Symptom 5: Sneezing: Sneezing is frequent and prolonged.
Sneezing is a common physiological phenomenon, and many people have experienced sneezing. Why do people sneeze? Chinese medicine believes there are two conditions.
One is acute sneezing, which occurs when the climate suddenly becomes cool, when the body is cold, or when a cold is prevalent, and mostly occurs at the same time as cold symptoms.
Another condition is sneezing caused by a deficiency of kidney qi. The body’s Wei Qi, the main force to defend against external evil, is rooted in the body’s lower jiao kidney, nourished by the middle jiao spleen, and propagated by the upper jiao lung. If the body’s Kidney Qi is weak, the source of Wei Qi will be insufficient, and less Wei Qi will reach the Lung, the channel for the propagation of Wei Qi, so the Lung will not be able to propagate Wei Qi properly, and sneezing will occur.
Sneezing caused by Kidney Qi deficiency is often frequent and prolonged, accompanied by fatigue, weakness, soreness or pain in the waist and knees, lack of color, fear of cold, and lack of warmth in the hands and feet, and is most common in patients with allergic rhinitis. For sneezing caused by kidney qi deficiency, it is difficult to cure it just by getting rid of the evil. One should tonify the kidneys to strengthen the root, so that the kidneys will be strong, the body will have sufficient guard qi, and the body will have an enhanced ability to resist external evil.
There are two types of kidney deficiency associated with sneezing: kidney yin deficiency evidence and kidney yang deficiency evidence.
