How to collect wild Chinese herbal medicines for treating rhinitis

Rhinitis is a stubborn minor illness, and it also has a deep connection with the common cold, as they influence each other, occurring together and recurring. Even for initial rhinitis, Western medicine cannot eliminate the root cause within a year, and it easily recurs after stopping the medication, which is very distressing. Chinese herbal medicine for treating rhinitis is different: it can treat the root cause and eliminate it. Many Chinese herbs for treating rhinitis also have characteristics such as being wild and highly potent, such as Schizonepeta tenuifolia (Japanese catnip), licorice, Xanthium sibiricum fruit (cocklebur), and Asarum sieboldii (wild ginger). Wild Chinese herbs are even more effective, so rhinitis patients who collect Chinese herbs and have the conditions to do so can increase the potency by collecting the herbs under the guidance of a treatment formula.
