What is TCM point of view on food allergies

Condition analysis:
TCM point of view on Food Allergies: TCM views food allergies as a symptom of a greater, deeper imbalance. Food allergies are not an external problem, but an internal one-and these allergies can be reversed. And while we don’t suggest that you eat a whopping forkful of a food your body cannot yet tolerate, changing your diet to avoid allergens does not get to the root cause of why the allergy occurred in the first place.

Food allergies are an indication that your Stomach Qi is low and there is an imbalance in your digestive system. This does not mean that there is a problem with your actual organ. Instead, it means that the energy (or Qi) that helps your stomach to function at its optimal level is low. Because this Qi is low, your stomach function is not reaching it’s potential, meaning it cannot fully process certain foods. But as you coax your Spleen/Stomach partnership back into balance, you will help your organs function properly and your Qi will flow more freely. You might just find that your allergy symptoms subside or disappear entirely.

How to create a balanced internal environment according to to TCM? Traditional Chinese Medicine’s approach to wellness is based on harmony and balance. It focuses on changing the body’s internal environment to achieve a better end result-wellness. This approach allows the body to push the cold essence out naturally. It’s based on the principle that when your internal environment is strong, a virus cannot grow.

One way to do this is through the use of certain foods. Foods such as ginger and turmeric are warming. The warming essence of these foods allows the skin to perspire-to push the virus out through the skin, the body’s largest organ, and to exercise the immune system.
