☯️ TCM also has a few tips to offer

Traditional Chinese Medicine says that hay fever symptoms originate from a stagnation of the metabolism in the head. There is congestion. The congestion creates a slag 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 get into the body, but could be successfully repelled.

The origin of the immune system is 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 from 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 nutrition.

• 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 with its triterpenes and reduce the endogenous release of the hormone histamine. This is responsible for swelling, redness and itching.

Polysaccharides and antioxidants can help to quickly relieve hay fever reactions.

• The Almond Mushroom

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

As a "biological response modifier" BRM, it regulates the immune system; if there is a tendency to overreact, it slows down the immune reaction or strengthens it - depending on the individual constitution

• Hedgehog's Mane - the Hericium Mushroom

In order to also support the intestines, the mucous membrane of which contains an essential part of the immune system, it can also make sense to use hedgehog's mane - Hericium. It regenerates and soothes the intestinal mucosal cells.

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

So: Here's to a symptom-free spring time!
