Singapore’s unique environment, where lush tropical flora meets dense urban living, creates a perfect storm for allergies to thrive. Many residents struggle with symptoms that go beyond seasonal sniffles—persistent nasal congestion, itchy skin flare-ups, or unexplained reactions that disrupt daily life. At Gong Fang Tang TCM, we understand that true allergy relief requires more than just avoiding triggers. We view allergies as a sign of your body's internal defence system being imbalanced. Our approach focuses on identifying and correcting these root imbalances—strengthening your constitution from within to naturally reduce sensitivity to Singapore's common allergens.
新加坡独特的环境，茂密的热带植物与密集的都市生活交织，为过敏的滋生创造了“完美”条件。许多居民遭受的不仅是季节性的鼻塞，更有持续性的鼻部阻塞、皮肤瘙痒反复发作或不明原因的敏感反应，严重干扰日常生活。贡方堂中医深知，真正的过敏缓解远不止于避开诱因。我们将过敏视为身体内部防御系统失衡的信号。我们的方案着重于识别并纠正这些根本性的失衡——从内部增强您的体质，从而自然地降低对新加坡常见过敏原的敏感性。
一、Common Allergy Issues & Symptoms
常见过敏问题与症状表现
Allergy symptoms are your body's distress signals. Common conditions we effectively manage include:
过敏症状是身体发出的警报信号。我们有效调理的常见病症包括：
1. Allergic Rhinitis (过敏性鼻炎)
Symptoms: Sneezing fits, runny or blocked nose, itchy eyes/nose/throat, often worse in the morning or in air-conditioned environments.
症状： 阵发性喷嚏、流涕或鼻塞、眼/鼻/喉发痒，常在早晨或空调环境中加重。
2. Eczema & Allergic Dermatitis (湿疹与过敏性皮炎)
Symptoms: Dry, red, inflamed, and itchy skin patches that may ooze or crust over; commonly affects flexures (elbows, knees) and face.
症状： 皮肤出现干燥、发红、发炎和瘙痒的斑块，可能渗出或结痂；常见于关节屈侧（肘部、膝部）和面部。
3. Chronic Urticaria (Hives) (慢性荨麻疹)
Symptoms: Sudden appearance of raised, red, itchy welts (wheals) on the skin that change shape and location, often triggered by heat, stress, or unknown factors.
症状： 皮肤上突然出现凸起、发红、瘙痒的风团，形状和位置多变，常由热、压力或不明因素诱发。
4. Allergic Asthma (过敏性哮喘)
Symptoms: Coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath, particularly triggered by airborne allergens like dust mites, pollen, or mould.
症状： 咳嗽、喘息、胸闷和气短，尤其由尘螨、花粉或霉菌等空气传播的过敏原引发。
5. Food Sensitivities / Intolerances (食物敏感/不耐受)
Symptoms: Bloating, abdominal discomfort, fatigue, or skin reactions after eating certain foods, indicating a digestive system struggling to process specific substances.
症状： 食用特定食物后出现腹胀、腹部不适、疲劳或皮肤反应，表明消化系统难以处理某些物质。
二、Why Do Allergies Occur?
过敏的成因：中医与现代医学视角
Traditional Chinese Medicine Perspective
In TCM, allergies are not seen as a simple overreaction to external particles, but as a failure of the body's defensive energy (Wei Qi) due to underlying weaknesses, primarily in the Lungs, Spleen, and Kidneys.
中医视角
中医认为，过敏并非只是对外部微粒的简单过度反应，而是由于身体根本性的虚弱（主要在肺、脾、肾）导致防御能量（卫气）失守。
Lung & Spleen Qi Deficiency (肺脾气虚): The Lungs govern the skin and respiratory tract, while the Spleen produces defensive Qi. Weakness here makes the body's "border defences" vulnerable, allowing external "wind" and allergens to penetrate easily.
肺脾气虚： 肺主皮毛和呼吸道，脾产生卫气。此处虚弱会使身体的“边防”脆弱，让外部的“风邪”和过敏原易于侵入。
Kidney Yang Deficiency (肾阳虚): Provides the foundational warmth and energy for all bodily functions, including the immune system. Deficiency can lead to a cold, hyper-reactive state that manifests as chronic allergies.
肾阳虚： 为所有身体机能（包括免疫系统）提供基础温煦和能量。阳虚可导致机体处于一种虚寒、过度反应的状态，表现为慢性过敏。
Accumulation of Damp-Heat (湿热内蕴): Singapore's climate and diet can lead to internal Damp-Heat, which may rise to the skin (causing eczema) or congest the respiratory pathways.
湿热内蕴： 新加坡的气候和饮食可导致体内湿热，湿热可上行至皮肤（引发湿疹）或阻滞呼吸道。
Modern Medical Perspective
现代医学视角
Immune Dysregulation: An overactive Th2 immune response to harmless substances (allergens).
免疫失调： 对无害物质（过敏原）的Th2免疫反应过度活跃。
Genetic Predisposition: Family history plays a significant role.
遗传倾向： 家族史是重要因素。
Environmental Triggers: High humidity (promoting dust mites and mould), pollution, and dietary changes act as catalysts.
环境诱因： 高湿度（助长尘螨和霉菌）、污染和饮食变化起到催化作用。
Leaky Gut Syndrome: Increased intestinal permeability may allow partially digested food particles into the bloodstream, triggering immune reactions.
肠漏症： 肠道通透性增加可能使未完全消化的食物颗粒进入血液，引发免疫反应。
三、How TCM Treats Allergies
中医如何治疗过敏
Our treatment strategy is twofold: to provide immediate symptomatic relief and to correct the underlying constitutional imbalance for long-term resilience.
我们的治疗策略是双重的：提供即时的症状缓解，并纠正根本性的体质失衡以建立长期的抵抗力。
1. Herbal Medicine (中药调理)
Personalised formulas are the cornerstone, tailored to your specific pattern:
个性化配方是核心，根据您的具体证型定制：
For Wind-Cold with Qi Deficiency: Yu Ping Feng San (Jade Windscreen Powder) to strengthen the defensive Qi and shield against external allergens.
针对气虚风寒： 玉屏风散 以益气固表，抵御外邪。
For Damp-Heat in the Skin/Lungs: Huang Lian Jie Du Tang (Coptis Decoction) modified to clear heat, dry dampness, and cool the blood.
针对皮肤/肺经湿热： 黄连解毒汤 加减以清热燥湿、凉血。
For Chronic Cold-Type Allergies: Gui Zhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) or Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan to warm Kidney Yang and dispel cold.
针对慢性虚寒型过敏： 桂枝汤 或 金匮肾气丸 以温补肾阳、散寒。
2. Acupuncture (针灸疗法)
Fine needles regulate the immune response and soothe irritated systems:
细针疗法可调节免疫反应，舒缓受刺激的系统：
Key Points: Yingxiang (LI20) for nasal blockage, Quchi (LI11) and Xuehai (SP10) for skin itching, Feishu (BL13) and Pishu (BL20) to strengthen Lung and Spleen.
关键穴位： 迎香 通鼻窍，曲池 与 血海 止皮肤瘙痒，肺俞 与 脾俞 健脾益肺。
3. Tuina & Cupping/Gua Sha (推拿与拔罐/刮痧)
Tuina: Specialised techniques along the Bladder meridian on the back to release tension and improve Qi flow related to the lungs and immune system.
推拿： 沿背部膀胱经的特殊手法，释放紧张，改善与肺和免疫系统相关的气血流动。
Cupping/Gua Sha: Effective on the upper back to "draw out" wind and heat, often providing rapid relief for allergic respiratory symptoms and skin inflammation.
拔罐/刮痧： 在上背部施术，可“拔出”风热，常能快速缓解过敏性呼吸道症状和皮肤炎症。
4. TCM Dietary & Lifestyle Counseling (中医饮食与生活指导)
We provide actionable advice to reduce the allergic load:
我们提供可执行的建议，以减少过敏负担：
Identifying and moderating intake of "damp-producing" or "heat-inducing" foods (e.g., dairy, spicy foods, seafood for some).
识别并减少摄入“生湿”或“助热”的食物（例如，对某些人而言的奶制品、辛辣食物、海鲜）。
Recommending skin-friendly bathing practices and suitable moisturisers.
推荐适宜的护肤沐浴方法和保湿产品。
