Treating Asthma & Allergies with Acupuncture

Asthma and allergies often happen hand-in-hand, but you don’t necessarily have to have 1 to have the other. For both of these conditions, acupuncture focuses its treatment on correcting the root imbalance that is upsetting the body, thus allowing the body to help heal itself.

In chronic conditions such as allergies, your body often becomes hypersensitive to some environmental element. Acupuncture helps by stimulating the immune system to strengthen your defenses as well as helping to regulate your body’s reactions and decrease its hyperactivity. So instead of simply suppressing your body’s reaction with antihistamines, Chinese medicine works to correct the root cause of the problem. Many people have even been able to decrease their medications over time.

Asthma often has allergic triggers as well. However for many, stress and diet are just as powerful at triggering chest constrictions and disrupting a person’s breathing. Chinese medicine, along with Western medicine, can address the allergy response, help to decrease the stress and tension, as well as offering some lifestyle and dietary guidelines to help improve your asthma symptoms and frequency of occurrence.

What this means for you, is a drug free, natural way to live a more vibrant life. To be able to enjoy more days of breathing freely, having more energy, less wheezing, and being able to enjoy activities indoors or outdoors regardless of the season because your body is strong, well balanced, is able to live with the elements and not fight against them.
