Exploring the seasonal onset of allergic diseases from the perspective of the " the spleen serves as the guard" theory
Humans are born under the nourishment of heaven and earth qi. The physiological and pathological functions of the human body are influenced by the alternation of cold and heat in the four seasons. Allergic diseases often occur or worsen during seasonal transitions
corresponding to the theory of the spleen dominating the end of the four seasons in traditional Chinese medicine. Splenic dysfunction disrupts the body′s internal clock during seasonal transitions
making it unable to adapt to external climate changes
causing the onset or exacerbation of specific allergic symptoms. The theory of " the spleen serves as the guard" originated from
Huangdi Neijing
which is a succinct summary of the role of the spleen in defending the body against external pathogens. The theory emphasizes that the spleen transports drinks and foods internally to supplement healthy qi
and regulates defensive qi externally to protect the whole body. This theory is closely linked to the seasonal changes in immune function
thereby influencing the seasonal onset of allergic diseases. This paper explores the roles of the spleen in time-based self-regulation and immune defense against seasonal allergic diseases according to the theory of " spleen serves as the grard." The dysfunction of this protective mechanism
which leads to disharmony in nutritive qi and defensive qi
internal production of phlegm-dampness
and zang-fu organs malnutrition
are the key factors causing recurrent and persistent allergic diseases during seasonal transitions. This study provides insights for elucidating the mechanisms behind seasonal allergic disease outbreaks and their prevention.
