Chronic cough

Acupuncture has been shown to be very effective in treating both acute and chronic cough.

Symptoms

  • Pain in the lower abdomen

  • Burning and difficulty passing urine

Cough is caused by weak Lung Qi. A similar treatment approach as for "asthma" can be applied to chronic cough. Treatment of cough begins with finding the cause of the cough. Treatment often involves the use of Chinese herbs to stop the cough and loosen phlegm, combined with acupuncture, medical massage / Tuina massage, cupping.
