General 

The symptoms of allergies are caused by two sources as seen by Traditional Chinese Medicine:  

 1.An attack of the Biao (skin surface) by the Wind (itching sensation).  
 2.The accumulation of Re Du (toxic heat) internally.  

The severe stress caused by the itchiness (Wind) pushes the horse to wound and self-mutilate. The itching is often accompanied by papules (hives) and may be also seen as irritation of the eyes and upper airways as found in hay fever or sinusitis that is not caused by the presence of heat in the gall bladder. 

Poor nutrition is the cause of internal toxic heat (Re Du). The heat is found in horses eating poor quality foods filled with chemical additives. 

Note: The presence of Re Du is one of the three conditions (also Xie Qi and Qi Zhi) corresponding to the appearance of cancer. It is important to carefully treat cases where Re Du is present.
