Acupuncture Phoenix - Use Acupuncture to Relieve the Symptoms of Lung Disease

Living in a dry climate, such as the Arizona desert, can be beneficial for people who suffer from lung related ailments such as Asthma or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).  This is especially true for those who have mold allergies, or similarly related sensitivities more prevalent in humid climates.  Recent research demonstrates that acupuncture can also relieve some of the side effects of lung disease.  

In an article published by Reuters titled, Acupuncture May Help Some People With COPD,
Genevra Pittman discusses the results of a three-month study conducted in Japan.  The results demonstrated significant healing properties associated with acupuncture. One doctor commented that while it has yet to be seen if acupuncture can actually extend life for COPD patients, acupuncture provided the relief necessary for a greater quality of life.  

Acupuncture Scottsdale - Acupuncture Promotes Relaxation

Patients who suffer from asthma, COPD, emphysema, or chronic Bronchitis can benefit from acupuncture.  Phoenix naturopathic doctors can use acupuncture in addition to, or in place of, over the counter and prescription medications, in order to promote relaxation. Acupuncture relaxes the muscles and tissues in the chest wall, which allows the airways to open up. After a series of treatments, patients will find that breathing becomes easier.  Relief from restricted airways can allow individuals to enjoy normal daily activities again.

In the three month study on acupuncture covered by Reuters, the patients remained on their current prescription drug program while receiving regular acupuncture treatments.  Holistic doctors can blend their natural treatments to complement an individual's traditional medicinal therapies.  It is always rewarding when a patient can use diet, lifestyle changes, and natural remedies to heal, or remove the symptoms, from a disease.  But acupuncture can also work in conjunction with modern western medicine.
