally regulate, you must internally adjust the spleen and kidneys
Why modern people have more and more "rhinitis star people", is because most people love to stay up late, cold and greasy food, but also lazy to exercise, these irregular, unhealthy living habits are the culprits of harming the spleen and stomach
Use diet therapy to nourish the spleen and stomach, then it is the four gods soup that is not allowed.
As a well-known and well-known recipe, Si shen tang has the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach, replenishing the qi and enhancing the resistance. It is mainly composed of four materials: yam, lotus seed, poria and mustard
If you are more afraid of the wind or cold, add 15 grams of astragalus; if you are usually heavy with moisture, add 15-30 grams of coix and red beans
Of course, in addition to dietary therapy, improving our own immunity also requires us to exercise more often.
Although it is very cold in winter, don't forget to move
