Spring arrives, life flourishes,
yet allergies surge unexpectedly.
Have you noticed?
Allergic diseases are exploding in prevalence.
This year, patients suffering from allergic rhinitis seem particularly numerous,
with symptoms appearing more severe.
Beyond seasonal factors,
one critical cause must be mentioned—
"allergy debt."
What is "allergy debt"?
Traditionally, the causes of allergic rhinitis were attributed to genetics and regional factors. Children are more likely to develop allergic rhinitis if parents have severe cases or if mothers lacked timely treatment before or during pregnancy. Humid southern climates, prone to mites and bacteria, also show higher incidence.
Now, lifestyle and environmental changes are recognized as key contributors. In the past, children played outdoors, exposing their immune systems to diverse microbes, fostering adaptation.
However, urbanization and modern lifestyles have reduced our interaction with nature. Clothes, food, and living environments have become ultra-clean—especially after three years of pandemic precautions like masks and social distancing. This created "allergy debt."
This "debt" weakens immunity. Like greenhouse flowers suddenly exposed to allergens, allergic rhinitis erupts.
Spring outings:
A season for allergies to "collect debt"
As spring revives nature, people venture outdoors to enjoy blooming scenery. Yet frequent temperature fluctuations irritate nasal mucosa, causing congestion and swelling—triggers for allergic rhinitis.
Meanwhile, spring awakens allergens:
Pollen: Plants bloom, releasing airborne pollen that easily enters nasal passages.
Dust mites: Warmer temperatures accelerate mite proliferation in mattresses, carpets, and fabrics.
Year-round allergens: Mold, dust, and pet dander compound risks, sparking flare-ups.
Tips for allergy-free spring outings
Monitor weather and adjust clothing.
Check pollen forecasts; wear masks on high-pollen days.
Avoid known allergens; continue masking.
Skip perfumes/sprays; wear light-colored clothes to deter insects.
Boost immunity: Exercise, sleep well, and eat balanced diets rich in fruits/vegetables.
Rinse nostrils daily with saline to flush allergens.
For seasonal allergy sufferers:
Try Renshu’s
"triple-action" physical therapy (nasal irrigation, nebulization, laser therapy) to cleanse, reduce inflammation, and regulate immunity.
For dust mite allergy sufferers:
Desensitization therapy—the only treatment altering allergy progression via immune modulation—reduces symptoms, minimizes medication, and prevents worsening. Effects persist post-treatment.
For non-mite allergy sufferers:
Consider
"rhinitis injection" therapy, blocking nerve signals to alleviate symptoms. Significant short-term relief lasts 2-3 months per course.
"Allergy debt" is solvable.
Strengthen personal protection,
guard against allergens,
fortify immunity,
and embrace spring’s beauty with ease.
