**Spring has arrived in Melbourne — and for many hay fever sufferers, the hardest part of the season is still ahead. 🌿🤧**

If **October and November are usually your worst months** for sneezing, itchy eyes, runny nose or congestion, now is a good time to start paying attention to the pattern — rather than waiting until symptoms are at their peak.

In Chinese medicine, one concept we look at is **Wei Qi — often translated as “Protective Qi.”**

Think of it like the body’s outer defensive layer.

Wei Qi is traditionally associated with helping the body:
• respond to external changes such as wind and temperature
• support the body surface
• regulate the opening and closing of the pores
• maintain resilience when the seasons change

So why can two people be exposed to the same spring air and pollen, yet react very differently?

Chinese medicine doesn’t treat every case of hay fever as exactly the same.

Some people may also notice patterns such as:
• symptoms that worsen with wind or sudden weather changes
• frequent sneezing or clear nasal discharge
• tiredness or low energy
• feeling unusually sensitive to cold or drafts
• recurrent seasonal symptoms year after year
• digestive weakness alongside their allergy symptoms

These differences can help guide an individual Chinese medicine assessment.

🌱 **And timing matters.**

Melbourne’s main grass-pollen season has not yet reached its usual peak.

**If you already know that October and November are difficult months for you, September is a sensible time to start looking at your individual pattern and preparing for the season ahead.**

At **Blessing Greens Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture**, treatment is tailored to the person rather than using the same approach for every hay fever sufferer.

Depending on your presentation, treatment may include **Chinese medicine assessment, acupuncture and herbal medicine**.

**Don’t wait until every windy spring day becomes a battle with your nose and eyes.**

If hay fever returns for you every spring, this may be a good time to have your pattern assessed and discuss what support may be appropriate for you.

**同樣是墨爾本的春天,為什麼有些人安然無恙,有些人一遇到花粉、風吹或天氣轉變,就開始眼癢、鼻塞、打噴嚏、流鼻水?🌿🤧**🌱 **現在才剛踏入 9 月,墨爾本主要草花粉季尚未到高峰。****如果你每年 10–11 月都特別辛苦,現在正是開始...

**同樣是墨爾本的春天,為什麼有些人安然無恙,有些人一遇到花粉、風吹或天氣轉變,就開始眼癢、鼻塞、打噴嚏、流鼻水?🌿🤧**

🌱 **現在才剛踏入 9 月,墨爾本主要草花粉季尚未到高峰。**
**如果你每年 10–11 月都特別辛苦,現在正是開始了解自己的體質、做好春季調理的好時機。**

除了外面的花粉,**身體本身的「防線」亦很重要。**

中醫把這一道守護人體、抵禦外邪的力量稱為——**「衛氣」**。

《黃帝內經》有云:
**「衛者,水穀之悍氣也。」**

你可以把「衛氣」想像成圖中的 **萬里長城**。

長城穩固,外邪較難乘虛而入;如果防線較弱,一遇到春季的風、花粉、早晚溫差,身體便可能更容易出現反應。

從中醫理論來說,衛氣有 **防禦外邪、溫養肌表、調節腠理開闔** 的作用,而衛氣的充養,亦與 **肺、脾等臟腑功能** 有密切關係。

所以,同樣身處花粉環境,為什麼有些人反應較少,有些人卻每逢春季反覆發作?
中醫除了處理當下的鼻癢、鼻塞、流鼻水、眼癢等症狀,也會進一步了解每個人的 **體質及整體狀態**。

如果你經常有以下情況,就值得多留意自己的體質:

* 一到春天便容易鼻癢、鼻塞、流清鼻水、打噴嚏
* 眼睛痕癢、流眼水
* 吹風、天氣轉涼便容易發作
* 平時容易怕風、反覆感冒
* 容易疲倦、氣短、精神不足
* 同時有脾胃較弱、食慾或消化問題

從中醫辨證角度,部分人可見 **肺衛不固、脾氣不足、風邪犯肺** 等不同表現,因此並不是所有花粉症都用同一種方法調理。

🌿 **春季如何養護「衛氣」?**

**1️⃣ 防風保暖**
墨爾本春天天氣忽冷忽熱,早晚溫差較大。外出可帶備薄外套或圍巾,尤其注意後頸及上背保暖。

**2️⃣ 少吃過量生冷**
脾胃是氣血化生的重要來源。體質偏虛的人,長期大量冰飲、生冷食物,未必有利於脾胃運化。

**3️⃣ 睡眠充足,避免過度疲勞**
長期睡眠不足、壓力大或過度疲勞,都可能令身體在季節轉變時更難適應。

**4️⃣ 不要等到症狀最嚴重才開始處理**
與其每年等到鼻水不停、眼睛痕癢、噴嚏連連才處理,不如趁花粉季尚未到高峰,先了解自己的體質及容易反覆發作的原因。

根據個人的症狀與體質,中醫可從不同方向辨證,再按需要配合 **針灸、中藥及其他中醫調理方法**。

昨天我們談的是 **「花粉症」**;
今天想讓大家認識的,就是守在身體外圍的這一道防線——

# # **「衛氣」**

**如果你幾乎每年一到春天都會鼻敏感、眼癢、打噴嚏,與其等到 10–11 月症狀明顯才處理,不妨趁現在先了解自己的體質,為接下來的花粉季做好準備。🌿**

🌸 Spring is beautiful… until hay fever arrives. 🤧

The sun is warmer, flowers are opening, and Melbourne is finally moving into spring.

For some people, though, the first signs of spring mean something else:

Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!

Runny nose. Blocked nose. Itchy eyes. Scratchy throat. Head pressure. Poor sleep. Feeling tired and foggy all day.

Sound familiar?

Hay fever can be more than an occasional sneeze. For some people it returns every spring, interferes with sleep, makes work harder, and turns a beautiful day outdoors into something they would rather avoid.

Why does one person enjoy the flowers… while another starts sneezing?

Pollen is an important trigger, but from a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, we also look at how your individual body responds to those triggers.

Two people can both have “hay fever” and still present very differently.

One person may have:
🌿 frequent sneezing and clear watery discharge
🌿 symptoms that flare with wind or cold mornings

Another may experience:
🌿 persistent nasal congestion
🌿 a heavy head and tiredness
🌿 mucus or a feeling of “blocked up”

Others may mainly have:
🌿 intensely itchy nose, eyes or throat
🌿 red or watery eyes
🌿 irritation that becomes worse outdoors

In TCM, these different presentations may be understood through patterns involving the Lung and defensive Qi, external Wind, or sometimes underlying Spleen weakness and Dampness.

Put simply:

TCM doesn’t only ask, “Do you have hay fever?”
It asks, “What does YOUR hay fever look like?”

That difference matters when choosing treatment.

🌿 How may Chinese medicine support you?

At Blessing Greens Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture, treatment is tailored to your symptoms and constitution.

Depending on your presentation, your consultation may include:

Acupuncture
Treatment may focus on easing nasal congestion, sneezing and associated discomfort.

Chinese herbal medicine
Herbal prescriptions are individually selected rather than using the same formula for everyone.

Lifestyle guidance
We can also discuss practical strategies around pollen exposure, sleep, diet and seasonal changes.

Before deciding on a treatment approach, we may ask:

✔️ Is your nose blocked or constantly running?
✔️ Is the discharge clear or thick?
✔️ Are mornings worse?
✔️ Does wind or cold air trigger your symptoms?
✔️ Are your eyes itchy or watery?
✔️ Do you also feel tired, heavy-headed or poorly rested?

These details help us understand your particular pattern, not just the label “hay fever”.

🌸 Spring has only just started.

If you already know what usually happens next — weeks of tissues, sneezing, blocked nights and itchy eyes — you don’t necessarily have to wait until your symptoms are at their worst before seeking help.

If hay fever comes back every spring, now may be a good time to have your symptoms assessed and discuss whether acupuncture and/or Chinese herbal medicine may be suitable for you.

🌸 春天來了,你的鼻敏感也跟住來?🤧

別人去公園賞花、聞花香,
你卻是——

「啊……啊……噴嚏!」
一個接一個,鼻水不停、鼻塞、眼癢,甚至成日覺得頭重、攰、無精神?

墨爾本已經踏入春天。隨着花粉增加、風較盛,加上早晚溫差仍然明顯,對鼻敏感人士來說,又可能是一年之中最容易發作的時間。

你是否每逢轉季都會出現:

🌿 連續打噴嚏,尤其朝早或出門後
💧 清鼻水不停,紙巾不離手
👃 鼻塞、鼻癢,晚上甚至影響睡眠
👀 眼癢、眼紅、流眼水
😣 喉嚨痕、鼻腔不舒服
😵‍💫 頭重、頭痛、精神難集中
🥱 鼻敏感一發作,整個人特別疲倦

很多人會覺得:

「花粉敏感啫,忍到春天過咗就算。」

但如果你是 每年差不多時間都會發作,而且一次又一次反覆,中醫會問多一步:

🌿 為什麼同樣有花粉,有些人沒事,你卻特別容易發作?

從中醫角度,鼻敏感並不是所有人都屬於同一個情況。

常見可以見到:

① 肺氣、衛氣不足
較容易受風及外界刺激影響,轉天氣或一出門便打噴嚏、流清鼻水,亦可能比較怕風、容易疲倦。

② 脾虛夾痰濕
除了鼻塞、鼻水之外,亦可能容易頭重、身體困倦、胃口一般或有痰濕表現。

③ 風寒犯肺
清鼻水較多、噴嚏頻密、遇冷風或早晚寒涼時特別明顯。

④ 風熱犯肺
鼻癢、眼癢、喉癢較突出,有些人會伴眼紅或鼻腔較乾熱不舒服。

👉 所以,同樣一句「我有鼻敏感」,中醫的處理方向未必人人一樣。

治療上會按實際體質及症狀辨證,常見思路包括:

🌱 益氣固表——改善反覆、容易受外界刺激的體質
🌱 宣肺通竅——針對鼻塞、鼻水、噴嚏等鼻部不適
🌱 健脾化濕——適合兼有痰濕、頭重、疲倦等表現
🌱 疏風散邪——因應偏風寒或風熱的表現作調整

部分體質虛、反覆發作人士,臨床上亦可能考慮 玉屏風散一類的益氣固表思路;但實際用方及加減需要按個人體質辨證,並不是見鼻敏感便人人用同一條方。

🌿 康恩中醫可以怎樣幫你?

我們會先了解你的:

✔️ 鼻水是清還是較黏?
✔️ 鼻塞還是鼻癢為主?
✔️ 早上、晚上還是出門後最嚴重?
✔️ 怕風、怕冷嗎?
✔️ 有沒有眼癢、頭重、疲倦?
✔️ 睡眠、消化及整體體質如何?

再按情況配合 針灸、中藥及日常調護,而不是只看到「鼻敏感」三個字便全部用同一方法。

💚 如果你每年一到春天就開始鼻水、鼻塞、噴嚏不停,與其又捱完整個花粉季,不妨趁現在春季剛開始,先了解一下自己的體質和鼻敏感屬於哪一種情況。

尤其如果已經:

鼻塞影響睡眠|噴嚏鼻水反覆不停|工作時難集中|每逢轉季必定發作

就更值得及早處理。

🌸 不要等到鼻敏感最嚴重時,才想起要調理。

**成日怕凍、容易攰、朝早起身都冇乜精神?
未必只係「休息唔夠」咁簡單。☀️**
《黃帝內經》有云:**「陽氣者,若天與日。」**
中醫認為,陽氣就好似身體入面嘅太陽,具有**溫煦、推動、防禦、固攝**等作用,幫助身體維持正常運作同活力。
如果你經常出現:
• 手腳冰冷、容易怕凍
• 朝早難起身、精神不足
• 容易疲倦、恢復得慢
• 消化功能反覆
• 天氣一轉就特別容易覺得不舒服
都可以值得從中醫體質角度再了解一下。
不過,**怕冷、疲倦並唔等於一定係「陽虛」**。
同一個症狀,背後原因可以完全不同。
中醫會按**舌象、脈象、睡眠、消化、情緒及整體體質**作辨證,再決定適合你嘅調理方向。
🌿 **養陽,並唔係一味進補。**
真正重要嘅係:先了解自己嘅體質,再用適合自己嘅方法調理。
如果你近排總覺得自己
**「唔夠暖、唔夠精神、唔夠力、恢復得慢」**,
與其自己估、自己補,不如先好好了解身體正在告訴你甚麼。

🌸 Spring is here — a beautiful time to refresh body and mind.

September marks the beginning of spring in Melbourne. As the weather becomes warmer, the days grow brighter and blossoms return, our bodies are also adjusting to a new season.

In Chinese medicine, spring is traditionally associated with movement, renewal and the smooth flow of energy. Seasonal care may focus on supporting emotional balance, digestion, energy and respiratory wellbeing while the body adapts from the colder months.

Spring can also bring more pollen and environmental triggers. If you’ve been noticing sneezing, nasal congestion, tiredness, digestive changes, stress or feeling generally out of balance, this may be a good time to pay a little more attention to your wellbeing.

Simple habits can help: keep moving gently, maintain regular sleep, choose lighter balanced meals, and remember that Melbourne mornings and evenings can still be cool. Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can also be tailored to the individual as part of seasonal wellbeing care.

🌿 A new season is a chance to reset, rebalance and move forward with renewed energy.

🌿 **處暑到了,但墨爾本不是進入秋天——反而正由冬末慢慢走向春天。**

這亦是我們做「二十四節氣・南半球對應」時最重要的一點:
**節氣可以參考,但養生一定要看我們身處的實際季節。**

傳統「處暑」代表北半球暑氣漸退、天氣開始轉涼;但在墨爾本,現在仍是冬末,早晚偏冷,日照逐漸增加,植物開始萌動,身體亦正由冬季的「收藏」慢慢過渡到春季的「升發」。

所以這段時間,我們會較接近參考 **「雨水」前後的養生方向**。
這裡的「雨水」並不是說墨爾本現在一定多雨或濕重,而是用北半球相近的**冬末 → 初春季節階段**作參考。

今期我會特別留意四個方向:

🌿 **溫護陽氣**
早晚仍涼,頸背、腹部及足部不要太早受寒。天氣偶爾變暖,也不要一下子穿得太單薄。

🌿 **健脾和胃**
冬末轉春,飲食宜溫和、容易消化;少食過量生冷、冰凍及油膩食物,讓脾胃有足夠力量配合季節轉變。

🌿 **護肺防敏**
風開始增多、氣溫變化較大,加上植物逐漸開花,容易鼻敏感的人可能開始出現打噴嚏、流鼻水、鼻塞、眼癢;亦有人仍有冬季留下來的咳嗽或喉嚨不適。

🌿 **疏展氣機・調暢情志**
春氣漸萌,中醫亦開始更重視氣機舒展。適量散步、伸展、多接觸晨光,保持作息和心情舒暢,都比一味「冬藏」更合適。

這段時間有些人會開始發現:

• 手腳仍然偏冷
• 鼻敏感、打噴嚏或流鼻水反覆
• 咳嗽拖得比較久
• 容易疲倦、精神不足
• 肩頸腰背繃緊
• 胃口差、食後腹脹
• 情緒較容易鬱悶、煩躁或提不起勁

這些表現不一定每個人都有相同原因。
**中醫較重視的是:為甚麼同一個季節,有些人沒事,有些人卻每年都在相同時間反覆出現問題?**

有時候,真正需要處理的不是單一症狀,而是背後的體質、氣血、臟腑功能及季節適應能力。

🍲 **今期日常湯水:淮山蓮子芡實、茯苓陳皮瘦肉湯**

淮山、蓮子、芡實及茯苓以健脾和胃、益氣調中為主,加入少量陳皮理氣和胃,整體較平和,適合冬末初春作一般家庭調養。

早晚較冷時,可加 **2–3 片生薑**。

不過養生湯並不是人人完全相同;如果本身容易口乾燥熱、便秘、胃腸敏感,或正在生病,仍應按個人體質作調整。

🌱 **季節在變,身體也在變。**

如果你發現自己每逢轉季就容易鼻敏感、咳嗽、疲倦、腸胃不適、肩頸腰背繃緊,或者總覺得身體很難適應天氣變化,可以考慮做一次較完整的中醫體質評估,再決定是否適合以針灸、中藥或生活調理作個別處理。

Why does the Chinese calendar say “Start of Autumn” when Melbourne is still in winter? 🌿This is where the 24 Solar Terms...
09/08/2026

Why does the Chinese calendar say “Start of Autumn” when Melbourne is still in winter? 🌿

This is where the 24 Solar Terms become especially interesting for those of us living in the Southern Hemisphere.

The traditional Chinese solar terms developed within the seasonal and agricultural climate of the Northern Hemisphere. So although the traditional calendar has now entered Liqiu 立秋 — Start of Autumn, Melbourne is actually still in late winter, gradually moving towards spring.

That means we shouldn’t simply copy Northern Hemisphere seasonal advice. Instead, we can adapt the principles of Chinese medicine to what is actually happening around us here in Melbourne.

At this time of year, the mornings and evenings can still be cold, but daylight is gradually increasing and nature is beginning to shift. In TCM terms, this is a transition from the deeper “storage” of winter towards the gradual movement and renewal associated with spring.

So our wellness focus can also begin to change.

🌿 Gently support Yang
Keep warm, especially around the neck, abdomen and feet. Even when the afternoons feel milder, Melbourne mornings and evenings can still be quite cold.

🌿 Encourage gentle movement
Walking, stretching and light outdoor activity can help the body gradually move out of its winter “hibernation” phase and support healthy circulation and Qi movement.

🌿 Protect the lungs from wind and cold
Late winter and early spring can be a difficult period for people prone to hay fever, sneezing, runny nose, throat irritation or lingering cough.

🌿 Support digestion and reduce Dampness
Warm, cooked and easy-to-digest meals are generally more suitable than excessive cold, raw or greasy foods during this transitional period.

You may also notice things such as cold hands and feet, low energy, nasal sensitivity, lingering cough, neck or shoulder tightness, poor appetite or bloating. In Chinese medicine, we look at these symptoms together with the individual person’s overall constitution rather than treating every person in exactly the same way.

🍲 A gentle seasonal soup idea

Chicken soup with Goji Berries, Red Dates, Chinese Yam & Cordyceps Flower

This is a mild nourishing soup traditionally used to support Qi and Blood, the Spleen and Liver, while providing gentle nourishment during the transition from late winter into early spring.

You can add 2–3 slices of ginger or a little dried tangerine peel according to taste and constitution.

The key at this time of year is balance:
don’t rush into “spring mode” too quickly, but don’t remain completely in winter mode either.

Stay warm, move a little more, enjoy the returning daylight, eat well and allow your body to adjust gradually with the season. 🌱

If you enjoy practical Chinese medicine and seasonal wellness tips for life in Melbourne, follow Blessing Greens Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture for more.

And if hay fever, lingering cough, fatigue, digestive discomfort, neck or back tension, or sensitivity to cold keeps returning, individual Chinese medicine or acupuncture treatment may help us look more closely at the underlying pattern.

🍃 立秋時節,墨爾本點樣養生?南半球可參考「立春」方向8 月 7 日後,傳統二十四節氣進入「立秋」。在北半球,「立秋」代表夏季逐漸走向秋季,暑氣開始慢慢收斂。但我們身處墨爾本,眼前的季節卻完全不同——八月仍在冬末,早晚氣溫偏低,寒意未退,但...

🍃 立秋時節,墨爾本點樣養生?南半球可參考「立春」方向

8 月 7 日後,傳統二十四節氣進入「立秋」。

在北半球,「立秋」代表夏季逐漸走向秋季,暑氣開始慢慢收斂。但我們身處墨爾本,眼前的季節卻完全不同——八月仍在冬末,早晚氣溫偏低,寒意未退,但日照開始逐漸增加,植物亦慢慢出現萌動、生長的跡象。

所以,在南半球生活,談二十四節氣養生時,不能只是把北半球的季節內容原封不動搬過來。

**二十四節氣是在中國古代北半球的農耕與氣候背景中逐步形成的傳統時間系統;節氣本身則以太陽在黃道上的位置來劃分。** 因此,同一個「立秋」日期,在墨爾本並不代表本地真正進入秋季。實際養生仍然要觀察我們身處的**氣溫、日照、風、濕度以及季節變化**。

從這個角度看,墨爾本八月上旬的自然環境,反而更接近北半球「立春」前後的養生思路:

**寒氣未完全退,陽氣卻開始慢慢升發。**

所以這段時間的重點,不再只是深冬時期一味「藏」和「保暖」,亦不宜太快進入春夏式的清涼飲食,而是要在保護陽氣的同時,讓身體慢慢由冬季的收藏狀態走向春季的舒展。

# # # 🌿 這段時間可以留意四個方向:

1. **溫養陽氣**
冬末仍然有寒意,尤其早晨和晚上較冷。頸背、腹部和足部仍要注意保暖,不宜因為日間偶爾有陽光便太早減衣受寒。

2. **疏展氣機**
隨着日照增加,陽氣開始有升發之象。可增加散步、伸展及溫和活動,保持心情舒暢,讓氣血慢慢活動起來,而不是整天久坐不動。

3. **護肺防風**
冬末初春往往氣候變化較大,風亦可能增加。對本身容易鼻敏感、打噴嚏、流鼻水、咳嗽或喉嚨不適的人,更應注意保暖及呼吸道護理。

4. **健脾祛濕**
墨爾本冬季寒濕未完全退去,如果再大量食用冰冷飲品、生冷食物或過多油膩食物,容易增加脾胃負擔。飲食可保持溫和、熟食、易消化,幫助脾胃運化。

這段時間,有些人仍可能出現**手腳冰冷、鼻敏感、咳嗽未清、肩頸腰背緊、疲倦、精神不足、胃口差或腹脹**;但與深冬相比,又可能開始感覺精神稍有改善、比較想活動,這正是冬末向初春轉變時常見的感覺。

# # # 🍲 日常湯水|枸杞紅棗淮山蟲草花雞湯

這次可以選擇一款比較溫和、不過分厚補的湯水:

**枸杞紅棗淮山蟲草花雞湯**

整體方向以**益氣養血、健脾養肝、溫和滋養**為主,適合作為冬末初春的日常調養。

淮山偏於益氣養陰、補脾肺腎;紅棗可作健脾益氣、養血的日常食材;枸杞偏於滋養肝腎;蟲草花則可作溫和滋養之品,配雞肉煲湯,味道亦較容易讓一家人接受。

一般約 **3–4 人份**,乾蟲草花約 **8–12 g** 已經足夠,不需要放得太多。天氣較冷或本身較怕冷,可加入 **2–3 片生薑**;若容易胃脹、食滯,亦可加**少許陳皮**。

不過,中醫食療並不是「人人同一款」。如果正在發燒、急性感冒、喉嚨明顯紅痛,或本身容易燥熱、消化功能較弱,食材的選擇和份量仍應按個人體質作調整。

🌱 **冬末不是一下子就變成春天。**
墨爾本這個時候最重要的,正是掌握這個「寒未盡、陽漸升」的過渡期——**既不要過早貪涼,也不要一味厚補;溫養之中帶一點疏展,才更符合季節的變化。**

如果近期鼻敏感反覆、咳嗽未清、特別怕冷、疲倦,或肩頸腰背不適比較明顯,可先從日常保暖、飲食、睡眠及活動習慣開始調整;如症狀持續或反覆,則可再按個人體質作進一步評估及調理。

**以上內容只作一般中醫養生資訊參考,並不能取代個別診斷及醫療建議。實際調理需按個人體質及健康狀況而定。**
