Allergic Rhinitis

In a randomized controlled trial, acupuncture and herbal medicines that boost lung energy to enhance defenses showed a significant difference in the improvement of the nasal symptom index compared to antihistamines alone. The advantages of Korean traditional medicine treatment are particularly prominent in terms of suppressing long-term recurrence. It works by reducing the hypersensitivity reaction itself through immune-modulating mechanisms. At Dongjedang, we employ a two-step strategy: first, we rapidly alleviate acute symptoms in the early stages using herbal medicines that soothe clear runny nose and sneezing; second, we prevent recurrence by strengthening lung energy with herbal medicines that boost defenses and revitalize vital energy. Combining this with nasal bloodletting accelerates the resolution of nasal congestion.
