Asthma and Breathing Issues: Acupuncture for Respiratory Health in London

 For many Londoners, asthma, shortness of breath, sinus congestion and wheezing are more than seasonal inconveniences — they can limit daily activities, sleep quality, and overall wellbeing. While inhalers and medications manage symptoms, they often do not address the underlying imbalances causing recurrent respiratory issues. Acupuncture, guided by advanced pulse diagnosis, provides a holistic approach to improving lung function, resilience, and breathing naturally.

Understanding Asthma and Respiratory Issues from a Mind-Body Perspective

Asthma is not only a lung problem. In Chinese medicine, respiratory issues often reflect imbalances across multiple organ systems, including:

• Lung system deficiency leading to reduced oxygen intake and chronic congestion

• Spleen weakness impacting immune function and energy

• Kidney insufficiency affecting long-term respiratory strength

• Liver stagnation contributing to stress-induced flare-ups

• Nervous system overactivation increasing sensitivity and airway reactivity

These imbalances can manifest as wheezing, coughing, tightness in the chest, fatigue, or frequent infections.

How Pulse Diagnosis Identifies Respiratory Imbalances

George’s pulse diagnosis detects the source of the respiratory irritation and histamine response, such as seasonal pollen, allergy to pet (cat or dog) dander/fur, mold toxicity, dust, paint fumes or bleach. He can identify:

• Lung deficiency reducing breathing capacity

• Dampness or phlegm accumulation causing congestion

• Liver stress patterns that trigger inflammatory responses

• Nervous system imbalances heightening airway sensitivity

This precise insight allows acupuncture treatments to target the root causes of asthma and breathing issues.

Acupuncture for Lung and Respiratory Health

Acupuncture restores balance and supports respiratory health by:

• Strengthening the Lung system to improve airflow and oxygenation

• Supporting the Spleen and Kidney systems to enhance immunity and resilience

• Reducing inflammation and phlegm accumulation naturally

• Calming the nervous system to prevent stress-triggered flare-ups

• Enhancing energy and stamina for daily activity

Patients often notice easier breathing, fewer asthma attacks, and improved sleep within a few sessions.

A 35-year-old London teacher experienced persistent asthma and shortness of breath, particularly during pollen season. Despite daily inhaler use, she remained fatigued and struggled with sleep disruption. Pulse diagnosis revealed Lung deficiency, damp accumulation, and Liver stress contributing to inflammatory flare-ups. A targeted acupuncture plan addressed these imbalances, improving lung function, reducing inflammation, and stabilising her nervous system. Within six weeks, she reported clearer breathing, better sleep, and reduced reliance on medication.

Asthma and breathing difficulties often reflect systemic imbalances rather than isolated lung issues. Pulse diagnosis combined with acupuncture offers a natural, holistic way to strengthen respiratory function, reduce flare-ups, and improve overall health.
