Benefits of TCM for Asthma

  • Improves and balances the immune system
  • Reduces allergic reactions
  • Decreases bronchial inflammation
  • Regulates the nervous system to relax and expand the airways
  • Reduces excess mucus and phlegm
  • Increases lung capacity

Alongside treatment, certain lifestyle changes, such as reducing the intake of dairy, sugar, and fried foods, can enhance the effectiveness of TCM therapies.

Unlike treatments that only address symptoms, Dr. Tang’s approach focuses on the root cause of asthma. In many cases, this helps patients experience lasting improvement and even prevents future attacks.

What is asthma?

Asthma is a chronic condition that affects the airways of the lungs. In asthma, the airways become narrow, swollen, and may produce excess mucus, which makes breathing difficult. This can lead to symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.

Asthma can interfere with daily activities and, in severe cases, may cause a life-threatening asthma attack.

Although asthma cannot be cured, its symptoms can be effectively controlled with proper treatment and lifestyle management. Because the condition often changes over time, it is important to work closely with your doctor to monitor your symptoms and adjust treatment as needed.

What causes asthma?

Asthma is caused by chronic inflammation of the airways, which makes them swollen, narrow, and filled with mucus. This inflammation can be triggered or worsened by many factors, commonly called asthma triggers.

Some common asthma triggers include:

  • Allergens – pollen, pets, dust mites, mold, cockroaches, food allergies, and preservatives
  • Irritants – cigarette smoke, strong perfumes, cleaning products, air pollution
  • Respiratory infections – cold, flu, sinus infections, or bronchitis
  • Weather changes – sudden shifts in temperature or humidity
  • Physical activity – exercise-induced asthma
  • Other factors – heartburn or acid reflux and strong emotions like stress or laughter

Triggers can vary from person to person. Learning to identify and avoid your specific triggers is one of the best ways to prevent asthma flare-ups and stay healthy.

What are the symptoms of asthma?

Asthma symptoms can vary from person to person, and they may come and go. Common symptoms include:

  • Coughing, often worse at night or after exercise
  • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
  • Wheezing, a whistling sound when inhaling or exhaling
  • Chest tightness or chest pain

Other signs may include:

  • Feeling tired, anxious, or moody
  • Sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, or sore throat during flare-ups
  • Symptoms that worsen during respiratory infections, such as a cold or the flu

Asthma symptoms can be mild at times but may become severe during asthma attacks. Recognizing these signs early and managing triggers can help prevent complications and maintain better control over the condition.

How TCM and Acupuncture Treat Asthma

  1. Restoring Balance in the Body

    Traditional Chinese Medicine views asthma as an imbalance in the body’s energy, or Qi. Acupuncture helps restore this balance by stimulating specific meridian points, which improves the flow of energy and supports overall lung function.

  2. Strengthening the Immune System

    Asthma is often triggered by allergens. Both acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine work to boost the body’s immunity, making it more resistant to allergens and reducing the frequency of attacks.

  3. Reducing Inflammation in the Airways

    Acupuncture helps reduce inflammation in the bronchial tubes, which makes breathing easier. Herbal medicine complements this by soothing the respiratory system and calming irritation.

  4. Relaxing the Nervous System

    Asthma involves overreaction of the airways. Acupuncture regulates the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, relaxing airway muscles and allowing them to expand. This improves airflow and reduces wheezing.

  5. Controlling Mucus and Phlegm

    Excess mucus is a common symptom of asthma. Herbal medicine in TCM is specifically chosen to dry dampness and reduce phlegm, which helps clear the airways.

  6. Supporting Long-Term Lung Health

    Unlike conventional treatments that mainly relieve symptoms, TCM aims to address the root cause. Regular acupuncture and herbal therapy not only relieve immediate breathing difficulties but also increase lung capacity and reduce the likelihood of future attacks.
