TCM Diagnosis for Allergic Rhinitis
In TCM, a disease or a symptom might be caused by one pathogenic factor, even two or three pathogenic factors. When diagnosing a disease or a symptom, TCM doctors must follow the principle of "Syndrome Differentiation", and then "Suit the Remedy to the Case". In order to gain a right and valuable diagnosis, it's important and necessary for the doctor to learn the detailed health information of the patient, including his/her disease duration, age, sex, height, weight, family history, urine, stool, diet, sleep, sweat, energy, mood (emotion), as well as the tongue conditions and the palm conditions, etc. If you would want our expert to create a TCM diagnosis, please fill out the health form as requested.

Allergic rhinitis, often called allergies or hay fever, occurs when your immune system overreacts to particles in the air that you breathe-you are allergic to them. Your immune system attacks the particles in your body, causing symptoms such as sneezing and a runny nose. The particles are called allergens, which simply means they can cause an allergic reaction. People with allergies usually have symptoms for many years. You may have symptoms often during the year, or just at certain times. You also may get other problems such as sinusitis and ear infections as a result of your allergies.

Key points for TCM diagnosis
(1) Symptoms: The patient has paroxysmal nasal itch, persistent sneezing, profuse nasal discharge, nasal obstruction and anosmia. The onset mostly lasts about 15 minutes to half an hour. The disease may occur once or several times a day. The time duration and frequency of onset are determined by the severity of the state of illness.

(2) Examination of the nasal cavity: During the attack, the nasal mucosa is mostly pale with edema, mainly the enlargement of inferior and middle nasal conchae. At the intermittent stage, edema of the mucosa is relieved, hut the mucosa is still pale. For a small number of patients, the mucosa is reddish. The secretion is clear, thin and profuse in the nasal cavity.

(3) The patient has the history of allergic reactions like urticaria and allergic asthma.

(4) The smear of nasal secretion sees a large number of eosinophilic cells.

(5) Elevation of blood serum IgE is found.
