A Chinese medicine expert has revealed the ultimate allergy relief remedy that, unlike “Western” medicines, has “no side effects.”
Nina Cheng, founder of The Eastern Philosophy, a small company specializing in medicinal herbs, showed remedies that can help you “relieve nasal congestion without the side effects of pharmaceuticals.”
She captioned the clip: ‘Traditional Chinese medicine has some of the best remedies for nasal congestion, developing exclusively herbal formulas as well as acupressure solutions to relieve nasal congestion without the side effects of pharmaceuticals.
‘As early as the Warring States period (400-250 BC), Chinese doctors had already developed a solid understanding of nasal congestion or rhinitis.
‘The medical text Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor attributes rhinitis to “outer cold and wind” that disrupt the immune system, combined with “inner heat,” also known as inflammation.
‘Herbal remedies for nasal congestion focus on mitigating inflammation in the nose and throughout, as well as restoring normal circulation and regulating the immune system. TCM herbal formulas for nasal congestion are designed to address specific constitutional types and are rarely universal.
‘Two of the best-known formulas for nasal congestion are Bi Yan Pian and Pe Min Gan, targeting different constitutions: those with watery, clear or white nasal mucus will benefit most from Pe Min Gan, while those with thicker, Yellow (indicating a stronger inflammatory immune reaction) should select Bi Yan Pian. We also have capsules and a tea for allergies.’
At the beginning of the clip, he said, “Did you know that magnolia flowers are one of the best remedies for nasal congestion in Chinese culture?”
He then noted that “unlike Western remedies,” this herbal formula has no side effects or “withdrawal symptoms.”
He then began explaining which herbal formulas work best.
In one of her latest clips, the owner detailed the herbal formula that will give you relief during allergy season.
“Two of the most well-known formulas for nasal congestion are Bi Yan Pian and Pe Min Gan, targeting different constitutions,” he shared.
‘In terms of herbal formulas, one of the most effective herbal combinations is the combination of cockle fruit and magnolia flower bud.
“They have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and anti-allergic properties, and they are the main herbal ingredients,” he said while showing two supplements containing those ingredients.
Nina then broke down again what will be most effective depending on the color of your mucus.
“Those with watery or clear mucus will benefit most from BMIN GUN, while those with thicker yellow mucus should use BNP,” he added.
At the end of the clip, Nina also shared another way to clear sinuses and relieve allergies.
He suggested that people on the web use Gua Sha, which is a tool used in traditional Chinese medicine that helps heal when you rub it over the skin.
Nina recommends using a Gua Sha ‘one inch above the hairline’ for allergy relief.
