Another article (with some sensible tips) about using Chinese medicine to help alleviate allergies:

""Chinese medicine considers the organ systems that are associated with allergies, like the lungs, the kidneys, the skin and the spleen— it's also important to look at the patient's lifestyle," said Morgan.

According to Morgan, East Mountains residents may be more likely to suffer chronic allergies due to the wind as well as spicy, fried and dairy-heavy Mexican foods. Morgan said these types of foods cause dampness and phlegm in the body and take a toll on the lung and spleen.
"People with sinus infections may like spicy food because it temporarily clears out the sinuses, but people with a high tolerance for spicy foods might have underlying lung and spleen problems," she said.

Chinese medicine's approach is to begin boosting the immune system the season before allergies hit."
