體型特徵:一般無特殊,或有畸形,或有先天生理缺陷
常見表現:過敏體質者常見哮喘、風團、咽癢、鼻塞、噴嚏等,患遺傳性疾病有垂直遺傳、先天性、家族性特徵;胎傳性疾病為母體影胎兒個體生長發育及相關疾病特徵
心理特徵:因稟質特異情況而不同
發病傾向:過敏體質者易藥物過敏,易患花粉症等;遺傳疾病如血友病,先天愚型等;胎傳疾病如五遲五軟、解顱、胎驚、胎癇等平素易患有陰虧燥熱的病變,或病後易表現為陰虧症狀
過敏體質的內在因素-先天稟賦不足
父母氣血陰陽不足或有偏頗,可通過生殖之精傳遞給後代,出現先天稟賦不足的過敏體質。
環境因素加劇過敏發生
日趨嚴重的環境污染、化學品濫用、輻射、飲食結構中越來越多加工食品,直接間接造成自由基在體內堆積導致過敏發生。
養生法:固表養血祛風
改善體質多吃溫補類食物,雞、鴨等。多食新鮮蔬果。
避免食有致敏物質、寒性、腥膻食物。
保持起居環境清潔,勤換衣被,防止灰塵、塵蟎積聚。
肺主氣,主皮毛。特稟體質者在呼吸系統及皮膚上反映出來的症狀源頭往往在肺臟。黃帝內經指,形體受寒,又飲冷水,兩寒相迫,就會使肺臟受傷,進而發生喘、咳等病變。所以特稟體質者在飲食和身體方面要注意防寒保暖。
當人體自身的防禦調節能力下降,那些平常正常的氣象、氣侯因素,或是微生物也會乘虛侵襲人體,造成人體內在平衡破壞,產生各種疾病。這些致病因素中醫統稱外邪,過敏原也是外邪的一種。適當鍛鍊,加強體內的正氣,削弱或減少接觸外邪,過敏才會遠離我們。"正氣內存,邪不可干"。
天然飲食。選擇無基因改良食物,有機蔬果。不買含不明添加劑,化學合成調味料食品,盡量少食加工食品、罐頭及腌制食品。
Body physique: normal, or might have abnormality, disability
Common traits: People with allergic conditions might have asthma, hives, itchy throat, congested nose, and sneezing. Genetic diseases might be vertically transmitted, inborn, or familial. Might have fetal diseases which are affected by the body of the mother.
Personality traits: different depending on the body situation
Tendency of illness: drug, pollen allergy; genetic diseases such as haemophilia, down syndrome; fetal diseases such as Infantile cerebral palsy, infantile metopism, neonatal hypoglycemia, and fetal seizure. Suffers from Yin deficient and dry illness or becomes yin deficient after getting ill.
Internal cause for allergy: congenital deficiencies
Qi and blood deficiency or unbalance of parents have a possibility of passing down through reproductive essence, which cause congenital allergy.
External cause for allergy: extreme environmental
Pollution, drug abuse, radiation, additives in food all cause the accumulation of free radical atoms and cause allergy.
Health regiment: consolidation exterior, nourishing the blood and dispelling wind pathogen
To improve body constitution, eat warm natured, enriching foods such as chicken, duck meat, fresh fruits.
Avoid allergic, cold natured, fishy or mutton pungent food.
Principles to maintain health:
Maintain a clean and tidy living environment, change cloths frequently, avoid dust and house dust mite.
Lung governs qi, skin and hair. People with special body constitution sometimes has symptoms in the respiratory system and skin, and these symptoms are mainly caused by problems in the lung. In Huandineijing, The Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor, when the body gets cold, and cold water is drank, two cold pathogens attack at the same time, hurting the lung and causing asthma and coughing. For this reason, people with special body constitution should always remember to maintain warmth, both environmentally and in diet.
When the defense and regulatory system of the body weakens, normal climate changes, temperature, and bacteria can invade our body, disrupting the balance within, causing illness. These illnesses are called exogenous pathogenic factors.
Allergy is also one of the exogenous factors. To alleviate allergy, do moderate exercise to strengthen inner healthy Qi and avoid being in contact with exogenous pathogens. These is a saying “When inner healthy Qi is sufficient, no external pathogens can disrupt health”.
Eat natural food, select non-GM products and organic food. Do not consume food with additives chemicals flavorings, and avoid processed, canned or pickled food.
