Using Acupuncture and herbs to help which Emphysema!

By Archived User | Updated: Dec 31, 2021 | Published: Dec 31, 2021

My mum suffers from Emphysema (and no she doesn’t smoke). I wondered if Acupuncture and Chinese herbs could help in any way with the condition. She constantly get infections and is on antibiotics. Also she always seems to have a lot of mucus which causes her to feel like its choking her it feels like so much is stuck on her chest. Any suggestions?

Yes a combination of acupuncture and Chinese herbal therapy should help to reduce the mucus, relieve any oppression in the chest, and generally promote a better state of health. The practitioner may also incorporate the techniques of cupping or gua sha if they find them appropriate for your mother’s case. Depending on how long she’s had symptoms it can take a few weeks to several months of treatment to significantly improve her condition.
