? Comparatively speaking, my focus is on the former, and the latter can only know a little about a person who has been wandering at the door of the Chinese medicine system. The latter is mostly if you are convinced of Chinese medicine and have time and energy, you can practice it according to the latter's Chinese herbal medicine regimen.
? Focus on the previous book "Allergic Rhinitis", which is a professional book written for nasal medical professionals. I just want to know what I want to get rhinitis, what causes it, and what methods can reduce the influence of rhinitis on myself (because rhinitis is incurable). I started my journey to find the answers with these questions.
First, the reason:
1, genetic gene
? Most of the genes that cause allergic rhinitis, asthma and allergic dermatitis belong to the same genome, and heredity is the cause of most allergic rhinitis. Think about it, my grandmother has bronchitis and asthma, and my mother has a sensitive nose. Well, congenital factors cannot be changed. I am more prone to allergic rhinitis than the average person. )
? The three symptoms of allergic rhinitis: sneezing, runny nose and stuffy nose, often occur in the morning, at night or immediately after contact with allergens.
Pathogenesis of allergic rhinitis: (as shown below)
2. Environmental factors
? The growth environment of 0-3 years old is very important for the onset of allergic rhinitis in the later period, especially when exposed to air pollution.
? Looking back on my childhood, this aspect should have little impact. My hometown is still a beautiful place, which is the influence of the acquired growth. Because I often caught a cold when I was a child, I didn't know enough about rhinitis and cold, so I couldn't tell whether it was rhinitis or a cold, and I couldn't tell whether it was a cold symptom caused by rhinitis or a cold caused rhinitis. Anyway, as long as I can remember, my family has been concerned and often sent to the hospital for injections and medicine because of a "cold" or fever. At that time, I didn't say that fever was a normal physiological response of my immune system to bacterial viruses, and injections would affect my immunity. Too many injections and drugs have further damaged my immune system.
I seem to be the spokesperson of antibiotic persecution after 1980s.
3. Comprehensive factors
Heredity+environment, as well as acquired diet, living environment, working environment, rhinitis caused by other asthma and so on. , leading to rhinitis attack.
This should be a common problem of modern people. Nowadays, air pollution (automobile exhaust, emissions from industrial processes) and food safety (hormones, pesticides, antibiotics, etc. ) has negative effects on the living environment and health of modern people to varying degrees, leading to an increasing trend of allergic rhinitis year by year.
? Rhinitis will not only affect sleep, mood and learning ability, but also lead to severe headache, memory impairment and unresponsiveness. Especially when I see that rhinitis can lead to dark circles, I want to cry at once. It turns out that there is a fundamental reason why I smoke and make up panda eyes all the year round.
Second, the treatment:
1, drugs-there are many listed in the book, all of which have more or less side effects, which are not recommended by individuals.
Unless it has seriously affected people's lives, rhinitis is a chronic disease, and even drug treatment will not be effective in a short time. This book implies that it will take about two years. Think about the side effects of drugs for two years and give up.
2, reduce the environmental impact-completely acceptable.
? According to the individual's different allergens (long-term observation, you can also go to the hospital for allergen screening and testing: such as prick, serum, cell, image, lung function, induced sputum, etc. ), reduce environmental interference.
? As I am allergic to dust, dust mites and cold air, I list the following measures:
2. 1 frequent cleaning: in frequent places, such as bedrooms, offices, etc., it is necessary to maintain a high degree of cleanliness and deep cleanliness (the vacuum cleaner sucks out dust from corners that cannot be cleaned generally). It seems that you should be diligent and clean up frequently in the future;
2.2 Scientific cleaning of bedding: Bed is the place where mites gather. Although you can't see it with the naked eye, it exists. This eight-legged creature especially likes human skin and dander secretions, especially quilts;
Improvement method: wash the bedding frequently, and wash the sheets with hot water above 55 degrees after ironing. Because water above 55 degrees can kill mites, and it can't be killed once, mites are very fertile. It is recommended to wash twice a week for three months, use synthetic fiber pillows and blankets, or use mite bedspreads to avoid the breeding of mites.
2.3 More ventilation: ventilation at least twice every morning and after rain;
2.4 Dehumidifier: Mites like humid air, especially the humidity in the south, which is an environment where mites are very easy to breed and survive. The relative humidity should be controlled below 60%, and the dehumidifier can control the wetland index at 40% ~ 50% to keep the air dry.
2.5 Do not use upholstered furniture and carpets, and often clean the curtains;
2.6 Regularly clean air conditioning equipment and filters;
2.7 Don't put the bookshelf beside the bed, because books are also places where dust is easy to deposit. Keep a certain distance from the bed and wipe it regularly with a wet towel.
2.8 regularly change the water to clean the fish tank, and the water outlet inside the fish tank is easy to breed fungi.
3, surgery: suitable for nasal polyps and sinusitis, but there is also the possibility that the surgical effect is not ideal. If it is not particularly serious, it is recommended not to use it;
4, enhance physical fitness: strengthen physical exercise, improve their own resistance, such as jogging, swimming and so on. ;
5, small details of life: wash your face with cold water to enhance your body's anti-sensitivity to cold water and tolerance to cold;
6. Diet:
Another supplement: glutinous rice, stem rice, durian and honey (diabetics should eat carefully) are also warm food.
7. Massage: As a lazy person like me, it is too troublesome and complicated to cook many Chinese herbal medicine formulas in the book "Physical Health Guide for Allergic Rhinitis". Please select several practical and simple backups, as shown in the following figure:

Acupoint correlation:
The above 4, 5, 6 and 7 are excerpted from the Physical Fitness and Health Guidance of Allergic Rhinitis.
Others: such as pollen, fungi, pets, food allergies and other necessary remedial measures, in short, reduce contact with allergens.
Three. General introduction
? To sum up, the drugs for allergic rhinitis should be prepared for a protracted war, and rhinitis should not be taken lightly and turned into asthma, otherwise the threat to the body will increase, especially after old age. The incidence of allergic rhinitis is high in children, especially teenagers, and reaches its peak in their thirties. In old age, due to the slow sympathetic response of the elderly, the sensitivity will be reduced and the symptoms will be weakened.
? Attention should be paid to allergic rhinitis from all aspects of life in order to effectively reduce the low incidence rate, especially to reduce exposure to allergens and improve one's physical fitness.
This is why I pay special attention to this coronavirus, because as far as my own immunity is concerned, the possibility of completely defeating the powerful coronavirus is very small. If the side effects of long-term medication are irreversible, I need all-round protection to avoid contact with the virus.
