Natural Relief for Asthma & Bronchitis – Breathe Freely with TCM

1. How does TCM understand asthma?

In TCM, asthma is a sign of impaired lung function, often associated with phlegm, cold, or constitutional weakness of the Spleen and Kidneys. The goal of therapy is harmonization and sustainable strengthening of the entire respiratory system.

2. Does acupuncture help with asthma attacks?

Yes. It relaxes the bronchi, strengthens the lungs, and calms the breathing flow. Acupuncture provides relief during acute phases and stabilizes the system in the symptom-free intervals between attacks.

3. How do Chinese herbs work?

During acute phases, individually tailored herbs act as expectorants and sedatives. In the long term, they strengthen the lungs, the immune system, and the overall constitution.

4. Is TCM suitable for children?

Yes. Children especially benefit from the gentle, immune-regulating effects of TCM—without side effects. It is an ideal complementary support to conventional medicine.

5. How long should treatment continue?

For a sustainable effect, we recommend a treatment period of at least 3–6 months. TCM acts in a regulating, not suppressing, manner and develops a valuable long-term effect with consistent application.
