In Singapore, rhinitis is more than just an occasional sniffle—it's a persistent disruption in our air-conditioned environments, amidst seasonal haze, and in our bustling urban life. Whether it's the constant congestion that clouds your thinking, the relentless sneezing that interrupts your day, or the itchy, runny nose that simply won't quit, these are signs your body's defenses are out of balance. At Gong Fang Tang TCM, we understand that rhinitis symptoms are a signal from your system, not the core problem itself. We focus on discovering and treating the underlying internal imbalances—often connected to the Lungs, Spleen, and Kidneys—that create this hypersensitivity, providing natural, personalized care suited to Singapore's unique climate and lifestyle.
在新加坡，鼻炎远非偶尔的打喷嚏 —— 它是我们空调环境、季节性烟霾以及喧嚣都市生活中，一种持续的困扰。无论是让您头脑昏沉的持续鼻塞、打断您日常的频繁喷嚏，还是难以止住的鼻痒、流涕，这些都是您身体防御系统失衡的信号。贡方堂中医深知，鼻炎症状是身体系统发出的信号，而非核心问题本身。我们专注于探寻并治疗引发这种敏感性的根本性内在失衡 —— 这通常与 肺、脾、肾 的功能相关 —— 并提供适合新加坡独特气候与生活方式的天然、个性化调理。
一、Common Rhinitis Issues & Symptoms
常见鼻炎问题与症状表现
Rhinitis is more than just a runny nose—it’s a chronic inflammatory condition of the nasal passages that can significantly impact quality of life. Common conditions we address include:
鼻炎不仅仅是流鼻涕——它是一种鼻道的慢性炎症状态，可严重影响生活质量。我们常处理的类型包括：
Allergic Rhinitis (Hay Fever) 过敏性鼻炎
Symptoms: Sneezing fits, clear watery nasal discharge, itchy nose/eyes/throat, nasal congestion, often triggered by dust mites, pollen, or pet dander.
症状： 阵发性喷嚏、清水样鼻涕、鼻/眼/喉发痒、鼻塞，常由尘螨、花粉或宠物皮屑引发。
Perennial & Vasomotor Rhinitis 常年性与血管运动性鼻炎
Symptoms: Year-round or trigger-specific (e.g., temperature changes, strong smells) nasal congestion, post-nasal drip, reduced sense of smell, facial pressure.
症状： 常年性或特定诱因（如温差、强烈气味）引发的鼻塞、鼻后滴漏、嗅觉减退、面部压迫感。
Sinusitis (Rhinosinusitis) 鼻窦炎
Symptoms: Thick yellow/green nasal discharge, facial pain/pressure (especially around cheeks and forehead), headache, fatigue, cough.
症状： 粘稠黄/绿鼻涕、面部疼痛/压迫感（尤以脸颊和前额为主）、头痛、疲劳、咳嗽。
“Lung Qi Deficiency” & “Spleen-Kidney Yang Deficiency” Patterns 肺气虚与脾肾阳虚证
Symptoms: Frequent colds, sneezing upon waking or exposure to wind/cold, clear profuse discharge, fatigue, low back weakness, poor appetite—common TCM patterns for chronic rhinitis.
症状： 易感冒、遇风冷则喷嚏清涕、涕多清稀、乏力、腰膝酸软、食欲不振——中医辨治慢性鼻炎的常见证型。
二、Why Does Rhinitis Occur?
鼻炎问题的成因：中医与现代医学视角
Traditional Chinese Medicine Perspective
In TCM, nasal health is governed by the Lungs, but relies on the supportive energy from the Spleen and Kidneys. Singapore‘s air-conditioned climate, dietary habits, and environmental allergens can disrupt this system:
中医视角
中医认为，鼻窍健康由肺所主，但有赖于脾肾之气的充养。新加坡的空调环境、饮食习惯和环境过敏原可能破坏这一系统：
Lung Qi Deficiency & Wind-Cold/Heat Invasion (肺气虚，风寒/风热侵袭): The Lungs open into the nose. Weak Lung Qi fails to defend the body, making it susceptible to external pathogens like wind, cold, or heat, leading to blockages and discharge.
肺气虚，风寒/风热侵袭： 肺开窍于鼻。肺气虚弱则卫外不固，易受风、寒、热等外邪侵袭，导致鼻塞、流涕。
Spleen Deficiency with Damp-Phlegm (脾虚湿阻): The Spleen transforms fluids. A weak Spleen leads to internal Dampness and Phlegm, which can rise to congest the nasal passages, causing persistent thick discharge and swelling.
脾虚湿阻： 脾主运化水湿。脾虚则生内湿痰饮，上泛鼻窍，导致持续粘涕、鼻甲肿胀。
Kidney Yang Deficiency (肾阳虚): The Kidneys provide fundamental warmth and energy. Long-term illness or constitutionally weak Kidney Yang fails to warm the Lungs, leading to clear, copious discharge and cold intolerance.
肾阳虚： 肾为元气之根，提供根本的温煦与能量。久病或素体肾阳不足，不能温煦肺腑，导致清涕量多、畏寒。
Modern Medical Perspective
Factors contributing to rhinitis include:
现代医学视角
导致鼻炎的因素包括：
Immune System Overreaction: Allergic rhinitis involves an IgE-mediated response to harmless allergens.
免疫系统过度反应： 过敏性鼻炎涉及对无害过敏原的IgE介导反应。
Environmental Triggers: Airborne allergens (dust mites, pollen, mould), pollution, haze, cigarette smoke, and strong odours.
环境诱因： 空气过敏原（尘螨、花粉、霉菌）、污染、烟霾、香烟烟雾及强烈气味。
Anatomical Factors: Deviated septum or nasal polyps can predispose one to chronic issues.
解剖因素： 鼻中隔偏曲或鼻息肉可导致慢性问题。
Genetic Predisposition: Family history of allergies, asthma, or eczema.
遗传倾向： 过敏、哮喘或湿疹的家族史。
Lifestyle & Diet: Excessive consumption of cold, raw, or dairy-rich foods (from a TCM dietary perspective), chronic stress weakening immunity.
生活方式与饮食： 过度食用生冷、乳制品（中医饮食观）、慢性压力削弱免疫力。
