AS Early spring, also begins the awakening and growth of the Yang energy that manifests itself in the universe. We see the days getting longer, hotter and, in some places, more humid. Seeds germinate, flowers bloom and blossom, and animals mate, adding color to the awakening of life.

According to the Five Element Theory, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water are linked to a season of the year and each element also represents a part of the body, depending on its characteristics, and is linked to a feeling.

Spring is related:

• with the element Wood
• the related organ is the Liver, with the Gallbladder
• the opening occurs through the eyes and controls the tendons
• the most expressive emotion of this season is anger and we expect an increase in irritability, frustrations, dissatisfaction and our lack of control
• the characteristic climatic factor is the wind
• the direction is east
• the color is green
• That’s when everything is born

Why allergies increase in spring

In oriental medicine it is believed that the symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis are caused mainly by the influence of pathogenic wind.

Wind is characterized by symptoms that come on quickly and change rapidly, mainly affecting the upper part of the body and manifesting on the skin and mucous membranes.

From this perspective, those with underlying deficiencies, often in the spleen, kidneys or lungs, are more susceptible to wind penetration or invasion and, therefore, to conditions such as these spring allergies.

Allergy is nothing more than the body’s reaction to a substance that is foreign to it or to which it is excessively hypersensitive. So, when the body comes into contact with the allergen, it develops a series of actions to expel this foreign material.

Therefore, increased Yang energy may prove pathological in people predisposed to this condition energy from excess Yang and/or deficiency in Yin.

At this time of year, an organism that has an imbalance related to the Liver/Gallbladder is equally worrying.

How to prevent allergies in spring

Since Traditional Chinese Medicine has a highly preventive action, it is imperative to rebalance the body, favoring the treatment or prevention of an energy imbalance in the Liver/Gallbladder.

• OR the lung is the determining organ in this field of allergies, since it is what establishes direct communication between the organism and the outside world. This connection occurs not only through breathing, with the entry and exit of air, but also through the skin.
• To put an end to allergies, TCM uses treatments that complement each other herbal medicine, Chinese dietetics and acupuncture the most common techniques with the highest success rate.
• To prevent allergies in spring it is possible with (but not only) acupuncture and phytotherapy relieve symptoms.
• It is also possible to reduce eating problems. Orient yourself to reduce sweets, dairy products, yogurt and cold foods as they favor the formation of mucus in the lungs.
• Soups, vegetables and cooked cereals are the most recommended in this spring rebalancing process.

Other precautions this season

A Spring is the time of Yang’s birth within Yin and is symbolized by the element Wood, the only element with life among the five elements of Chinese philosophy (water, wood, fire, earth and metal).

According to traditional Chinese medicine, around the element Wood A system of relationships is established that connects parts of the human organism to what exists around it. Therefore, some care tips are valuable:

• We must reduce the consumption of sour-tasting foods, sour fruits, leeks, vinegar, pickles and wine. Fats and fried foods should be avoided because the liver is sensitive.
• We should take advantage of fresh or lightly cooked and green foods
• Avoid excessive physical effort, but walk safely (if possible in parks or places with vegetation)
• Get acupuncture treatment in every season and do exercises specific to that season
• Massage or perform acupressure on the feet and knees (inner part)

• You the recommended teas are calming – mint, dandelion, lemon balm, boldo, artichoke and passion flower – because they purify the liver
