What We Treat

Respiratory Disorders

This page was reviewed by Dr. Laura Cowburn, Doctor of TCM and Registered Acupuncturist in Alberta.

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can support respiratory health by reducing inflammation, strengthening the immune system, improving lung function, and relieving symptoms affecting the sinuses, throat, and airways.

From a TCM perspective, respiratory issues are often related to imbalances in the Lung, Spleen, and Kidney systems. Treatment aims to strengthen the lungs, clear mucus, reduce inflammation, open the nasal passages, and support the body’s natural immune response, often alongside Chinese herbal medicine for deeper, longer-lasting support.
