The Special (allergic) constitution is marked by heightened sensitivity: allergies, reactivity to foods, drugs, smells or pollen, and discomfort when seasons change.
Common Signs
- Allergies: rhinitis, rashes, asthma or similar
- Strong reactions to certain foods, medications or smells
- Feeling unwell when seasons turn
- Skin that itches or hives easily
Eating for This Type
Favor: Simple, clean, consistent meals; foods that support the skin barrier and steady the system — variety introduced gradually.
Go easy on: Known allergens first of all, plus abrupt dietary experiments and highly processed foods with long additive lists.
Lifestyle Direction
Know your triggers and prepare ahead of season changes. Keep living spaces low-dust, introduce new foods one at a time, and consider allergen testing for clarity.
