Rhinitis triggers include mould spores, animal hair, house dust and mites: hay fever is usually caused by pollen from trees, grasses and plants.  Breathing in any of these may cause an allergic reaction, prompting the body to produce histamine, which causes inflammation, increased mucus and congestion.

Traditional Chinese Medicine usually treats hay fever by a combination of acupuncture and Chinese herbs.  The programme, ideally begun before the onset of the pollen season, is formulated specifically for each patient.
