How can we find out what we are allergic to?

Endowment is commonly known as the allergic body, the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2009 promulgated the “classification and determination of Chinese medicine physique” put forward the Chinese medicine physique of nine basic types and characteristics, including endowment, to determine whether the endowment can be judged from the following aspects: (1) you do not have a cold will also sneeze? (1) Do you sneeze even when you don’t have a cold? (2) Do you have a stuffy and runny nose even when you don’t have a cold? (3) Do you cough due to seasonal changes, humidity changes, or odors? (4) Are you prone to allergies (to medicines, foods, odors, pollen or seasonal changes, humidity changes)? (5) Is your skin prone to hives (hives, rashes, bumps)? (6) Does your skin develop purpura (purplish-red petechiae, ecchymosis) due to allergy? (7) Does your skin become red and scratchy when you scratch it? If you have the above symptoms frequently, you are basically considered to be an endowed person. What is endowment? Some people say that I used to be allergic to certain things, but now I am allergic to them. Endowment is closely related to congenital insufficiency, genetic factors, environmental factors, medication factors and so on. Therefore, there are “congenital insufficiency” factors, there are also “acquired malnutrition” factors, congenital insufficiency, such as before the birth of the child, will be inherited from both parents of some of the characteristics, such as parents have allergic rhinitis, the prevalence of allergic diseases in their children is much higher than the normal people, congenital insufficiency is a factor that people can not choose, but also the factors that people can not choose. Factors that people can not choose, while the acquired deficiency can be adjusted, conditioning. The common endowment is prone to allergic rhinitis, asthma, urticaria, wind masses and other diseases, producing symptoms such as itchy nose, sneezing, runny nose, itchy pharynx, cough, itchy eyes, easy to catch a cold and so on. Allergens are mainly divided into two categories: one is the air allergens, common pollen, mites, dust, animal dander, cockroach feces; the other is the food allergens, such as milk, eggs, fish and shrimp, etc., with the development of industry, the intensification of environmental pollution, the suspension of particulate matter (such as dust, smoke, PM10, PM2.5) significantly higher, the quality of the air is not conducive to health, therefore, some experts have proposed the traditional The six elements of disease into seven elements of disease (wind, cold, summer, humidity, dryness, fire, haze), the greatest impact on the human body is the significant increase in the incidence of allergic diseases, and endowed people are particularly susceptible to the onset of allergies, away from allergens to become the first choice of the endowed people. How can we find out what kind of things we are allergic to? The most fundamental health care measures for endowed people is to understand the substances that cause their allergies, one by observation, two by testing, spring full of flowers, pollen flying, such as this climate nasal congestion sneezing episodes, it can be known to pollen allergy; indoor air conditioning open, sneezing frequently, due to air filters full of mites, it can be known to the mites are allergic to, and often cleaning or replacement of air conditioning dust cover or filter to reduce the dust mites can be bred; eating seafood, Fish, shrimp skin itching, rash that can be known to seafood, prawns allergy. Secondly, by testing, at present in the hospital can be allergen skin prick test, or in the blood to detect allergen antibodies can be found allergens. Stay away from allergens: When symptoms occur outdoors, outdoor activities should be limited as much as possible, especially do not contact with flowers and plants, decaying leaves, willow floss, French sycamore fruit hairs, when going out, you can wear a mask (ordinary masks are ineffective, N95 masks are good), while paying close attention to the weather forecast, check the PM2.5 index in a timely manner, if the PM2.5 ≥ 200 for the heavy pollution, outdoor activities should be reduced, wear a mask when you go out! If PM2.5 ≥ 200 for heavy pollution, you should reduce outdoor activities, go out and wear a mask, endowed people should stay indoors, go out and come home in time to take a shower, to remove the body’s allergens will help, while maintaining the humidity of the indoor air, or the use of air humidifiers, so as not to let the nose is too dry. Seasonal allergic rhinitis patients develop in specific seasons. If conditions permit, they should stay away from the area where the disease develops during the onset of the season, and temporarily go to another city where there are fewer allergens to live. People with atopic rhinitis are advised to avoid contact with and feeding pets. Contrary to popular belief, animal hair does not cause allergies, while animal dander, saliva and proteins in urine can cause allergic symptoms, and furless animals such as sea turtles and fish are generally less likely to cause allergies. Endowed people only rely on away from allergens is far from enough, allergens are everywhere and can not be prevented, Chinese medicine often say “positive energy within, the evil can not be dry”. What we need is not only to stay away from allergens but also to regulate the body so that the body can tolerate allergies and reduce allergic reactions. Chinese medicine believes that most of the allergies are related to the deficiency of the lungs and kidneys, and the symptoms of sneezing, sneezing, and easy to catch a cold in people with endowed physique are due to the deficiency of Weiqi, and the insufficiency of lung qi, which can’t resist the external evils, and it is common to use Yupingfengsan and Gui Zhi Tang in clinic to regulate the lungs and guards and to enhance Weiqi’s function, and usually add Astragalus and Radix Astragali and Dangshen into diets especially hot soups to promote qi and improve the quality of the body. The latest version of the National Guidelines for the Clinical Application of Essential Drugs points out that: Yupingfeng granules have the effect of enhancing the immune function of the body and anti-metamorphic reaction, and Yupingfeng san (Yupingfeng granules) is beneficial to qi and solidifying the surface, which is especially suitable for patients with weak constitution, easy to catch a cold, and sweating a lot, especially for children. If the patient is afraid of cold, wears more clothes than normal people, likes to wear socks to bed, sweats at night, has loose stools or more often, and has diarrhea when drinking cold, the spleen is the source of phlegm, the kidney is the foundation of the latter day, the spleen and qi are weak, and the kidney and yang are insufficient, and the child steals the mother’s qi, so it can strengthen the spleen and benefit qi, and replenish the kidney to consolidate the body, and it is commonly used to replenish the middle-aged yiqi soup, ginseng ling and baijiu powder, jin gui kidney qi pill, and right归丸to regulate the spleen and the kidney, and the endowment quality can be improved through the TCM diagnostic treatment. The endowment can be improved through TCM diagnosis and adjustment. People with endowment should pay attention to balanced diet and nutrition, consume less greasy and sweet food and stimulating food, especially for people with mold allergy, some fermented food and condiments should be used sparingly, such as stinky tofu, soy sauce, hot sauce, etc., and consume less geese, shrimps, crabs, wine, chili peppers, and other spicy products, fishy and stinky hair and allergenic substances in the food.
