According to TCM, allergic rhinitis is due to an invasion of External Wind Cold or Heat (exopathogens) with an underlying Lung Qi deficiency that in some cases is further complicated by the deficiency of the Spleen or Kidney.

Lung Qi Deficiency
Deficiency of the lungs can be attributed to genetics, chronic lung disease, and excessive or insufficient exercise. The Lung Qi is further affected by emotions of grief or sadness. In TCM, persons with deficient Lung Qi can also suffer from a deficiency of Defensive Qi (Wei Qi) and thus be susceptible to External Wind (exopathogens). Typical symptoms include physical and mental fatigue, apathy, sweating with minimal exertion, and an inclination to catch colds.

Spleen Qi Deficiency
In TCM, the functioning of the Spleen is impaired by over-thinking, poor eating habits, and the consumption of foods that contribute to "dampness" and "phlegm" within the body. Foods that can aggravate the digestive system are greasy, fried, spicy and cold foods, as well as sweets, dairy products and alcohol. Strong fumes such as cigarette smoke can also irritate the nasal passages and contribute to more nasal congestion.
