Acupuncture Helps Asthma

During the hot humid summers in Tennessee, dealing with asthma can be a difficulty for many.  Nashville is particularly effected since we are along the Cumberland River and the heat and humidity collect here. Chinese medicine can offer assistance with either acupuncture or herbal remedies. Acupuncture points on the chest, arms, and wrists can help open breathing.  Points on the legs and back can be added to relax the fight or flight response that often accompanies breathing difficulty.  A wide variety of herbal formulas can address the specific type of asthma that the client is dealing with. A well trained acupuncturist and herbalist will be able to make an individual diagnosis.
