Seasonal allergies in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) are seen as more than just a reaction to pollen, they’re a sign that the body’s internal balance and defenses may need support. TCM explains that external factors such as “Wind” combine with underlying imbalances including a weak Lung Qi, deficient Wei Qi, or Liver stagnation. This can make some people more prone to symptoms like congestion, sneezing, and itchy eyes. Acupuncture and lifestyle adjustments aim to address both the root cause and symptoms by strengthening the immune system, reducing inflammation, and supporting overall balance, helping the body respond more smoothly to seasonal changes.
