Allergies and asthma are common in autumn and winter. Since allergies and asthma are not easy to cure, modern medicine can only control the disease with steroids, but long-term use can cause adverse side effects such as moon face, buffalo shoulder and osteoporosis, leaving patients in a dilemma. Chinese medicine practitioners suggest that in the early stage of allergy and asthma, before they become so serious that steroids are needed, patients can receive Chinese medicine to regulate their body constitution, replenish kidney energy, and rebuild the liver with good nutrition and gasification. This reduces the worsening of the disease and the treatment dilemma associated with the use of steroids.
The cold air in autumn and winter can easily cause swelling of the nasal mucosa and constriction of the bronchial tubes, resulting in allergies and asthma. Western medicine practitioners generally believe that lung problems are the cause of allergies and asthma. However, Chinese medicine practitioners point out that the root causes of allergies and asthma are located in the stomach, intestines and liver, while the lungs and kidneys are both innate and acquired. Insufficient kidney qi will affect lung capacity. In order to improve allergies and asthma, we should not only look at the lungs, but also treat these areas.
Chinese medicine doctor Sheng-Pu Lee said that he has observed many allergy and asthma patients, and the common feature of these people is that they feel stuffy and can’t dissipate their heat. In particular, asthmatic children, sleep often because the body is afraid of heat and unconsciously kick the blanket, the result of the trachea nose afraid of cold, the middle of the night began to appear nasal congestion and coughing, the formation of asthma in the long run.
The main reason why the body can’t change its oppressive heat is because the body can’t adapt to changes in the external temperature, which is a sign of abnormal health. These people are often afraid of heat and do not feel cold, but when they encounter cold air, they will cough and sneeze and have asthma attacks, but as long as the arms or neck, which are susceptible to cold, are enclosed and kept warm, the symptoms of allergy and asthma will be relieved immediately.

Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee mentioned that the accumulation of heat in the body but can not be dissipated properly, mainly because the body’s heat vaporization cycle is not normal, there may be two reasons, the kidney Qi deficiency and liver nutrient vaporization dysfunction. The direction of action of Qi in the human body is the opposite of gravity, is to disperse upward, once the bottom of the kidney Qi is insufficient, the heat can not be fully gasification, will affect the spleen and stomach, heart and lung Qi, the epidermis can not sweat properly to disperse heat, a large amount of heat does not accumulate properly in the body, the result will cause the body to accumulate heat, stuffy.
Another reason that causes the heat in the body can not be dissipated, that is, the liver nutrient gasification ability is poor, can not convert the nutrients in the blood into a form that can be easily absorbed by the human body, the blood vessels are filled with incomplete combustion of heat, then the formation of wet heat body, in addition to leading to obesity, but also to the internal organs into fat, the accumulation of heat.
People with dysfunctional liver nutrition and gasification, even if they eat three nutritious meals, the body can not be effectively absorbed and utilized, so the physical strength becomes poor, a little exercise will be wheezing, and the breath will not catch, the excess nutrients that can not be burned off, hoarded in the body to cause obesity, the accumulated heat of fat, if gasification, will resist wind and cold.
Patients with allergies and asthma also need to adjust their lifestyle habits while receiving Chinese medicine to regulate their physique. Since the liver of these patients is less able to break down nutrients, it is best to choose ingredients that can be easily digested and absorbed, and to avoid cold foods and ice, and to take a balanced intake of fish and vegetables. In addition, as fruits are mostly cold, so eat more vegetables than more fruits to come better, and fruits are recommended to eat after a period of time after the meal.
Some allergy and asthma patients like to soak in hot springs and hot water to promote sweating, but Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee does not encourage it, because the human epidermis soaked in hot water, easy to lose the ability to adapt to the surrounding temperature regulation, rather than through meditation and exercise and other active promotion of internal heat combustion and sweating, to improve the body’s health is more helpful.
