我观察到春季过敏症状与膀胱和肾脏问题之间存在关联。许多患有慢性鼻窦炎的患者也患有慢性膀胱或肾脏感染，或既往有尿路感染史。 鼻窦和膀胱/肾脏的经络系统是相互关联的。膀胱经的起点位于两眉之间，并延伸至头部、颈部、背部、腿部和脚部。如果膀胱或肾脏存在慢性感染，这些区域的能量可能会减弱，导致鼻窦区域无法有效排出感染和过敏原。 长期存在的鼻窦感染会导致粘液堆积，为感染提供藏身之处，并产生毒素，这些毒素可能穿透血脑屏障，导致脑雾和记忆问题。 一些膀胱或肾脏感染的症状可能在常规尿液检查中无法显示，需要更全面的检测。 为了缓解过敏症状，建议减少或避免食用精制淀粉、牛奶和含麸质的食物。 一些补充剂，如槲皮素、D-组胺和组胺酶，以及中药如穿心莲，可以帮助减少过敏症状。 为了治疗膀胱和肾脏感染，可以使用一些草药，如熊果叶、蔓越莓和D-甘露糖。 中医认为，肾脏和膀胱的情绪与恐惧、厄运感和焦虑有关。处理这些情绪可以帮助改善身体状况。 可以通过情绪自由技巧（EFT）或神经情绪技术（NET）来处理这些情绪。
