- Hay fever/ Seasonal allergies
- Sneezing, runny nose
- Itchy/ dry throat and eyes

How can Chinese Medicine help with Hay Fever or Sinus Conditions?
Chinese Medicine for hay fever, sinus, cold flu and allergies has successfully been used for thousands of years and continues to do so today. It works by unblocking energy channels, eliminating cold, toxins, wind and boosting the immune system. A 2023 study showed Chinese herbal medicine reached a 97% effectiveness rate, with only 24% recurrence.
Treatment methods offered at GinSen are powerful, safe, gentle and natural. Adopting a holistic approach with every treatment Chinese Medicine aims to help hay fever and sinus at its root. Giving you the chance to heal, strengthen, balance and harmonise body, mind, and spirit without the use of strong medication. Chinese Medicine works by re-balancing internal organs that are most closely related to your immune system and digestive system.

Year Round Wellness With GinSen
Each season brings unique challenges for the immune system from spring hay fever to winter colds. At GinSen, we use Traditional Chinese Medicine to support your health through every seasonal shift, helping you stay balanced and resilient all year round.
Liver & Allergies
Spring is associated with the Liver system, which helps regulate the body’s energy flow. When this flow is blocked it is often due to pollen allergies or stress and symptoms like sneezing and congestion can worsen.
Common Issues:
- Hay fever / pollen allergies

Heart & Digestion
In Chinese Medicine, Summer is connected to the Heart and Spleen. Too much heat or dampness in the body often from hot weather or eating cold/raw foods can affect your digestion, energy levels, and even lead to “summer colds.”
