☯️ TCM also has a few tips to offer

Traditional Chinese medicine says that hay fever symptoms originate from a stagnation of metabolism in the head. There are traffic jams. The traffic jam creates slagging in the head. The trigger for this congestion is the pollen that reaches the body through the wind.

There must be a susceptibility to stagnation in the body.

In addition, there must be an immune deficiency, otherwise the pollen would not enter the body but could be successfully repelled.

The origin of the immune system lies in the kidneys. If the kidney strength is sufficient, then the person has a good constitution and a good immune system. The immune system is replenished by nutrition.

In addition, the body receives additional support through breathing (lungs). This is also responsible for the distribution of the immune system on the surface and skin.

The immune system can be strengthened through diet.

• The Reishi mushroom

This medicinal mushroom has been used in TCM for centuries due to its immune-modulating and adaptogenic properties.

The Reishi can stabilize the mast cells through its triterpenes and reduce the body's release of the hormone histamine. This is responsible for swelling, redness and itching.

Polysaccharides and antioxidants can help quickly relieve hay fever reactions.

• The almond mushroom

Polysaccharides in a uniquely high concentration can also be found in the Agaricus Blazei Murrill (also known as ABM or almond mushroom) . The beta-glucans contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system.

As a “biological response modifier” BRM, it regulates the immune system; If you have a tendency to overreact, it slows down the immune reaction or strengthens it - depending on your individual constitution.

• Hedgehogbeard - the Hericium mushroom

In order to support the intestines, whose mucous membrane is an essential part of the immune system, the use of hedgehog beard - Hericium - can also make sense. It regenerates and soothes the mucous membrane cells of the intestine.

Acupuncture can also be a great help for the eyes and nose.

So: here’s to a pain-free spring!
