There Are Tips To Improve Your Allergic Constitution, Start With Your Living Habits And Dietary Structure

Adapt to the four seasons and take care of your roots: the traditional Chinese medicine natural healing concept for allergic constitution

In traditional health-preserving culture, allergies are often seen as a manifestation of the body's lack of "righteousness" and weak defenses. When evil spirits such as wind, cold, dryness, and heat from the outside invade, the body will react excessively. To improve this state, we do not fight against the symptoms, but rely on systematic care to return the body to balance and harmony. This is a step-by-step process that requires us to obtain natural energy from our daily breathing, diet, and work.

Food therapy first: Use natural ingredients to build immune defense

Diet is the basis for conditioning the body's constitution. Traditional Chinese medicine adheres to the concept of "medicine and food come from the same source", and many natural ingredients themselves are excellent physical conditioning agents. For people who are susceptible to allergies, they should eat more foods that can play a conditioning role. These foods have the effect of strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi, as well as strengthening the surface and protecting the body.

For example, yam has a mild nature and sweet taste. It can not only replenish qi, but also nourish yin. It is a high-quality item that can replenish the spleen and stomach. If the function of the spleen and stomach is strengthened, the biochemistry of qi and blood will have a source, and the body's resistance will naturally increase. You can cook yam with barley and red dates to cook porridge, which can not only remove dampness, but also nourish blood, and is suitable for breakfast for a long time. In addition, astragalus is known as the "holy medicine for replenishing qi". A small amount of it stewed with chicken or ribs can effectively enhance the health qi and enhance the ability to resist external evils. However, it should be noted that it is not suitable for consumption during colds or acute allergies.

Natural foods rich in vitamin C , such as kiwi fruit and broccoli, are also excellent antioxidants and can help the body reduce inflammation. Incorporating these ingredients into your daily meals is gentler and more long-lasting than any supplement.

Herbal tea: daily nourishment, soothing the body and mind

A mild herbal tea, it is a convenient way to recuperate in a busy life. For people with allergies, the power of plants can help calm breathing, relieve symptoms and alleviate sensitivity.

I recommend a drink called Guben Hypoallergenic Tea. Take two ebony plums, a little Schisandra chinensis, three pitted red dates, and a handful of mint leaves. Black plum has the effect of astringing lung qi and producing fluid to quench thirst, which can reduce respiratory discomfort caused by dryness or irritation. Schisandra chinensis has the effect of astringing lung qi and producing fluid and quenching thirst, which can reduce respiratory tract discomfort caused by dryness or irritation. Red dates have a protective effect on qi and blood. Mint can dispel wind and heat and bring a refreshing feeling. This tea has a peaceful nature and a sweet and sour taste. It is suitable for drinking in the afternoon and can help relax tense nerves.

If you notice itching on your skin or mild nasal congestion due to the change of seasons, you can try using perilla leaves and tangerine peel to soak in water. Perilla has the effect of relieving the surface and dispersing cold, and can promote qi and stomach. It has a very good soothing effect on allergies caused by external wind and cold.

Work and rest: adapt to the weather and save life energy

For natural health preservation, it emphasizes "regular daily life". The human body has its own biological clock, which follows the four seasons and the circadian rhythm. This is the foundation of cultivating healthy energy.

In spring, everything is in a state of growth, and this is also the season when allergies are more likely to occur. During this period, in terms of sleep and rest, you should go to bed late and get up early (and go to bed late and get up early compared to winter), and take more walks outdoors, so that the Qi inside the body can stretch along with the Yang Qi of spring. Particular attention needs to be paid to the midday nap, which means that you should go to sleep before 23:00 at night, and take a short rest between 11:00 and 13:00 noon. Getting enough sleep is key for the body to repair itself and the immune system to return to a balanced state. If you stay up late for a long time, your yin blood will be depleted and damaged, which will cause the virtual fire to burn upward, making the symptoms of allergies more serious.

Physical conditioning: from "wind protection" to "strengthening"

According to traditional concepts, the root cause of allergies is that "wind evil" is easy to invade, and "wind is the precursor of all diseases." Therefore, in the details of life, we should pay attention to taking measures to prevent wind and cold and resist the cold. Especially when the seasons alternate and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, protect the Dazhui point on the back of the neck and the navel on the abdomen to prevent direct invasion of wind and cold.

For deeper conditioning, the key is "righting", which can be assisted by simple "daoyin technique" or "meridian massage". For example, after getting up every morning, use dry face washing, first rub your hands to warm them, and then rub the sides of the nose up and down. This can promote the circulation of local blood and blood, thereby improving the resistance of the nasal mucosa. Massaging the Zusanli point also has the effect of strengthening the spleen, stomach and body.

Health preservation in four seasons: seeking harmony with nature

The care of allergic constitution needs to closely follow the changes of the seasons.

In spring and summer, the focus is on maintaining Yang Qi. You can appropriately increase your exposure to sunlight and engage in milder exercises such as walking and Baduanjin, as long as you sweat slightly, and use this to expel the dampness and coldness from the body. In terms of diet, you can add spicy foods such as ginger and green onions to help the rise of yang energy.

In autumn and winter, the focus is on maintaining Yin Qi to achieve the effect of moisturizing and dryness. Eat more white foods such as lotus root, lily, and white fungus, so as to moisten the lungs and clear the intestines. The lungs have the function of controlling the fur. Only when the lung qi reaches a sufficient state can the "Great Wall"-like protection system of the skin and respiratory tract be stable and solid, and can effectively resist allergens from the outside.

Carrying out actions to improve allergic constitution is a journey back to nature and the inner state. With the help of carefully selected natural ingredients, cultivating soothing work and rest habits, and carrying out physical conditioning according to the rhythm of the four seasons, the body's wisdom will gradually activate, and step by step build an inner barrier that is both strong and transparent.
