Acupuncture for coughs, colds & bronchitis

 

Breathing freely again


Acupuncture for coughs, colds, bronchitis; the miseries of the British winter!  Nothing's going to make having a cold any fun at all, but acupuncture can often be really helpful in relieving symptoms including runny nose, headaches, sinus congestion, cough, and phlegm. 

 

If we treat when you're just 'sickening', before a fully-fledged cold, acupuncture may even be able to stop the cold coming on, or reduce the severity compared to what would usually happen for you.

 

Meanwhile acupuncture addresses your health holistically, aiming to strengthen you and bring you back into better balance, so you'll hopefully be more resistant to the bugs going around.  This can be particularly useful if you tend towards frequent or lengthy coughs and colds.

 

Research

A 2003 report by the World Health Organisation (WHO) found that sore throat (including tonsilitis) is one of the conditions "for which the therapeutic effect of acupuncture has been shown but for which further proof is needed."
