Chinese Medicine for Allergies

Spring is here and that means everyone’s reaching for their allergy meds like it is a seasonal ritual. 

But what if your body could actually handle the season better? In Traditional Chinese Medicine we have the concept of Wei Qi—your body’s invisible armor.

It is your first line of defense against external invaders like pollen, wind, cold, or heat. If your Wei Qi is strong allergies won’t hit you as hard. So how can we strengthen it?

Local Honey

A spoonful of raw, local honey can gradually help your body adapt to regional pollen. Just make sure it is truly local and unprocessed.

Press each point for 30-60 seconds, breathe deeply, and let your body reset.
