According to the Chinese concept, all lung diseases, and therefore also asthmoid disease processes, are caused by Yang Vacuity in the area of lung (fei) and spleen (pi). This illness may erupt under the influence of cold and dampness and under excessive strain. Accordingly, Chinese ear acupuncture recommends including the large intestine zone (91), spleen zone (98), and kidney zone (95) in the treatment, depending on the state of their irritation, in order to strengthen the qi.

In very rare cases, asking their physician for acupuncture treatment is the asthma patient's first therapeutic choice. As they are usually already undergoing drug therapy, treatment with acupuncture is supposed to facilitate, among other things, a discontinuation or reduction of medication.

Note. Do not simply discontinue medication involving sympathomimetics or corticoids and replace them with acupuncture.
