Breathe easier. TCM strengthens the defensive Qi that protects against allergens, infections and respiratory dysfunction.
Respiratory and immune conditions — from hay fever to asthma to recurrent colds — reflect a weakened defensive Qi (Wei Qi) in Chinese medicine. Rather than suppressing symptoms, TCM builds the body's resilience from within, reducing sensitivity to triggers and strengthening the immune response over time.
Acupuncture reduces IgE-mediated allergic responses, modulates mast cell degranulation, strengthens mucosal immunity and reduces the systemic inflammation that drives chronic respiratory conditions. Treatment focuses on the Lung and defensive Wei Qi system, with points selected to open the nasal passages, reduce hypersensitivity and build long-term resilience.
Allergic rhinitis — WHO list of conditions for which acupuncture has demonstrated therapeutic effects. Multiple RCTs confirm reduction in nasal symptoms, antihistamine use and quality of life improvements.
Asthma — Cochrane Review finds acupuncture may reduce asthma severity and bronchodilator use as an adjunct to conventional management. Most benefit seen in mild-to-moderate asthma.
Immune regulation — Acupuncture modulates NK cell activity, T-cell populations and inflammatory cytokine profiles — providing a measurable immunomodulatory effect relevant to recurrent infections.
We track respiratory improvement using validated symptom diaries, Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) for rhinitis patients, and the Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) for asthma patients.
