But often, it is the body's response. In TCVM, allergies represent a state of excess Heat and Yang in the body - the immune system is running too hot and overreacting when allergens appear. Over time, that excess Heat burns off the body's Yin (fluids), and Dampness accumulates, showing up as redness, greasy or \"gooey\" skin, paw licking, odor, ear discharge, and nighttime itching. The Liver governs the smooth flow of Qi through the body; when Liver Qi becomes stagnant and generates Heat, the skin bears the consequences. Understanding this pattern helps choose the right support - rather than chasing individual symptoms, Clear AllerQi addresses the underlying Heat and Dampness driving the allergic response.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhen to Use Clear AllerQi\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAllergy season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps the body stay comfortable when pollen, grasses, and mold trigger flare-ups.

Mild or newly developed cases may show improvement within a few weeks. Pets who have been allergic for years - running hot, reacting to multiple triggers, with established Heat and Dampness patterns - typically need 2-3 months before significant changes become visible.

For true seasonal allergies, start 2-3 months before the usual flare-up window so the herbs can cool Heat, clear Dampness, and support the immune response before triggers arrive - seasonal use may be enough. For pets who have been itchy for years or who react to many different triggers, the body is often in a constant hypersensitive state, and longer daily use creates the deepest rebalancing. Those pets may need daily herbs and cooling foods for many months, sometimes year-round, until the system becomes more resilient, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eCan I use Clear AllerQi with allergy medications?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eYes.

If your pet has seasonal allergies, use Clear AllerQi during allergy season and consider Support Immunity during non-allergy periods when immune building is the goal, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2022-05-20T17:53:21-05:00","created_at":"2022-05-11T07:52:25-05:00","vendor":"Herbsmith","type":"Pet Vitamins \u0026 Supplements","tags":["Health_Need_Allergies","Health_Need_Immune","Herb_Type_Powder","Herb_Type_Tablets","No_Authorization_Required","Product_Type_Herb","Species_Cat","Species_Dog","Vendor_Herbsmith"],"price":2999,"price_min":2999,"price_max":12839,"available":true,"price_varies":true,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":40051882360902,"title":"Powder \/ 75 g Powder -

But often, it is the body's response. In TCVM, allergies represent a state of excess Heat and Yang in the body - the immune system is running too hot and overreacting when allergens appear. Over time, that excess Heat burns off the body's Yin (fluids), and Dampness accumulates, showing up as redness, greasy or \"gooey\" skin, paw licking, odor, ear discharge, and nighttime itching. The Liver governs the smooth flow of Qi through the body; when Liver Qi becomes stagnant and generates Heat, the skin bears the consequences. Understanding this pattern helps choose the right support - rather than chasing individual symptoms, Clear AllerQi addresses the underlying Heat and Dampness driving the allergic response.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhen to Use Clear AllerQi\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAllergy season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps the body stay comfortable when pollen, grasses, and mold trigger flare-ups.

Hot spots are a sign that the body's immune response is overreacting and the skin is overheating - in TCVM, excess Heat in the Liver channel manifesting at the skin surface. Clear AllerQi addresses that root Heat pattern, helping cool the skin and reduce the inflammatory response that drives hot spot formation, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWill this work for food allergies?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eYes, though the most important step for food allergies is identifying and eliminating the offending ingredient. While you work to pinpoint the allergen through an elimination diet, Clear AllerQi can help cool the skin and calm the overreaction. For pets whose gut is also affected, pairing Clear AllerQi with GastroCare can help ease ongoing digestive inflammation caused by the allergen, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhen can I expect to see results?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eIt depends on how long the allergy pattern has been developing. Mild or newly developed cases may show improvement within a few weeks. Pets who have been allergic for years - running hot, reacting to multiple triggers, with established Heat and Dampness patterns - typically need 2-3 months before significant changes become visible. The herbs build in the system gradually, cooling Heat and clearing Dampness over time. Most pets with chronic allergies benefit from using the allergy regimen for a year or more, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eDo I need to use Clear AllerQi year-round?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eIt depends on your pet's allergy history. For true seasonal allergies, start 2-3 months before the usual flare-up window so the herbs can cool Heat, clear Dampness, and support the immune response before triggers arrive - seasonal use may be enough. For pets who have been itchy for years or who react to many different triggers, the body is often in a constant hypersensitive state, and longer daily use creates the deepest rebalancing. Those pets may need daily herbs and cooling foods for many months, sometimes year-round, until the system becomes more resilient, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eCan I use Clear AllerQi with allergy medications?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eYes. Clear AllerQi supports the body's underlying response and pairs well with conventional therapies including antihistamines and steroids. Use caution with concurrent Cyclosporin (Atopica) - consult your veterinarian before combining, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHow is Clear Herbsmith AllerQi different from Herbsmith Support Immunity?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThese formulas address different patterns and should not be combined. Support Immunity uses Qi-tonifying herbs (Astragalus, Codonopsis) to strengthen and build the immune system - it is warming and building in nature. Clear AllerQi uses Heat-clearing and Dampness-draining herbs to cool an overactive, overheated immune response - it is cooling and draining in nature. Using both together would work at cross purposes. If your pet has seasonal allergies, use Clear AllerQi during allergy season and consider Support Immunity during non-allergy periods when immune building is the goal, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
