Sinusitis & Asthma

Sinusitis & Asthma

Chronic sinusitis and asthma are both conditions associated with a chronic immune reaction that causes increased mucous production and airway constriction. The immune reaction is caused by a weakened immune system (see Allergies for more detail).

Both of these conditions can be extremely debilitating and can lead to ever increasing reliance on medications such as steroids, antibiotics, inhalers and nasal sprays.

Chinese medicine and acupuncture focuses on improving the flow of qi to the lung meridian and unblocking this channel. By clearing wind and heat from the lung, Chinese medicine can assist lung function. Chinese medicine also helps to balance the body fluids and remove body fluids blocking the lung meridian.

We will use your specific set of symptoms to make a treatment prescription tailored for you. Your treatment may include Acupuncture, Chinese herbs, cupping, massage, naturopathic herbals or nutritional supplements. Each treatment prescription is unique and will be discussed with you to get the mix right for your needs.
