Patient's question:
The child is only five years old this year and suffers from primary asthma. We have taken her to many doctors and she has taken a lot of medication, but it hasn't been effective, mainly because she doesn't like taking medicine and finds it too bitter. I saw on TV that acupuncture can treat asthma. Is that really true?Doctor's answer:
Hello, moxibustion can treat pediatric asthma. The treatment method is very good, but it requires moxibustion at many acupoints. When moxibustion, it is necessary to have some patience. The principle of moxibustion treatment for this disease is to resolve phlegm and relieve wheezing. The main acupoints that need moxibustion are: During the attack phase: Dingquan, Tanzhong, Ti, Dazhu, Fenglong; During the remission phase: Feishu, Pishu, Shenshu, Gaohuang, Qihai, Zusanli.
