Allergies and the Immune System

Allergies are immune system responses to substances that are typically harmless, such as pollen, dust, or certain foods. Symptoms can include sneezing, itching, and inflammation. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a holistic approach to managing allergies and strengthening the immune system by addressing underlying imbalances and promoting overall health.
