Summary
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is an IgE mediated chronic inflammatory disease of the upper airways
characterized by symptoms of sneezing, rhinorrhea, nasal itching, and nasal obstruction .
However, not only this disease is difficult to cure, but also its relapse rate is high,
therefore exerting a certain impact on their daily life, work and study. Nowadays, the main
treatment for allergic rhinitis is the use of western medicine, such as steroids and
antihistamines. However, many clinical studies have found that the curative effect of western
medicine is often not ideal.
Allergic rhinitis belongs to the category of "Rhinitis" in Chinese medicine. From the
perspective of Chinese medicine, this disease is resulted from the deficiency of Qi and Yang
Qi in the lungs, spleen and kidneys. Therefore, according to Chinese medicine theory,
tonifying lung and spleen qi is the treatment principle for AR patients. Among different
Chinese herbal formulae for AR, Yupingfeng san is commonly used for allergic diseases and in
AR patients, due to its warm nature and able to improve the functions of the lungs and
spleen. Yupingfeng san can improve symptoms and quality of life, as well as decrease the
levels of interleukin and IgE in AR patients. This study will use Yupingfeng Powder with
variation to evaluate its effectiveness and safety in treating AR. Hence, this study would be
able to provide evidence on the efficacy and safety of Yupingfeng Powder with variation for
AR.
