TCM practitioners believe that allergy patients are prone to recurring allergic reactions because they suffer from an underlying weakness, often a deficiency of lung and spleen Qi. On the one hand, Lung Qi accounts for the proper function of the entire respiratory system including the nasal air passages. On the other hand, spleen Qi is responsible for the smooth transport of body fluids. When the Qi is out of balance it leads to annoying allergic symptoms.
