Acupuncture for asthma

Breathing freely again

Acupuncture is often used to help asthma, which seems to be an increasingly common problem for many people.  It comes in many different forms - some people find they are mostly struggling to breathe out, others more to breathe in.  Some people are worse in damp environments, others in the city.  For some it's seasonal, for others it's year-round.  For some it's part of an allergic response, to pollen, pets, or other allergens, and for others it's related to phlegm in the lungs.

Acupuncture for asthma does not use a 'one size fits all' approach.  The diagnostic process looks at you as an individual, and examines your asthma within the wider context of your health.  Your asthma may be diagnosed as one of many different types, and treated accordingly, for example to support the lungs, strengthen your underlying constitution, reduce phlegm or reduce oversensitivity to allergens, as needed in your individual case.
