DIY Spring Allergy Relief
Wei Qi is the Chinese Medicine understanding of the immune response. When allergy symptoms arise, it's often a sign that your Wei Qi is weak and cannot identify true pathogens from spring flowers, allowing for wind (itchiness) and damp (mucus) to invade the system.
Symptom Management
OTC meds like Benadryl and Flonase work temporarily by inhibiting the inflammation and histamine response, but they can often trigger other issues like dryness and fatigue. We prefer to treat both the symptoms AND the root cause to keep you feeling great and sniffle-free.
