Evidence
In 1979 the World Health Organisation listed asthma and bronchitis as two conditions (out of 40) for which acupuncture is effective.
Asthma Treatment
Acupuncture for asthma will strengthen the lungs and respiratory system.
Allergy testing for asthma will detect allergens that may be exacerbating the problem.
A case study
Scientists at the Department of Acupuncture, Second Municipal People's Hospital, Kaifeng City, Henan Province, studied 192 patients suffering from bronchial asthma, all of whom were treated by acupuncture.
The results revealed that there was an immediate total effective rate of 98.9%, and interestingly, the rate of clinical remission dropped and there was a marked improvement in 76.5% of the patients.
"Being an acupuncture practitioner myself, I know all too well how important it is to have faith in your practitioner's abilities. Tamzin's treatments have given me invaluable support over the last few years. Her treatments have provided fantastic relief for a number of health issues, most notably for a bad bout of asthma from which I suffered in the past couple of months."
