Asthma is a chronic disease in which the bronchial airways in the lungs become narrowed and swollen, making it difficult to breathe. Some people develop asthma in early childhood; others acquire it later on in life. Some people find it difficult to inhale while others have problem with exhale.

Asthma Symptoms

• Wheezing
• Coughing
• Tightness in the chest
• Shortness of breath
• Rapid breathing

Acupuncture Treatment for Asthma

According to TCM the difficulty in breathing connected to inhaling is related to kidneys condition and function while the breathing connected to difficulty in exhaling is related to spleen and pancreatic gland condition and function.

Japanese medical diagnosis allows the practitioner to identify which organs and systems are involved during thorough palpation of the body reflex zones. Then the acupuncture treatment protocol is tailored for a individual needs of the patient.

Acupuncture needles applied during the acupuncture session can help to release the diaphragm and eliminate the pain and tightness in the chest as well as ease the breathing by balancing, supporting or releasing the organs and systems need to be helped.

Acupuncturist is able to prevent asthma from further development that’ s why our patients prefer to have a maintenance acupuncture session every four weeks.

Clinical Relevance

Acupuncture helps you to get rid of asthma and reduce drugs intake. By balancing the organs related to development of asthma, acupuncturist is able to preserve your health and happiness. The organs that are often involved in initiating asthma are lungs, spleen, liver and kidneys. How to keep lungs healthy you can learn by reading pages 70-78, spleen – on pages 95-107, liver – on pages 83-93; and how to protect health of your kidneys you can read on pages 108-122 in my book, Your MindBody Alliance & The Truth About Acupuncture.

Our clinical experience shows that people who are not educated in anatomy and physiology are not aware of how to preserve their health. The lack of knowledge and understanding how mind and body correlate leads people to feel out of control over their own health. Reading this book everyone becomes knowledgeable enough to withstand any body health problem and preserve one’s health.
