Do
You Know There Are Benefits Of Acupuncture For Asthma?
In recent years, many and many
people are turning to alternative treatment for asthma. Not just ordinary
alternative asthma treatment, but using the traditional chinese medicine (TCM)
therapy. Acupuncture is just one of them.
Discover the Benefits of
Acupuncture for Asthma
Acupuncture is an ancient form
of treatment for a variety of ailments. The philosophy behind it is that energy
flows through a person in opposing forces.
Diseases are said to be caused
by an imbalance of these "negative" and "positive" forces
and the energy is said to flow along pathways, or meridians.
Acupuncture is the process by
which extremely thin, long needles are inserted into the skin along certain
points on these meridians. The energies are adjusted by turning these needles
and leaving them in place for up to 20 minutes.
Acupuncture for asthma symptoms
has shown some benefit. Research in the past 15 years has proven the validity
and effectiveness of this treatment for several illnesses. There are several
reasons why you should consider acupuncture for asthma.
Various health bodies are
endorsing it.
Acupuncture can treat symptoms.
In 1979, the World Health Organization listed 40 diseases that acupuncture is
effective in treating. Acupuncture for asthma and bronchitis was on that list.
The University Hospital of
Vienna did a study that showed that 70% of patients with asthma reported
significant improvement in their symptoms after 10 weeks of acupuncture
treatments.
Scientists at a Chinese
hospital conducted a study that reported an immediate effective rate of 98.9%
after patients received acupuncture for asthma symptoms. The rate of remission
also dropped significantly and there was improvement in 76.5% of patients.
Will acupuncture reduce the
dependency on drugs?
As studies have shown,
acupuncture for asthma patients has shown benefits. Also, these patients were
able to reduce their dosage of asthma medication.
It is not advisable to quit any
medication cold turkey, and your doctor should be consulted if you want to make
any changes to your medication. However, some asthma medications have
undesirable short- and long-term effects.
Finding a safe alternative to
high dosage medications can be beneficial to your health and wallet.
Is acupuncture being regulated?
In 1996, the Federal Drug
Administration determined through several studies that acupuncture needles were
no longer "investigational medical devices" and were approved for use
by "qualified practitioners."
Each state has its own set of
laws to regulate acupuncture and set up standards for qualified practitioners.
In California, acupuncturists must graduate
from an approved school, complete four years of academic education in the
field, and pass a licensing examine.
If you are seeking a qualified
practitioner to perform acupuncture for asthma symptoms, be sure to do your
homework and find out if the person is licensed by a state agency.
Although it might sound sort of
mystical, acupuncture for asthma symptoms has been shown to be effective and
safe if done by a licensed practitioner.
In fact, many health care plans
will cover acupuncture. This treatment can be good way to treat asthma if
you're not finding relief through more traditional methods.
Of course the poking of needles
into bodies is not everyone favourite thing to do during past time. But, just
thinking of the long-effects of medication, acupuncture may just be another
alternative asthma treatment.
I have personally use
acupuncture to treatment long-term sinus problem and it works. This may be your
new paradigm shift in treating your asthma in the 21st century and now you can
be part of it.
Therefore, I strongly urged you
to start your journey and get your asthma treated as soon as possible, if you
are serious of getting back your asthma free life again
There
are many causes of asthma and each person can have different asthma attack
triggers. So, each person may need to use a different medical approach and
different asthma natural remedies.
Using
drugs to control your asthma makes sense when you first discover that you have
asthma provided your asthma is well established or life threatening. Once you
have your prescriptions and your doctor's instructions, you should consider
looking at or experimenting with natural remedies to control or even eliminate
your asthma, since drugs are not a cure.
No
matter what type of drug or inhaler you are using, they all have their side
effects. The longer you use drugs or an inhaler, the less effective they become
and most likely you will see side effects.
You
should use asthma natural remedies when you are having an asthma attack or when
asthma is under control. There are four areas you need to concentrate on when
examining asthma natural remedies.
1.Reduce mucus
2.Reduce inflammation
3.Reduce emotional and stressful situation
4.Improve immune system
Reduce
Mucus
By
using various herbs you can control and remove mucus from your bronchioles.
Test various herbs or herbal combinations to determine which work best for you.
Drink
carrot and celery juice and drink plenty of water daily to help dilute and move
mucus out of your body.
Reduce
Inflammation
There
are quite a few different nutrients that can help you reduce inflammation. You
should consider using more than one at a time. Start with these and then
experiment with the others.
Add omega-3 to your diet by using flax seed
oil or fish oil
Use MSM supplements
Take vitamin C supplement
Systemic enzymes, try Vitalzyme
Digestive enzymes
Reduce
Emotional and Stressful Situation
Reducing
stress in your life is a difficult area to deal with since some situations in
your life are strongly anchored, like your job, your family, your friends, or
marital situation. But if these areas are causing your stress and you
frequently have asthma attacks, then you have to decide which is more important
for you, your job or your health.
If
your job is deteriorating your health, then start looking for a way out. This
may require you to look for another job or to go back to school to get training
for something you might like to do. Just take action and start changing your
life.
Improve
Immune System
Improving
your immune system is accomplished through diet, through taking nutritional
supplements, by reducing stress, and eliminating those conditions that overwork
you body.
The
fewer things your immune system has to react to and get under control, the
stronger it is to take care of an asthma attack when it occurs. When your
immune system has to deal with toxins in your colon and throughout your body,
then it is weakened and not able to neutralize pollen or pollution you inhale
from the air which can trigger an asthma attack.
Use
drugs when you first discover you have asthma can make sense. But, if your
asthma is light, then finding asthma natural remedies to control it, instead of
using drugs, also makes a lot of sense.
