Traditional Chinese Medicine's Luffa Formula Reduces Nasal and Ocular Symptoms in Patients with Environmental and Food Allergies

Environmental allergy (EA) often coexists with other inflammatory conditions such as food allergy. It has been previously shown that the Luffa Formula in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) reduces symptoms of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis in a murine model. We conducted a retrospective study on the Luffa Formula ’s effect in reducing EA symptoms among people with comorbid environmental and food allergies, and conducted an in vitro study on IgE production and mast cell activation.
