How does TCM view {condition_name}?
TCM views hay fever and allergies as Wind pathogen invasion combined with defensive Qi weakness that allows external allergens to penetrate the body's natural protective barriers.
Understanding the Root Cause
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), hay fever is often attributed to Wind-Heat or Wind-Cold invading the body's defensive Qi (Wei Qi), combined with Lung Qi and Wei Qi deficiency that weakens resistance to external allergens. Additionally, Spleen Qi deficiency may lead to Dampness production, creating internal conditions that worsen allergic responses and symptom severity.
