Though, there is no permanent cure to asthma, several medications and therapies are available that can alleviate the symptoms of Asthma to a large extent.

However, regular use of medications can be frustrating and may seem like a burden over a period of time. But what seem to be most disturbing about traditional medications are the unpleasant side effects that are caused as a result of regular consumption and inhalation of these medicines. Today, several Asthma patients who have experienced harmful side effects due to long-term use of medications are turning to alternative medicines, therapies and practices that neither use pharmaceutical drugs nor recommend invasive surgery. Several traditional approaches such as herbal treatment, homeopathy, Ayurveda along with necessary lifestyle and dietary changes offers approach that is more wholesome, safer and better.

One such treatment option, which has been found to be extremely effective in treating respiratory disorders, is Acupuncture. This treatment option has been known to alleviate symptoms of allergy, asthma, bronchitis and emphysema. When acupuncture is used on a patient, the stimulus created as a response to the application of fine needles at specific points results in production of anti-inflammatory agents that helps in reducing the inflammation while affect the sympathetic nervous system so as to ease the smooth muscle constriction of the airways.

Acupuncture, which is an age old practice of healing falls under the large umbrella of traditional Chinese Medicine. Drawing its origin from ancient China, this treatment methodology is based on the philosophy that opposing forces of energy i.e. Yin and Yang flows across the body through precise pathways known as meridians or channels. When these energy forces are not in harmony with each other, diseases such as asthma/allergies are caused. In order to bring these energy forces in balance with each other fine, sterilized needles are introduced at specific points particularly the upper part of the lungs.

This in turn may significantly benefit the patients as the balance between the forces is believed to get restored.
