Acupuncture for Respiratory Issues: Improve Breathing & Lung Function Naturally
Respiratory issues like asthma, COPD, sinusitis, and nasal congestion can make it difficult to breathe freely and disrupt daily life. At Balance Acupuncture, we use a holistic approach—Balance Method Acupuncture to restore energy flow in the Lung, Kidney, and Spleen systems to improve breathing and overall lung health.
Whether you’re struggling with asthma, chronic bronchitis, or sinus issues, acupuncture can help you breathe better, reduce symptoms, and improve your respiratory health naturally.
Common Respiratory Conditions Treated with Acupuncture
- Asthma: Wheezing, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing.
- Chronic Bronchitis: Persistent cough, mucus buildup, and fatigue.
- COPD: Difficulty breathing, fatigue, and reduced lung capacity.
- Sinusitis: Nasal congestion, headaches, and facial pressure.
- Sore Throat: Chronic irritation, dryness, and difficulty swallowing.
How Chinese Medicine Views Respiratory Health
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), respiratory health is closely tied to the balance of energy in the body. When energy flows properly, the body can breathe deeply, efficiently, and without obstruction. However, when this energy is blocked or weakened, respiratory issues arise.
Asthma & Lung Weakness
In Chinese Medicine, breathing is a dynamic balance of energy movement:
- Inhale → Energy descends into the Kidneys.
- Exhale → Energy ascends from the Lungs.
Asthma often stems from weak Kidney energy, which makes it difficult to anchor the breath. This results in shallow breathing and difficulty taking deep inhalations.
CCOPD & Lung-Kidney Imbalance
According to the Five Elements Theory in TCM:
- The Lung (Metal) nourishes the Kidney (Water).
- The Kidney (Yang) supports Lung function.
When Kidney energy declines, it fails to properly support the Lungs, leading to progressive breathing difficulties, fatigue, and poor oxygen circulation.
Sinusitis & Energy Blockages
The Spleen energy plays a vital role in fluid movement and digestion. It interacts with the Lung, Stomach, and Large Intestine systems to ensure proper fluid balance. Kidney energy also plays a role in chronic sinus issues.
When energy fails to ascend properly, sinus congestion and inflammation develop, leading to chronic sinusitis.
