Four Chinese herbs for hay fever

When it comes to specific conditions like hay fever, herbs such as peppermint, chamomile and ginger are traditionally used to help ease symptoms. Let's have a look at a few herbs used for hay fever and sinus problems.

1. Xin Yi Hua: This herb is commonly used in Chinese medicine where there is sinus congestion. It is traditionally used to help open the nasal passages and where there is inflammation, making it easier to breathe.

2. Bai Zhi: Bai Zhi is another herb commonly used where there is sinus trouble. It is traditionally used where there is inflammation, pain or pressure in the sinuses.

3. Ju Hua is a type of chrysanthemum flower that has been used in Chinese medicine for centuries for a wide range of conditions, including hay fever. It is traditionally used where there is itching and other allergy symptoms.

4. Gan Cao, also known as licorice root, is a popular herb in Chinese medicine, traditionally used to support the immune system and where there is inflammation in the sinuses, and for hay fever symptoms.
