In Singapore, allergies are more than just seasonal sniffles—they're a persistent challenge in our tropical climate, amidst urban pollution, and in our modern lifestyles. Characterized by relentless sneezing, itchy eyes, skin rashes, or respiratory discomfort, allergic reactions signal an over-sensitive immune system and underlying constitutional imbalances. At Gong Fang Tang TCM, we understand that allergies reflect internal disharmony, not just external triggers. We focus on identifying and strengthening the body’s foundational systems—often related to the Lungs, Spleen, and Kidneys—to reduce hypersensitivity, providing natural and personalized care designed for Singapore's unique environmental conditions.
在新加坡，过敏远非季节性的鼻塞打喷嚏——它是在我们热带气候、都市污染和现代生活方式中的一种持续挑战。表现为顽固的喷嚏、眼睛发痒、皮肤皮疹或呼吸道不适，过敏反应标志着免疫系统的过度敏感和内在的根本性失衡。贡方堂中医深知，过敏反映的是内在的失调，而不仅仅是外部诱因。我们专注于识别并强化身体的根本系统——这通常与 肺、脾、肾 的功能相关——以降低敏感性，并提供针对新加坡独特环境设计的天然、个性化调理。
一、Common Allergy Issues & Symptoms
常见过敏问题与症状
Allergies manifest when the immune system overreacts to harmless substances. Common conditions we address include:
当免疫系统对无害物质反应过度时，就会表现出过敏。我们常处理的类型包括：
Allergic Rhinitis (Hay Fever) 过敏性鼻炎
Symptoms: Sneezing fits, runny/itchy nose, nasal congestion, itchy/watery/red eyes, post-nasal drip.
症状： 阵发性喷嚏、流涕/鼻痒、鼻塞、眼睛发痒/流泪/发红、鼻后滴漏。
Skin Allergies (Eczema, Hives) 皮肤过敏（湿疹、荨麻疹）
Symptoms: Red, itchy, dry, or scaly skin patches (eczema); sudden raised, itchy welts (hives).
症状： 皮肤红、痒、干燥或片状脱屑（湿疹）；突然出现的凸起、发痒的风团（荨麻疹）。
Food Allergies & Intolerances 食物过敏与不耐受
Symptoms: Digestive issues (bloating, diarrhoea), skin reactions, swelling, or respiratory symptoms after eating specific foods.
症状： 食用特定食物后出现消化问题（腹胀、腹泻）、皮肤反应、肿胀或呼吸道症状。
Asthma (Allergic) 过敏性哮喘
Symptoms: Wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, coughing, often triggered by allergens or exercise.
症状： 喘息、呼吸短促、胸闷、咳嗽，常由过敏原或运动诱发。
“Wei Qi Deficiency” & “Lung-Spleen Qi Deficiency” Patterns 卫气虚与肺脾气虚证
Symptoms: Frequent colds, easy sweating, fatigue, poor appetite, loose stools—common TCM patterns seen in individuals prone to allergies.
症状： 易感冒、易出汗、疲劳、食欲不振、大便稀溏——中医辨治过敏体质人群的常见证型。
二、Why Do Allergies Occur?
过敏问题的成因：中医与现代视角
Traditional Chinese Medicine Perspective
中医视角
TCM views allergies not as an attack by external allergens, but as a failure of the body's defensive energy (Wei Qi) due to internal weakness. Singapore's climate and lifestyle can exacerbate this:
中医认为过敏并非外部过敏原的侵袭，而是由于身体内部虚弱导致防御能量（卫气）失守。新加坡的气候和生活方式可能加剧这一问题：
Lung & Spleen Qi Deficiency (肺脾气虚): The Lungs govern the skin and respiratory system, and the Spleen is the source of Wei Qi. Weakness in these organs impairs the body's barrier function and immune regulation, making it susceptible to allergens (“wind” invasion).
肺脾气虚： 肺主皮毛和呼吸系统，脾为卫气之源。这些脏腑功能虚弱会损害身体的屏障功能和免疫调节，使其易受过敏原（“风”邪）侵袭。
Kidney Yang Deficiency (肾阳虚): The Kidneys provide the fundamental warmth and energy for all bodily functions. Weak Kidney Yang fails to support the Lung and Spleen, leading to chronic cold-type allergies (clear discharge, cold intolerance).
肾阳虚： 肾为所有身体功能提供根本的温煦和能量。肾阳不足无法支持肺和脾的功能，导致慢性寒性过敏（清稀分泌物、畏寒）。
Accumulation of “Wind-Damp-Heat” (风湿热蕴结): External dampness and heat (from climate, diet) combine with internal “wind,” manifesting as itchy skin rashes, red eyes, or thick nasal discharge.
风湿热蕴结： 外湿与热（来自气候、饮食）与内在的“风”相结合，表现为皮肤发痒的皮疹、眼睛发红或粘稠鼻涕。
Modern Medical Perspective
现代视角
Contributing factors include:
影响因素包括：
Genetic Predisposition: Family history of allergies, asthma, or eczema.
遗传倾向： 过敏、哮喘或湿疹的家族史。
Immune System Dysregulation: An overactive Th2 immune response to harmless substances.
免疫系统失调： 对无害物质产生过度活跃的Th2免疫反应。
Environmental Triggers: High humidity, dust mites, pollen, mould spores, pollution, haze.
环境诱因： 高湿度、尘螨、花粉、霉菌孢子、污染、烟霾。
Diet & Lifestyle: Processed foods, stress, lack of sleep, which can worsen inflammation and gut health (linked to immunity).
饮食与生活方式： 加工食品、压力、睡眠不足，这些可能加剧炎症并影响肠道健康（与免疫力相关）。
三、How TCM Treats Allergies
中医如何调理过敏？
At Gong Fang Tang TCM, we employ a two-phase strategy: relieve acute symptoms and fortify the body's constitution to prevent recurrence.
在贡方堂中医，我们采用两阶段策略：缓解急性症状，并巩固体质以防止复发。
1. Herbal Medicine (中药调理)
Custom formulas are prescribed based on your specific TCM pattern:
根据您的具体中医证型定制配方：
For Acute Attacks (Wind-Cold/Wind-Heat): Modified Xiao Qing Long Tang (小青龙汤) or Cang Er Zi San (苍耳子散) to dispel wind, scatter cold/heat, and unblock the nose.
针对急性发作（风寒/风热）： 加减小青龙汤 或 苍耳子散 以祛风散寒/散热，通利鼻窍。
For Underlying Lung-Spleen Qi Deficiency: Yu Ping Feng San (玉屏风散) combined with Si Jun Zi Tang (四君子汤) principles to consolidate the exterior and strengthen the middle.
针对根本的肺脾气虚： 玉屏风散 合 四君子汤 方义以益气固表，健脾扶正。
For Chronic Skin Allergies with Damp-Heat: Modified Xiao Feng San (消风散) to expel wind, clear heat, and remove dampness.
针对伴有湿热的慢性皮肤过敏： 加减消风散 以疏风清热，除湿止痒。
2. Acupuncture (针灸疗法)
Fine needles at specific points to regulate immune response, reduce inflammation, and relieve symptoms:
在特定穴位施以细针，以调节免疫反应、减轻炎症、缓解症状：
Yingxiang (LI20): Unblocks the nose for allergic rhinitis.
迎香 (LI20): 通鼻窍，适用于过敏性鼻炎。
Hegu (LI4): Expels wind and relieves facial/sinus congestion.
合谷 (LI4): 疏风解表，缓解面部/鼻窦堵塞。
Zusanli (ST36): Strengthens Spleen and Stomach Qi to boost Wei Qi.
足三里 (ST36): 健脾和胃，以增强卫气。
Quchi (LI11): Clears heat and dampness, beneficial for skin allergies.
曲池 (LI11): 清热利湿，有益于皮肤过敏。
Feishu (BL13): Nourishes Lung Qi.
肺俞 (BL13): 补益肺气。
3. Moxibustion (艾灸)
Warm moxa applied to points like Zusanli (ST36) or Shenque (CV8) is excellent for deficient, cold-type allergies to warm Yang and strengthen resistance.
将温热的艾条施于 足三里 或 神阙 等穴位，非常适合虚寒型过敏，用以温阳固表，增强抵抗力。
4. Cupping & Gua Sha (拔罐与刮痧)
Used on the upper back (e.g., along the Bladder meridian) to release muscle tension, improve circulation, and help expel pathogens, often providing immediate relief for respiratory allergy symptoms.
用于上背部（如沿膀胱经），以松解肌肉紧张、改善循环、帮助祛除病邪，常能立即缓解呼吸道过敏症状。
5. Dietary & Lifestyle Counseling (中医食疗与生活指导)
Personalized advice for Singapore's context:
针对新加坡环境的个性化建议：
Diet: Identify and reduce “damp-forming” foods (dairy, sweets, greasy food); incorporate foods that strengthen Lung/Spleen (e.g., pumpkin, lotus seed).
饮食： 识别并减少“助湿”食物（乳制品、甜食、油腻食物）；加入补益肺脾的食物（如南瓜、莲子）。
Environment: Practical tips for reducing dust mites, managing humidity, and air purifier use.
