When I say go big, I mean GO BIG with hydration. Mega boosting your internal moisture will really help with those annoying allergy symptoms, especially itching (THE WORST!). If you’re taking Zyrtec this is also important because it’s so drying.
If you’re interested in other TCM remedies for clearing allergies, see our link in bio. Be a great friend and share with anyone you know who is down for the (pollen) count. 👆
Most requested recipes (we'll make more detailed posts soon...):
Want to see the recipe for anything here? Lmk in the comments! I don’t just drink water and light fluids to properly hydrate, I make sure to get in some serious Yin boosting VISCOUS fluids too (see TCM gelatin soup, gelatinous chicken broth, Chinese mountain yam).
Building your YIN, aka your internal “soil” helps soften the strong blow of your immune response to allergies. It’s kind of like watering your soil enough to create a lush forest that dampens a strong wind blowing (which is the concept of WIND in TCM that describes your allergic immune response).
If your inner soil is moist and fertile enough for a lush forest the wind’s force won’t be felt as much. But if your inner soil is dry like the desert, then the same force of wind has a much bigger impact that you will feel as itching, running nose, red rashy skin, etc.
Also important to boost your internal moisture: don’t drink alcohol and make sure you get as amazing sleep as possible!
*Not personal medical advice, educational only. Caution eating too much yin building foods for those with excessive diarrhea and chronic loose stools. Ask your TCM practitioner if unsure!
