In TCM Acupuncture the lung is considered a vital organ that regulates the body’s immune system. When the lung is strong the body can fight off external pathogens. When the lung is imbalanced symptoms might include COPD, cough, asthma, allergies, phlegm, chest pain, bloating, loss of voice, nasal congestion, impaired sense of smell, nosebleeds, and a weak and/or horses voice.
Acupuncture is effective for the condition we treat as it releases various endorphins that relax the lungs and vasodilate the airways improving the lung’s ability to bring in sufficient air and strengthen lung tissue.
