Even with the help of antibiotic and cough medication, many people suffer chronic bronchitis for years. Long term medication, especially antibiotics, will weaken the immune system. this leaves the body vulnerable to many more diseases.

Acupuncture and herbal medicines are very effective for bronchitis. It can provide permanent relief while medications are only temporary. Acupuncture and herbal medicines is great at tackling the root cause of bronchitis. This provides both internal and external relief.

I’ve had a patient who has suffered from a severe cough for 1 year. Her doctors gave her three different types of antibiotics and cough medication. However, she still could not control her symptoms and could find no relief. I gave her three acupuncture treatments. After that, her cough disappeared completely. She is very pleased with the end result.
