Q I heard that a spring tonic can also help with allergic rhinitis. Is that true?
A A spring tonic that regulates both Liver and Lung function can genuinely help prevent seasonal allergies such as rhinitis and hives.
Detailed Answer
Spring allergies aren't caused by pollen alone. They often occur when the body's defensive qi (wei qi) weakens, allowing an overreaction to external triggers. A spring tonic that strengthens Lung qi and helps Liver qi flow smoothly can support and stabilize this immune response.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
Adding herbs that strengthen the body's surface defenses to a spring tonic can help prevent seasonal allergy symptoms such as rhinitis, conjunctivitis, and itchy skin — addressing both treatment and prevention at the same time.
