Hello! I'm Shin Jeong Won, doctor at Tong-in Korean Medicine Clinic.😊
Korea's hot summer has passed (well, maybe still passing😂), and finally, the cool autumn has arrived. But there’s an unwelcome guest every seasonal change — allergies! 🤧
Why Your Allergies Get Worse When the Seasons Change
📌 Airborne Allergens Rise & Immune System Overreacts 🍂🛡️
During seasonal transitions, winds become stronger and humidity decreases.
This makes allergens (substances that cause allergic reactions) like dust mites, mold spores, pollen, and fine dust float more easily in the air.
When these allergens come into contact with the inside of your nose, our body's immune cells mistakenly identify them as 'dangerous invaders' and trigger an overreaction.
The problem here is that in addition to allergy triggers, 'your personal hypersensitivity also plays a role.
Even pollen or dust mites that are harmless to most people can cause excessive immune system activation in individuals with an allergic constitution, generating antibodies and releasing inflammatory substances such as histamine.
As a result, you suffer from symptoms like sneezing, a clear runny nose, itchy eyes and nose, and nasal congestion.
