What Is Asthma?

Asthma is primarily a breathing condition caused by inflammation of the airway lining in the body, rendering lung’s airways, or bronchial tubes, extremely sensitive to external and even internal stimuli. Because acupuncture and Chinese herbal treatment might have some side effects when combined with Western drugs, it is extremely important that asthma sufferers confer closely with their physician while undergoing acupuncture or herbal treatment. The most common cause of asthma is some kind of immune system deficiency, the sooner one begins acupuncture and herbal treatment after an attack, the better. Each attack further weakens the immune system, leading to a downward spiral – but acupuncture and herbal treatment help get the immune system back on track.
