Pollens’ prevalence in the spring and early summer gives rise to various allergic conditions, including allergic rhinitis, which causes distress for many people. Several simple traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) acupressure techniques and medicinal diets can be implemented to improve and alleviate the symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis.
