A Chinese medicine expert has revealed the ultimate allergy relief remedy that unlike 'western' medication has 'no side effects'
Nina Cheng who is the founder of The Eastern Philosophy - a small business that specialized in herbal medicines - showed off the remedies that can help you 'relieve a stuffy nose without the side effects of pharmaceuticals'
She captioned the clip: 'Traditional Chinese medicine has some of the best remedies for nasal congestion, developing all-herbal formulas as well as acupressure solutions to relieve a stuffy nose without the side effects of pharmaceuticals.
'As far back as the Warring State's period (400-250 BC), Chinese medicine physicians had already developed a solid understanding of nasal congestion, or rhinitis.
'The medical text Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon attributes rhinitis to "exterior cold and wind" disrupting the immune system, combined with "interior heat," also known as inflammation.
'Herbal remedies for nasal congestion focus on mitigating inflammation in the nose and globally, as well as restoring normal circulation and regulating the immune system. TCM herbal formulas for nasal congestion are designed to address specific constitutional types, and are rarely one-size-fits-all.
'Two of the most well-known formulas for nasal congestion are Bi Yan Pian and Pe Min Gan, targeting different constitutions: those with watery, clear or white nasal mucus will benefit more from Pe Min Gan, while those with thicker, yellow mucus (signaling a stronger inflammatory immune reaction) should select Bi Yan Pian. We also have capsules and an allergy tea.'
At the beginning of the clip, she said: 'Did you know that Magnolia flowers are one of the best remedies for nasal congestion in Chinese culture?'
She then noted that 'unlike Western remedies,' this herbal formula has zero side effects and 'no withdrawal symptoms.'
Then she began by explaining the herbal formulas that work the best.

'Two of the most well-known formulas for nasal congestion are Bi Yan Pian and Pe Min Gan, targeting different constitutions,' she shared
'In terms of herbal formulas, one of the most effective herbal pairings is the combination of cocklebur fruit and Magnolia flower bud.
'They have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anti-allergy properties, and they're the main herbal ingredients,' she said as she showed two supplements that contained the ingredients.
Nina then once again broke down what will prove to be most effective depending on what color your mucus is.
'Those with watery or clear mucus will benefit most from BMIN GUN, while those with thicker yellow mucus should use BNP,' she added.
At the end of the clip, Nina also shared another way you can clear your sinuses and get some allergy relief.
She suggested that people on the web use a Gua Sha, which is a tool used in traditional Chinese medicine that helps you heal when you strove it along your skin.
Nina recommend you use a Gua Sha 'an inch above your hairline' to find allergy relief.
